To Eber were born two sons. One was named Peleg, because the earth was divided during his lifetime. His brother was named Joktan.

Just then the earth shook and trembled! The foundations of heaven reeled and quaked because the LORD was angry.




Then God said, "Let there be a canopy between bodies of water, separating bodies of water from bodies of water!" So God made a canopy that separated the water beneath the canopy from the water above it. And that is what happened:

He established the earth on its foundations, so that it never falters. You covered the primeval ocean like a garment; the water stood above the mountains. They flee at your rebuke; they rush away at the sound of your thunders. read more.
Mountains rise up and valleys sink to the place you have ordained for them. You have set a boundary they cannot cross; they will never again cover the earth.




He spreads out the north over empty space, suspending the earth over nothing. "He restricts the waters within clouds and the clouds don't burst open under them. He has enclosed the face of the full moon and spread his clouds over it. read more.
He has delimited a boundary over the surface of the oceans as a limit between light and darkness. The pillars of the heavens tremble and are astounded at his rebuke. By his power he disturbs the sea; and with his skill he shatters the sea monster. He clears the skies with his wind; his hands have pierced the fleeing serpent. Indeed, these are the fringes of his ways, and how faint is the whisper we've heard of it! But who can comprehend the thunder of his might?"

I dedicated myself to using wisdom for study and discovery of everything that is done under heaven. God uses terrible things so human beings will struggle with life. I observed every activity done on earth. My conclusion: all of it is pointless like chasing after the wind. What is crooked cannot be made straight; what is not there cannot be counted. read more.
I told myself, "I have become greater and wiser than anyone who ruled before me in Jerusalem yes, I have acquired a great deal of wisdom and knowledge." So I dedicated myself to learn about wisdom and knowledge, and about insanity and foolishness. And I discovered that this is also like chasing after the wind.
