He stretches out [the] north over emptiness; [he] hangs [the] earth {over nothing}. [He] ties up [the] water in its clouds, and [the] cloud is not torn open beneath it. [He] covers [the] face of [the] full moon; [he] spreads his cloud over it. read more.
{He has described a circle} on [the] face of [the] water {between light and darkness}. "[The] pillars of heaven tremble, and they are astounded at his rebuke. By his power he stilled the sea, and by his understanding he struck down Rahab. By his breath {the heavens were made clear}; his hand pierced [the] fleeing snake. Look, these [are] the outer fringes of his ways, and {how faint is the word} [that] we hear of him! But who can understand the thunder of his power?"

I applied my mind to seek and to search by wisdom all that is done under the heavens. It [is] a grievous task God has given to {humans}. I saw all the works that are done under the sun. Look! Everything [is] vanity and chasing wind. What is twisted cannot be straightened, and what is lacking cannot be counted. read more.
{I said to myself}, "Look! I have become great and have increased [in] wisdom more than anyone who {has preceded} me over Jerusalem. {I have acquired a great deal of wisdom and knowledge}." So {I dedicated myself} to learn about wisdom and [to] learn about delusion and folly. However, I discovered that this also [is] chasing wind.
