Job 38

1Then the Yahuah answered Job out of the whirlwind, and said, 2Who this that darkeneth counsel by words without knowledge? 3Gird up now your loins like a man; for I will demand of you, and answer you me. 4Where wast you when I laid the foundations of the earth? declare, if you hast understanding. 5Who has laid the measures thereof, if you knowest? or who has stretched the line upon it? 6Whereupon are the foundations thereof fastened? or who laid the corner stone thereof; 7When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of Elohim shouted for joy? 8Or shut up the sea with doors, when it brake forth, it had issued out of the womb? 9When I made the cloud the garment thereof, and thick darkness a swaddlingband for it, 10And brake up for it my decreed , and set bars and doors, 11And said, Hitherto shall you come, but no further: and here shall your proud waves be stayed? 12Hast you commanded the morning since your days; caused the dayspring to know his place; 13That it might take hold of the ends of the earth, that the wicked might be shaken out of it? 14It is turned as clay the seal; and they stand as a garment. 15And from the wicked their light is withholden, and the high arm shall be broken. 16Hast you entered into the springs of the sea? or hast you walked in the search of the depth? 17Have the gates of death been opened unto you? or hast you seen the doors of the shadow of death? 18Hast you perceived the breadth of the earth? declare if you knowest it all. 19Where the way light dwelleth? and darkness, where the place thereof, 20That you shouldest take it to the bound thereof, and that you shouldest know the paths the house thereof? 21Knowest you , because you wast then born? or the number of your days great? 22Hast you entered into the treasures of the snow? or hast you seen the treasures of the hail, 23Which I have reserved against the time of trouble, against the day of battle and war? 24By what way is the light parted, scattereth the east wind upon the earth? 25Who has divided a watercourse for the overflowing of waters, or a way for the lightning of thunder; 26To cause it to rain on the earth, no man the wilderness, wherein no man; 27To satisfy the desolate and waste ; and to cause the bud of the tender herb to spring forth? 28has the rain a father? or who has begotten the drops of dew? 29Out of whose womb came the ice? and the hoary frost of heaven, who has gendered it? 30The waters are hid as a stone, and the face of the deep is frozen. 31Canst you bind the sweet influences of Pleiades, or loose the bands of Orion? 32Canst you bring forth Mazzaroth in his season? or canst you guide Arcturus with his sons? 33Knowest you the ordinances of heaven? canst you set the dominion thereof in the earth? 34Canst you lift up your voice to the clouds, that abundance of waters may cover you? 35Canst you send lightnings, that they may go, and say unto you, Here we ? 36Who has put wisdom in the inward parts? or who has given understanding to the heart? 37Who can number the clouds in wisdom? or who can stay the bottles of heaven, 38When the dust groweth into hardness, and the clods cleave fast together? 39will you hunt the prey for the lion? or fill the appetite of the young lions, 40When they couch in dens, abide in the covert to lie in wait? 41Who provideth for the raven his food? when his young ones cry unto Elohim, they wander for lack of meat.
