gltv@Job:38:1 @ And Jehovah answered out of the tempest and said:
gltv@Job:38:2 @ Who is this that darkens counsel by words without knowledge?
gltv@Job:38:3 @ Now gird up your loins like a man, for I will question you; and you teach Me.
gltv@Job:38:4 @ Where were you when I laid the foundations of the earth? Declare if you know understanding.
gltv@Job:38:5 @ Who has set its measurements, for you know? Or who has stretched a line on it?
gltv@Job:38:6 @ On what were its bases sunk? Or who cast its cornerstone,
gltv@Job:38:7 @ when the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy?
gltv@Job:38:8 @ Or who shut up the sea with doors, when it burst out; it came forth from the womb?
gltv@Job:38:9 @ When I made the clouds to clothe it, and darkness its navel-band;
gltv@Job:38:11 @ and I said, You shall come to here, but no further; and here your proud waves shall be set?
gltv@Job:38:12 @ Have you commanded the morning from your days, and caused the dawn to know its place,
gltv@Job:38:13 @ that it might take hold of the wings of the earth; that the wicked might be shaken out of it?
gltv@Job:38:14 @ It is turned like clay under a seal; and they stand out like a garment.
gltv@Job:38:15 @ And their light is withheld from the wicked, and the high arm shall be broken.
gltv@Job:38:16 @ Have you gone to the springs of the sea; or have you walked in searching of the deep?
gltv@Job:38:17 @ Have death's gates been opened to you; or have you seen the gates of the shadow of death?
gltv@Job:38:18 @ Have you comprehended the breadth of the earth? Declare, if you know it all!
gltv@Job:38:19 @ Where is this, the way light dwells; and where is the place of darkness,
gltv@Job:38:20 @ that you should take it to its boundary, and that you should perceive the paths to its house?
gltv@Job:38:21 @ You know, for then you were born, and the number of your days is great.
gltv@Job:38:22 @ Have you entered into the storehouses of the snow, or have you seen the storehouses of the hail,
gltv@Job:38:23 @ which I have reserved for the time of distress for the day of battle and war?
gltv@Job:38:24 @ How is it, the way the light is distributed; and how does the east wind spread itself on the earth?
gltv@Job:38:25 @ Who has cut a channel for the flood; or a way for the thunderclaps,
gltv@Job:38:26 @ to make rain fall on the earth where no man is, a wilderness and no man in it;
gltv@Job:38:27 @ to satisfy the waste and desolation, and to cause the source of grass to sprout?
gltv@Job:38:28 @ Is there a father for the rain? Or who has given birth to the drops of dew?
gltv@Job:38:29 @ From whose womb comes forth the ice; and the frost of the heavens, who fathered it;
gltv@Job:38:30 @ the waters hidden like stone, and the face of the deep is captured?
gltv@Job:38:31 @ Can you bind the bands of the Pleiades, or loosen the cords of Orion?
gltv@Job:38:32 @ Can you bring out the constellations in their season; or can you guide the Bear with its sons?
gltv@Job:38:33 @ Do you know the limits of the heavens; can you establish their rulership on the earth?
gltv@Job:38:34 @ Can you lift your voice to the clouds, so that floods of water may cover you?
gltv@Job:38:35 @ Can you send lightnings, that they may go and say to you, Here we are?
gltv@Job:38:36 @ Who has put wisdom in the inward parts; or who has given understanding to the mind?
gltv@Job:38:37 @ Who can by wisdom number the clouds or who can lay down the jars of the heavens,
gltv@Job:38:38 @ when the dust is melted into hardness, and the clods cling fast together?
gltv@Job:38:39 @ Will you hunt the prey for the lion, or fill the appetite of the young lions,
gltv@Job:38:40 @ when they crouch in dens, and sit in the cover of their hiding place?
gltv@Job:38:41 @ Who provides food for the raven, when its young ones cry to God and wander about without food?
