asv - Job:38

asv@Job:38:1 @Then Jehovah answered Job out of the whirlwind, and said,

asv@Job:38:2 @Who is this that darkeneth counsel By words without knowledge?

asv@Job:38:3 @Gird up now thy loins like a man; For I will demand of thee, and declare thou unto me.

asv@Job:38:4 @Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth? Declare, if thou hast understanding.

asv@Job:38:5 @Who determined the measures thereof, if thou knowest? Or who stretched the line upon it?

asv@Job:38:6 @Whereupon were the foundations thereof fastened? Or who laid the corner-stone thereof,

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

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

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

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

asv@Job:38:11 @And said, Hitherto shalt thou come, but no further; And here shall thy proud waves be stayed?

asv@Job:38:12 @Hast thou commanded the morning since thy days began, And caused the dayspring to know its place;

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

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

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

asv@Job:38:16 @Hast thou entered into the springs of the sea? Or hast thou walked in the recesses of the deep?

asv@Job:38:17 @Have the gates of death been revealed unto thee? Or hast thou seen the gates of the shadow of death?

asv@Job:38:18 @Hast thou comprehended the earth in its breadth? Declare, if thou knowest it all.

asv@Job:38:19 @Where is the way to the dwelling of light? And as for darkness, where is the place thereof,

asv@Job:38:20 @That thou shouldest take it to the bound thereof, And that thou shouldest discern the paths to the house thereof?

asv@Job:38:21 @Doubtless, thou knowest, for thou wast then born, And the number of thy days is great!

asv@Job:38:22 @Hast thou entered the treasuries of the snow, Or hast thou seen the treasures of the hail,

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

asv@Job:38:24 @By what way is the light parted, Or the east wind scattered upon the earth?

asv@Job:38:25 @Who hath cleft a channel for the waterflood, Or the way for the lightning of the thunder;

asv@Job:38:26 @To cause it to rain on a land where no man is; On the wilderness, wherein there is no man;

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

asv@Job:38:28 @Hath the rain a father? Or who hath begotten the drops of dew?

asv@Job:38:29 @Out of whose womb came the ice? And the hoary frost of heaven, who hath gendered it?

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

asv@Job:38:31 @Canst thou bind the cluster of the Pleiades, Or loose the bands of Orion?

asv@Job:38:32 @Canst thou lead forth the Mazzaroth in their season? Or canst thou guide the Bear with her train?

asv@Job:38:33 @Knowest thou the ordinances of the heavens? Canst thou establish the dominion thereof in the earth?

asv@Job:38:34 @Canst thou lift up thy voice to the clouds, That abundance of waters may cover thee?

asv@Job:38:35 @Canst thou send forth lightnings, that they may go, And say unto thee, Here we are?

asv@Job:38:36 @Who hath put wisdom in the inward parts? Or who hath given understanding to the mind?

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

asv@Job:38:38 @When the dust runneth into a mass, And the clods cleave fast together?

asv@Job:38:39 @Canst thou hunt the prey for the lioness, Or satisfy the appetite of the young lions,

asv@Job:38:40 @When they couch in their dens, And abide in the covert to lie in wait?

asv@Job:38:41 @Who provideth for the raven his prey, When his young ones cry unto God, And wander for lack of food?
