Job 11:9

Who has measured the waters in the hollow of his hand, and marked off the sky with his span, and calculated the dust of the earth in a measuring basket, and weighed the mountains in scales, and the hills in a balance?

Who determined its measures, if you know? Or who stretched the line on it?

He establishes the force of the wind. Yes, he measures out the waters by measure.

Their voice has gone out through all the earth, their words to the end of the world. In them he has set a tent for the sun,

He also drove out the nations before them, allotted them for an inheritance by line, and made the tribes of Israel to dwell in their tents.

When he established the heavens, I was there. When he set a circle on the surface of the deep,

when he gave to the sea its boundary, that the waters should not violate his commandment, when he marked out the foundations of the earth,

But the pelican and the porcupine will possess it. The owl and the raven will dwell in it. He will stretch the line of confusion over it, and the plumb line of emptiness.

It is he who sits above the circle of the earth, and its inhabitants are like grasshoppers; who stretches out the heavens like a curtain, and spreads them out like a tent to dwell in,

Therefore Yahweh says: “I have returned to Jerusalem with mercy. My house shall be built in it,” says Yahweh of Armies, “and a line shall be stretched out over Jerusalem.” ’

so as to preach the Good News even to the parts beyond you, not to boast in what someone else has already done.
