Job 38:5

¹²Who has measured the waters in the hollow of his hand, and marked off the sky with his span, and calculated the dust of the earth in a measuring basket, and weighed the mountains in scales, and the hills in a balance?

¹I lifted up my eyes, and saw, and behold, a man with a measuring line in his hand. ²Then I asked, “Where are you going?” He said to me, “To measure Jerusalem, to see what is its width and what is its length.”

⁹Its measure is longer than the earth, and broader than the sea.

¹¹But the pelican and the porcupine will possess it. The owl and the raven will dwell in it. He will stretch the line of confusion over it, and the plumb line of emptiness.

⁴Their voice has gone out through all the earth, their words to the end of the world. In them he has set a tent for the sun,

²²It is he who sits above the circle of the earth, and its inhabitants are like grasshoppers; who stretches out the heavens like a curtain, and spreads them out like a tent to dwell in,

¹⁶so as to preach the Good News even to the parts beyond you, not to boast in what someone else has already done.

²⁷When he established the heavens, I was there. When he set a circle on the surface of the deep,

⁵⁵He also drove out the nations before them, allotted them for an inheritance by line, and made the tribes of Israel to dwell in their tents.

²⁵He establishes the force of the wind. Yes, he measures out the waters by measure.
