5
Who [G5100] established [G5087] the [G3588] measures [G3358] of it [G1473], if [G1487] you know [G1492]? Or [G2228] who [G5100] [is] the [G3588] [one] bringing [G1863] a measuring cord upon [G1909] it [G1473]?

21
Have you known [G1492] that it is so [G3754] then [G5119] [because] you were born [G1080], and number [G1161] of your years [G2094][G1473] great [G4183]?
