While he was still speaking, another also came and said, “The fire of God fell from heaven and burned up the sheep and the servants, and consumed them; and I alone have escaped to tell you!”

And when they raised their eyes from afar, and did not recognize him, they lifted their voices and wept; and each one tore his robe and sprinkled dust on his head toward heaven.

He alone spreads out the heavens, And treads on the waves of the sea;

They are higher than heaven—what can you do? Deeper than Sheol—what can you know?

So man lies down and does not rise. Till the heavens are no more, They will not awake Nor be roused from their sleep.

If God puts no trust in His saints, And the heavens are not pure in His sight,

Surely even now my witness is in heaven, And my evidence is on high.

Though his haughtiness mounts up to the heavens, And his head reaches to the clouds,

The heavens will reveal his iniquity, And the earth will rise up against him.

“Is not God in the height of heaven? And see the highest stars, how lofty they are!

Thick clouds cover Him, so that He cannot see, And He walks above the circle of heaven.’

The pillars of heaven tremble, And are astonished at His rebuke.

By His Spirit He adorned the heavens; His hand pierced the fleeing serpent.

For He looks to the ends of the earth, And sees under the whole heavens,

Look to the heavens and see; And behold the clouds— They are higher than you.

Who teaches us more than the beasts of the earth, And makes us wiser than the birds of heaven?’

He sends it forth under the whole heaven, His lightning to the ends of the earth.

From whose womb comes the ice? And the frost of heaven, who gives it birth?

Do you know the ordinances of the heavens? Can you set their dominion over the earth?

Who can number the clouds by wisdom? Or who can pour out the bottles of heaven,

Who has preceded Me, that I should pay him? Everything under heaven is Mine.
