Who hath ascended up into heaven, or descended? who hath gathered the wind in his fists? who hath bound the waters in a garment? who hath established all the ends of the earth? what is his name, and what is his son's name, if thou canst tell?

Verse 4 is found in chapter 30 of Proverbs. Chapter 30 introduces the words of Agur and adopts a different tone from the earlier collections. The speaker acknowledges the limits of his understanding and directs attention toward God’s greatness. He asks who has ascended to heaven, who controls the elements, and who has established the ends of the earth. God’s word appears as tested and trustworthy, and the reader is warned against adding anything to it.

Wer fährt hinauf gen Himmel und herab? Wer faßt den Wind in seine Hände? Wer bindet die Wasser in ein Kleid? Wer hat alle Enden der Welt gestellt? Wie heißt er? Und wie heißt sein Sohn? Weißt du das?
¿Quién subió al cielo, y descendió? ¿Quién encerró los vientos en sus puños? ¿Quién ató las aguas en un paño? ¿Quién afirmó todos los términos de la tierra? ¿Cuál es su nombre, y el nombre de su hijo, si sabes?
¿Quién ha subido al cielo y ha descendido? ¿Quién ha recogido el viento en sus puños? ¿Quién ha envuelto las aguas en un manto? ¿Quién ha establecido todos los confines de la tierra? ¿Cuál es su nombre y cuál el nombre de su hijo, si lo sabes?
Qui est monté aux cieux, et qui en est descendu? Qui a recueilli le vent dans ses mains? Qui a serré les eaux dans son vêtement? Qui a fait paraître les extrémités de la terre? Quel est son nom, et quel est le nom de son fils? Le sais-tu?
Chi è salito in cielo, e n’è disceso? Chi ha raccolto il vento nelle sue pugna? Chi ha serrate le acque nella sua vesta? Chi ha posti tutti i confini della terra? Quale è il suo nome, o quale è il nome del suo figliuolo, Se tu il sai?
Quem subiu ao céu e desceu? Quem encerrou os ventos nos seus punhos? Quem amarrou as águas numa roupa? Quem estabeleceu todas as extremidades da terra? Qual é o seu nome? E qual é o nome de seu filho, se é que o sabes?
誰升天又降下來? 誰聚風在手掌中? 誰包水在衣服裏? 誰立定地的四極? 他名叫甚麼? 他兒子名叫甚麼? 你知道嗎?
