¹⁶ Then the channels of the sea were seen;
    the foundations of the world were laid bare
at the rebuke of the Lord,
    at the blast of the breath of his nostrils.^(A)

¹⁵ Then the channels of the sea were seen,
    and the foundations of the world were laid bare
at your rebuke, O Lord,
    at the blast of the breath of your nostrils.^(A)

¹⁵ You cut openings for springs and torrents;
    you dried up ever-flowing streams.^(A)

³² who looks on the earth and it trembles,
    who touches the mountains and they smoke.^(A)

⁴ He rebukes the sea and makes it dry,
    and he dries up all the rivers;
Bashan and Carmel wither,
    and the bloom of Lebanon fades.
