⁵ Who hath laid the measures thereof, if thou knowest? or who hath stretched the line upon it?

¹² Who hath measured the waters in the hollow of his hand, and meted out heaven with the span, and comprehended the dust of the earth in a measure, and weighed the mountains in scales, and the hills in a balance?

2 I lifted up mine eyes again, and looked, and behold a man with a measuring line in his hand.

² Then said I, Whither goest thou? And he said unto me, To measure Jerusalem, to see what is the breadth thereof, and what is the length thereof.

⁹ The measure thereof is longer than the earth, and broader than the sea.

¹⁶ To preach the gospel in the regions beyond you, and not to boast in another man's line of things made ready to our hand.
