the lord made regions and uninhabited places and uttermost parts of the inhabitable world the under the heavens
when he prepared the heaven I was present with him and when he separated the his throne upon the winds
when strong he made the upward clouds and as safe he made the springs the under heaven
in the putting to the sea of his restriction his and the waters shall not go by his mouth his and as strong he made the foundations the of the earth
I was by him being in accord I was in which he rejoiced with each day and I was glad in front of him at all time
when he was pleased with the the inhabitable world completing and was pleased among the sons of men

the ones and sinning against me are impious unto the their own souls and the ones detesting me love death
