<p class="poetry">he alone spreads out the heavens,p> <p class="poetry">and treads<n id="1" /> on the waves of the sea;<n id="2" />p>

<p class="poetry">for he stretches out his hand against God,<n id="1" />p> <p class="poetry">and vaunts himself<n id="2" /> against the Almighty,p>

<p class="poetry">My feet<n id="1" /> have followed<n id="2" /> his steps closely;p> <p class="poetry">I have kept to his way and have not turned aside.<n id="3" />p>

<p class="poetry">They turn the needy from the pathway,p> <p class="poetry">and the poor of the land hide themselves together.<n id="1" />p>

<p class="poetry">He will not grow rich,p> <p class="poetry">and his wealth will not endure,p> <p class="poetry">nor will his possessions<n id="1" /> spread over the land.p>

<p class="poetry">He spreads out the northern skies<n id="1" /> over empty space;<n id="2" />p> <p class="poetry">he suspends the earth on nothing.<n id="3" />p>

<p class="poetry">If my footsteps have strayed from the way,p> <p class="poetry">if my heart has gone after my eyes,<n id="1" />p> <p class="poetry">or if anything<n id="2" /> has defiled my hands,p>

<p class="poetry">Be careful that<n id="1" /> no one entices you with riches;p> <p class="poetry">do not let a large bribe<n id="2" /> turn you aside.p>

<p class="poetry">Who set its measurements &#8211; if<n id="1" /> you know &#8211;p> <p class="poetry">or who stretched a measuring line across it?p>
