4: Where in the world did you learn all this? How did you become so inspired?
5: "All the buried dead are in torment, and all who've been drowned in the deep, deep sea.
6: Hell is ripped open before God, graveyards dug up and exposed.
7: He spreads the skies over unformed space, hangs the earth out in empty space.
8: He pours water into cumulus cloud-bags and the bags don't burst.
9: He makes the moon wax and wane, putting it through its phases.
10: He draws the horizon out over the ocean, sets a boundary between light and darkness.
