Who has gone up to heaven, and come down? who has gathered the winds in his bosom? who has wrapped up the waters in a garment? who has dominion of all the ends of the earth? what is his name? or what is the name of his children?

Two things I ask of you; take not favor from me before I die.
8 ೮ ನನ್ನಿಂದ ಕಪಟವನ್ನೂ, ಸುಳ್ಳುಮಾತನ್ನೂ ತೊಲಗಿಸು, ಬಡತನವನ್ನಾಗಲಿ, ಐಶ್ವರ್ಯವನ್ನಾಗಲಿ ಕೊಡದೆ ನನಗೆ ತಕ್ಕಷ್ಟು ಆಹಾರವನ್ನು ಭೋಜನಮಾಡಿಸು.
Remove far from me vanity and falsehood: and give me not wealth [or] poverty; but appoint me what is needful and sufficient:
9 ೯ ಹಾಗಾಗದೆ ಹೊಟ್ಟೆತುಂಬಿದವನಾದರೆ, “ಯೆಹೋವನು ಯಾರೋ?” ಎಂದು ನಿನ್ನನ್ನು ತಿರಸ್ಕರಿಸೇನು, ಬಡವನಾದರೆ ಕಳ್ಳತನಮಾಡಿ ನನ್ನ ದೇವರಾದ ನಿನ್ನ ಹೆಸರನ್ನು ಅಯೋಗ್ಯವಾಗಿ ಎತ್ತೆನು.

The horse-leech had three dearly beloved daughters: and these three did not satisfy her; and the fourth was not contented so as to say, Enough.
16 ೧೬ ಯಾವುವೆಂದರೆ, ಪಾತಾಳ, ಹೆರದ ಗರ್ಭ, ನೀರಿನಿಂದ ತೃಪ್ತಿಪಡದ ಭೂಮಿ, ಸಾಕಾಯಿತೆಂದು ಹೇಳದ ಬೆಂಕಿ, ಇವೇ. (Sheol h7585)
The grave, and the love of a woman, and the earth not filled with water; water also and fire will not say, It is enough. (Sheol h7585)
17 ೧೭ ತಂದೆಯನ್ನು ಹಾಸ್ಯಮಾಡಿ ತಾಯಿಯ ಅಪ್ಪಣೆಯನ್ನು, ಧಿಕ್ಕರಿಸುವವನ ಕಣ್ಣನ್ನು, ಹಳ್ಳಕೊಳ್ಳದ ಕಾಗೆಗಳು ಕುಕ್ಕುವವು, ರಣಹದ್ದುಗಳು ತಿಂದುಬಿಡುವವು.

And [there are] four very little things upon the earth, but these are wiser than the wise:
the ants which are weak, and [yet] prepare [their] food in summer;

The locusts have no king, and [yet] march orderly at one command.
And the eft, which supports itself by [its] hands, and is easily taken, dwells in the fortresses of kings.
