Rh :And he knoweth the place thereof.
 * For he looketh to the ends of the earth,
 * And seeth under the whole heaven;
 * To make the weight for the winds;
 * And he weigheth the waters by measure.
 * When he made a decree for the rain,
 * And a way for the lightning of the thunder:
 * Then did he see it, and declare it;
 * He prepared it, yea, and searched it out.
 * And unto man he said. Behold, the fear of the Lord, that is wisdom;
 * And to depart from evil is understanding.

Job continued his parable, and said,
 * Oh that I were as in months past,
 * As in the days when God preserved me;
 * When his candle shined upon my head.
 * And when by his light I walked through darkness ;
 * As I was in the days of my youth.
 * When the secret of God was upon my tabernacle;
 * When the Almighty was yet with me,
 * When my children were about me;
 * When I washed my steps with butter,
 * And the rock poured me out rivers of oil;
 * When I went out to the gate through the city,
 * When I prepared my seat in the street!
 * The young men saw me, and hid themselves:
 * And the aged arose, and stood up.
