4 Where wast thou
when I laid the foundations of the earth?
declare, if thou hast understanding.
5 Who hath laid the measures thereof, if thou knowest?

when it brake forth, as if it had issued
out of the womb?

9 Or what man is there of you,
whom if his son ask bread, will he give him a stone?
10 Or if he ask a fish, will he give him a serpent?

how much more shall your Father which is in heaven
give good things to them that ask him?

which must be hereafter.

and, behold,

like a jasper and a sardine stone:
and there was a rainbow
round about the throne,
in sight like unto an emerald.
