1And it came to pass after the seventh day, that I prayed before the Mighty One and said:
2'O my Lord, Thou summonest the advent of the times, And they stand before Thee; Thou causest the power of the ages to pass away, And they do not resist Thee;
3Thou arrangest the method of the seasons, And they obey Thee.
4Thou alone knowest the duration of the generations, And Thou revealest not Thy mysteries to many.
5Thou makest known the multitude of the fire, And Thou weighest the lightness of the wind.
6Thou explorest the limit of the heights, And Thou scrutinizest the depths of the darkness.
