Who is this that darkens my counsel
With words without knowledge?
Brace yourself like a man;
I will question you,
And you shall answer me.
Where were you when I laid the earth's foundation?
Tell me, if you understand.
Who marked off its dimensions? Surely you know!
Who stretched a measuring line across it?
On what were its footings set,
Or who laid its cornerstone--
While the morning stars sang together
And all the angels shouted for joy?
