rotherham - Job:38

rotherham@Job:38:1 @ Then Yahweh responded to Job, out of a storm, and said:

rotherham@Job:38:2 @ Who is it that darkeneth counsel, by words, without knowledge?

rotherham@Job:38:3 @ Gird, I pray theelike a strong manthy loins, that I may ask thee, and inform thou me:

rotherham@Job:38:4 @ Where wast thou, when I founded the earth? Tell, if thou knowest understanding!

rotherham@Job:38:5 @ Who set the measurements thereof, if thou knowest? Or who stretched out over it a line?

rotherham@Job:38:6 @ Whereon were the pedestals thereof sunk? Or who laid the corner stone thereof;

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

rotherham@Job:38:8 @ Or shut in, with double doors, the sea, when, bursting out of the womb, it came forth;

rotherham@Job:38:9 @ When I put a cloud as the garment thereof, and a thick cloud as the swaddling-band thereof;

rotherham@Job:38:10 @ And brake off for it my boundary, and fixed a bar and double doors;

rotherham@Job:38:11 @ And said Hitherto, shalt thou come, and no further, and, here, shalt thou set a limit to the majesty of thy waves?

rotherham@Job:38:12 @ Since thy days hast thou commanded the morning? or caused the dawn to know its place;

rotherham@Job:38:13 @ That it might lay hold of the wings of the earth, and the lawless be shaken out of it?

rotherham@Job:38:14 @ It transformeth itself like the clay of a seal, so that things stand forth like one arrayed;

rotherham@Job:38:15 @ That their light may be withdrawn from the lawless, and, the lofty arm, be shivered.

rotherham@Job:38:16 @ Hast thou entered as far as the springs of the sea? Or, through the secret recesses of the resounding deep, hast thou wandered?

rotherham@Job:38:17 @ Have the gates of death been disclosed to thee? And, the gates of the death-shade, couldst thou descry?

rotherham@Job:38:18 @ Hast thou well considered, even the breadths of the earth? Tellif thou knowest it all!

rotherham@Job:38:19 @ Where then is the way, the light shall abide? And, the darkness, where then is its place?

rotherham@Job:38:20 @ That thou mayest conduct it unto the bound thereof, and that thou mayest perceive the paths to its house.

rotherham@Job:38:21 @ Thou knowest, for, then, hadst thou been born! And, in number, thy days are many!

rotherham@Job:38:22 @ Hast thou entered into the treasuries of the snow? And, the treasuries of the hail, couldst thou see?

rotherham@Job:38:23 @ Which I have reserved for a time of distress, for the day of conflict and of war?

rotherham@Job:38:24 @ Where then is the way the lightning is parted? The east wind spreadeth itself abroad over the earth.

rotherham@Job:38:25 @ Who hath clovenfor the torrenta channel? Or a way for the lightning of thunders;

rotherham@Job:38:26 @ To give rain over the no-mans land, the desert, where no son of earth is;

rotherham@Job:38:27 @ To satisfy the wild and the wilderness, to cause to spring forth the meadow of young grass?

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

rotherham@Job:38:29 @ Out of whose womb, came forth the ice? And, the hoar-frost of the heavens, who hath given it birth?

rotherham@Job:38:30 @ Like a stone, are the waters congealed, and, the face of the roaring deep, becometh firm!

rotherham@Job:38:31 @ Canst thou bind the fetters of the Pleiades? Or, the bands of Orion, canst thou unloose?

rotherham@Job:38:32 @ Canst thou bring forth the signs of the Zodiac each in its season? Or, the Bear and her Young, canst thou lead?

rotherham@Job:38:33 @ Knowest thou, the statutes of the heavens? Or didst thou appoint his dominion over the earth?

rotherham@Job:38:34 @ Canst thou lift up, to the thick cloud, thy voice, and the overflow of waters cover thee?

rotherham@Job:38:35 @ Canst thou send forth the lightnings, so that they go, and say to thee, Behold us?

rotherham@Job:38:36 @ Who hath putinto cloud-formswisdom? Or who hath givento the meteorunderstanding?

rotherham@Job:38:37 @ Who can count the thin clouds, in wisdom? And, the bottles of the heavens, who can empty out;

rotherham@Job:38:38 @ When the dust is cast into a clod, and the lumps are bound together?

rotherham@Job:38:39 @ Wilt thou huntfor the Lionessprey? Or, the craving of the Strong Lion, wilt thou satisfy;

rotherham@Job:38:40 @ When they settle down in dens, abide in covert, for lying in wait?

rotherham@Job:38:41 @ Who prepareth for the Raven his nourishment, when his young onesunto GODcry out,
