1 And Jehovah answereth Job out of the whirlwind, and saith:  --
         
                                
                        2 Who [is] this -- darkening counsel, By words without  knowledge?
         
                                
                        3 Gird, I pray thee, as a man, thy loins, And I ask thee, and  cause thou Me to know.
         
                                
                        4 Where wast thou when I founded earth? Declare, if thou hast  known understanding.
         
                                
                        5 Who placed its measures -- if thou knowest? Or who hath  stretched out upon it a line?
         
                                
                        6 On what have its sockets been sunk? Or who hath cast its  corner-stone?
         
                                
                        7 In the singing together of stars of morning, And all sons  of God shout for joy,
