38:14 It is turned 2015 8691 as clay 2563 [to] the seal 2368; and they stand 3320 8691 as a garment 3830.

38:15 And from the wicked 7563 their light 216 is withholden 4513 8735, and the high 7311 8802 arm 2220 shall be broken 7665 8735.

38:20 That thou shouldest take 3947 8799 it to the bound 1366 thereof, and that thou shouldest know 995 8799 the paths 5410 [to] the house 1004 thereof?(to the bound: or, at, etc)

38:21 Knowest 3045 8804 thou [it], because thou wast then born 3205 8735? or [because] the number 4557 of thy days 3117 [is] great 7227?
