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?

whom if his son ask bread, will he give him a stone?

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

which must be hereafter.

like a jasper and a sardine stone:

round about the throne,
in sight like unto an emerald.
