⁵ He ^(A)set the earth on its foundations,
    so that it should never be moved.

⁴ Who has ^(A)ascended to heaven and come down?
    Who has ^(B)gathered the wind in his fists?
Who has ^(C)wrapped up the waters in a garment?
    Who has established all ^(D)the ends of the earth?
^(E)What is his name, and what is his son's name?
    Surely you know!

^12 (A)Who has measured the waters in the hollow of his hand
    and marked off the heavens with a span,
enclosed the dust of the earth in a measure
    and weighed the mountains in scales
    and the hills in a balance?
^13 (B)Who has measured^[a] the Spirit of the Lord,
    or what man shows him his counsel?
¹⁴ Whom did he consult,
    and who made him understand?
^(C)Who taught him the path of justice,
    and taught him knowledge,
    and showed him the way of understanding?

²⁴ When there were no ^(A)depths I was ^(B)brought forth,
    when there were no springs abounding with water.
²⁵ Before the mountains ^(C)had been shaped,
    ^(D)before the hills, I was brought forth,
²⁶ before he had made the earth with its fields,
    or the first of the dust of the world.
²⁷ When he ^(E)established the heavens, I was there;
    when he drew ^(F)a circle on the face of the deep,
²⁸ when he ^(G)made firm the skies above,
    when he established^[a] the fountains of the deep,
²⁹ when he ^(H)assigned to the sea its ^(I)limit,
    so that the waters might not transgress his command,
when he marked out ^(J)the foundations of the earth,
