Job 38




updv@Job:38:1 @ Then Yahweh answered Job out of the whirlwind, and said,

updv@Job:38:2 @ Who is this that darkens counsel By words without knowledge?

updv@Job:38:3 @ Gird up now your loins like a [noble] man; For I will demand of you, and you declare to me.

updv@Job:38:4 @ Where were you when I laid the foundations of the earth? Declare, if you have understanding.

updv@Job:38:5 @ Who determined its measures, if you know? Or who stretched the line on it?

updv@Job:38:6 @ On what were its foundations fastened? Or who laid its cornerstone,

updv@Job:38:7 @ When the morning stars sang together, And all the sons of God shouted for joy?

updv@Job:38:8 @ Or [who] shut up the sea with doors, When it broke forth, [as if] it had issued out of the womb;

updv@Job:38:9 @ When I made clouds its garment, And thick darkness a swaddling-band for it,

updv@Job:38:10 @ And marked out for it my bound, And set bars and doors,

updv@Job:38:11 @ And said, This far you will come, but no further; And here will your proud waves be placed?

updv@Job:38:12 @ Have you commanded the morning since your days [began], [And] caused the sunrise to know its place;

updv@Job:38:13 @ That it might take hold of the ends of the earth, And the wicked be shaken out of it?

updv@Job:38:14 @ It is changed as clay under the seal; And [all things] stand forth as a garment:

updv@Job:38:15 @ And from the wicked their light is withheld, And the high arm is broken.

updv@Job:38:16 @ Have you entered into the springs of the sea? Or have you walked in the recesses of the deep?

updv@Job:38:17 @ Have the gates of death been revealed to you? Or have you seen the gates of the shadow of death?

updv@Job:38:18 @ Have you comprehended the earth in its width? Declare, if you know it all.

updv@Job:38:19 @ Where is the way to the place that light stays? And as for darkness, where is its place,

updv@Job:38:20 @ That you should take it to its bound, And that you should discern the paths to its house?

updv@Job:38:21 @ [Doubtless], you know, for you were then born, And the number of your days is great!

updv@Job:38:22 @ Have you entered the treasuries of the snow, Or have you seen the treasures of the hail,

updv@Job:38:23 @ Which I have reserved against the time of trouble, Against the day of battle and war?

updv@Job:38:24 @ Where is the way to the place that light is distributed, Or [from where is] the east wind scattered on the earth?

updv@Job:38:25 @ Who has cleft a channel for the floodwater, And a way for the lightning of the thunder;

updv@Job:38:26 @ To cause it to rain on a land where there is not a man; On the wilderness, in which there is not man;

updv@Job:38:27 @ To satisfy the waste and desolate [ground], And to cause the tender grass to spring forth?

updv@Job:38:28 @ Has the rain a father? Or who has begotten the drops of dew?

updv@Job:38:29 @ Out of whose womb came the ice? And the frost of heaven, who has given birth to it?

updv@Job:38:30 @ The waters hide themselves [and become] like stone, And the face of the deep is frozen.

updv@Job:38:31 @ Can you bind the cluster of the Pleiades, Or loose the bands of Orion?

updv@Job:38:32 @ Can you lead forth the Mazzaroth in their season? Or can you guide the Bear with her train?

updv@Job:38:33 @ Do you know the ordinances of the heavens? Can you establish their dominion in the earth?

updv@Job:38:34 @ Can you lift up your voice to the clouds, That abundance of waters may cover you?

updv@Job:38:35 @ Can you send forth lightnings, that they may go, And say to you, Here we are?

updv@Job:38:36 @ Who has put wisdom in the ibis? Or who has given understanding to the rooster?

updv@Job:38:37 @ Who can number the clouds by wisdom? Or who can pour out the bottles of heaven,

updv@Job:38:38 @ When the dust runs into a mass, And the clods are stuck together?

updv@Job:38:39 @ Can you hunt the prey for the lioness, Or satisfy the appetite of the young lions,

updv@Job:38:40 @ When they couch in their dens, [And] remain in the covert to lie in wait?

updv@Job:38:41 @ Who provides for the raven his prey, When his young ones cry to God, [And] wander for lack of food?

updv@Job:38:1 @ Then Yahweh answered Job out of the whirlwind, and said,

updv@Job:38:2 @ Who is this that darkens counsel By words without knowledge?

updv@Job:38:3 @ Gird up now your loins like a [noble] man; For I will demand of you, and you declare to me.
