The Voice
2 Eternal One: Who is this that darkens counsel,
who covers over sound instruction with empty words void of knowledge?
3 Now, prepare yourself and gather your courage like a warrior.
Prepare yourself for the task at hand.
I’ll be asking the questions, now—
you will supply the answers.
4 Where were you when I dug and laid the foundation of the earth?
Explain it to me, if you are acquainted with understanding.
