And hangs the earth on nothing.

The faintest whisper of His voice!
Who can contemplate the thunder of His [full] mighty power?”

And all their host by the breath of His mouth.

And marked off the heavens with a span [of the hand],
And calculated the dust of the earth with a measure,
And weighed the mountains in a balance
And the hills in a pair of scales?

She is emptied! She is desolate and waste!
Hearts melting [in fear] and knees knocking!
Anguish is in the whole body,
And the faces of all grow pale!
