From Job, Chap. XXVI. v. 7.
Of GOD.
He o'er the spacious Void the North extends:On nothing He the balanc'd Orb suspends.
He binds the Waters in the thick'ning Clouds;
Nor burst the Clouds beneath the weighty Floods.
He, in the deep Recess, his Throne conceals;
And, all above, with gloomy Darkness veils.
The Main he limits with the ambient Shore,
Till Day and Night alternate roll no more.
The Poles of Heav'n, like Columns unremov'd,
With Horror tremble when by him reprov'd,
He, in his Strength, divides the vast Profound;
The Proud, in Wisdom, deeply does He wound.
His Spirit Heav'n adorn'd; his Hand inroll'd
The bending Serpent in a circling Fold.
These of his Works are Part; a slender Store!
But who can know Him thund'ring in his Pow'r!
