Job 38:7
5 Who fixed its measurements? Surely you know! Or who stretched a measuring line across it?
6 On what were its foundations set, or who laid its cornerstone,
while the morning stars sang together and all the sons of God shouted for joy?
8 Who enclosed the sea behind doors when it burst forth from the womb,
9 when I made the clouds its garment and thick darkness its blanket,
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
