Revised Standard Version

²“Who is this that darkens counsel by words without knowledge?
³Gird up your loins like a man,

⁴“Where were you when I laid the foundation of the earth?
    Tell me, if you have understanding.
⁵Who determined its measurements—surely you know!
    Or who stretched the line upon it?
⁶On what were its bases sunk,
    or who laid its cornerstone,
⁷when the morning stars sang together,
    and all the sons of God shouted for joy?
