Job:38:5-21
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Who hath laid the measures thereof ,
if thou knowest ?
or who hath stretched the line upon it ?
*
Whereupon are the foundations thereof fastened ?
or who laid the corner stone thereof ;
*
When the morning stars sang together ,
and all the sons of God shouted for joy ?
*
Or who shut up the sea with doors ,
when it brake forth ,
as if it had issued out of the womb ?
*
When I made the cloud the garment thereof ,
and thick darkness a swaddlingband for it ,
*
And brake up for it my decreed place ,
and set bars and doors ,
*
And said ,
Hitherto shalt thou come ,
but no further :
and here shall thy proud waves be stayed ?
*
Hast thou commanded the morning since thy days ;
and caused the dayspring to know his place ;
*
That it might take hold of the ends of the earth ,
that the wicked might be shaken out of it ?
*
It is turned as clay to the seal ;
and they stand as a garment .
*
And from the wicked their light is withholden ,
and the high arm shall be broken .
*
Hast thou entered into the springs of the sea ?
or hast thou walked in the search of the depth ?
*
Have the gates of death been opened unto thee ?
or hast thou seen the doors of the shadow of death ?
*
Hast thou perceived the breadth of the earth ?
declare if thou knowest it all .
*
Where is the way where light dwelleth ?
and as for darkness ,
where is the place thereof ,
*
That thou shouldest take it to the bound thereof ,
and that thou shouldest know the paths to the house thereof ?
*
Knowest thou it ,
because thou wast then born ?
or because the number of thy days is great ?
