- and all the high hills:
- At the present day every mountain where search has been made, conspire in one uniform, universal proof that they all had the sea spread over their highest summits; shells, skeletons of fish, etc., having been found there. "Behold,¹ he withholdethª° the waters,ª and they dry up:ª° also he sendeth them out,ª° and they overturnª° the earth.ª" {Job 12:15} + "Therefore¹¹ will not¹ we fear,ª° though the earthª be removed,ª° and though the mountainsª be carriedª° into the midstª of the sea;ª ... [Though] the watersª thereof roarª° [and] be troubled,ª° [though] the mountainsª shakeª° with the swellingª thereof. Selah.ª" {Psa 46:2-3} + "Thou coveredstª° it with the deepª as [with] a garment:ª the watersª stoodª° above¹ the mountains.ª ... Thou hast setª° a boundª that they may not¹ pass over;ª° that they turn not againª°¹ to coverª° the earth.ª" {Psa 104:6-9} + "Trulyª in vainª [is salvation hoped for] from the hills,ª¹ [and from] the multitudeª of mountains:ª trulyª in the LORDª our Godª [is] the salvationª of Israel.ª" {Jer 3:23} + "Wherebyªª the¹ worldª that then¹ was,² being overflowedª° with water,ª perished:ª°" {2Pe 3:6}
