I sundered and set in order Earth and also Heaven; I generated the seasons, seven together. I—what I speak—make both truth and untruth; I encompass with divine Speech the peoples also.
मैंने धरती और आसमान को अलग किया और सही जगह पे रखा। मैंने मौसम बनाए, सातों एक साथ। जो मैं बोलता हूँ वो सच भी होता है और झूठ भी। मैं सब लोगों को अपनी बात में लाता हूँ।
