Job 38

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