<p class="poetry">He has searched<n id="1" /> the sources<n id="2" /> of the riversp> <p class="poetry">and what was hidden he has brought into the light.p>

<p class="poetry">&#8220;Who shut up<n id="1" /> the sea with doorsp> <p class="poetry">when it burst forth,<n id="2" /> coming out of the womb,p>

<p class="poetry">He grows up<n id="1" /> like a flower and then withers away;<n id="2" />p> <p class="poetry">he flees like a shadow, and does not remain.<n id="3" />p>

<p class="poetry">The earth, from which food comes,p> <p class="poetry">is overturned below as though by fire;<n id="1" />p>

<p class="poetry">Listen carefully<n id="1" /> to the thunder of his voice,p> <p class="poetry">to the rumbling<n id="2" /> that proceeds from his mouth.p>

<p class="poetry">From whose womb does the ice emerge,p> <p class="poetry">and the frost from the sky,<n id="1" /> who gives birth to it,p>

<p class="poetry">It<n id="1" /> paws the ground in the valley,<n id="2" />p> <p class="poetry">exulting mightily,<n id="3" />p> <p class="poetry">it goes out to meet the weapons.p>

<p class="poetry">Smoke streams from its nostrilsp> <p class="poetry">as from a boiling pot over burning<n id="1" /> rushes.p>

<p class="poetry">Its breath sets coals ablazep> <p class="poetry">and a flame shoots from its mouth.p>

<p class="poetry">For evil does not come up from the dust,<n id="1" />p> <p class="poetry">nor does trouble spring up from the ground,p>

<p class="poetry">then let thorns sprout up in place of wheat,p> <p class="poetry">and in place of barley, weeds!&#8221;<n id="1" />p> <p class="bodytext">The words of Job are ended.p>
