10. Very immeasurable are the makings of the Maker; no teller 
can tell them. If the whole universe took the seven heavens 1 for paper, 
and filled the seas 2 of the earth with ink. If it took as many branches 
as cover 3 all the forests in the world, and all the hairs and down (of 
animals), and all the feathers of birds. If it took the motes of dust and 
the like where’er it found them, and all the drops in the clouds and all 
the stars of heaven ; and turned them all to pens and wrote, still then 
it could not write the shoreless ocean of his wondrous works. So hath 
He manifested all His skill, that even now not one drop of that ocean 
hath decreased. Think thou of this and let not pride he in thy heart. 
Tor mad is he, who, in his heart, nourishetli pride. 
Very skilled is the Lord. What He willeth, for him that quickly is. 
And so skilfully doth He arrange (creation), that He displayeth count- 
less kinds of skill.
