wbs - Job:38

wbs@Job:38:1 @ Then the LORD answered Job out of the whirlwind, and said,

wbs@Job:38:2 @ Who is this that darkeneth counsel by words without knowledge?

wbs@Job:38:3 @ Gird up now thy loins like a man; for I will demand of thee, and answer thou me.

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

wbs@Job:38:5 @ Who hath laid the measures of it, if thou knowest? or who hath stretched the line upon it?

wbs@Job:38:6 @ Upon what are the foundations of it fastened? or who laid its corner stone;

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

wbs@Job:38:8 @ Or who shut up the sea with doors, when it broke forth, as if it had issued out of the womb?

wbs@Job:38:9 @ When I made a cloud its garment, and thick darkness a swaddling band for it,

wbs@Job:38:10 @ And broke up for it my decreed place, and set bars and doors,

wbs@Job:38:11 @ And said, Hitherto shalt thou come, but no further: and here shall thy proud waves be stayed.

wbs@Job:38:12 @ Hast thou commanded the morning since thy days; and caused the day-spring to know its place;

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

wbs@Job:38:14 @ It is turned as clay to the seal; and they stand as a garment.

wbs@Job:38:15 @ And from the wicked their light is withheld, and the high arm shall be broken.

wbs@Job:38:16 @ Hast thou entered into the springs of the sea? or hast thou walked in the search of the depth?

wbs@Job:38:17 @ Have the gates of death been opened to thee? or hast thou seen the doors of the shades of death?

wbs@Job:38:18 @ Hast thou perceived the breadth of the earth? declare if thou knowest it all.

wbs@Job:38:19 @ Where is the way where light dwelleth? and as for darkness, where is its place,

wbs@Job:38:20 @ That thou shouldest take it to its bound, and that thou shouldest know the paths to its house?

wbs@Job:38:21 @ Knowest thou it, because thou wast then born? or because the number of thy days is great?

wbs@Job:38:22 @ Hast thou entered into the treasures of the snow? or hast thou seen the treasures of the hail,

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

wbs@Job:38:24 @ By what way is the light parted, which scattereth the east wind upon the earth?

wbs@Job:38:25 @ Who hath divided a watercourse for the overflowing of waters, or a way for the lightning of thunder;

wbs@Job:38:26 @ To cause it to rain on the earth, where no man is; on the wilderness in which there is no man;

wbs@Job:38:27 @ To satisfy the desolate and waste ground; and to cause the bud of the tender herb to spring forth?

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

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

wbs@Job:38:30 @ The waters are hid as with a stone, and the face of the deep is frozen.

wbs@Job:38:31 @ Canst thou bind the sweet influences of Pleiades, or loose the bands of Orion?

wbs@Job:38:32 @ Canst thou bring forth Mazzaroth in its season? or canst thou guide Arcturus with its sons?

wbs@Job:38:33 @ Knowest thou the ordinances of heaven? canst thou set its dominion on the earth?

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

wbs@Job:38:35 @ Canst thou send lightnings, that they may go, and say to thee, Here we are?

wbs@Job:38:36 @ Who hath put wisdom in the inward parts? or who hath given understanding to the heart?

wbs@Job:38:37 @ Who can number the clouds in wisdom? or who can stay the bottles of heaven,

wbs@Job:38:38 @ When the dust groweth into hardness, and the clods cleave fast together?

wbs@Job:38:39 @ Wilt thou hunt the prey for the lion? or fill the appetite of the young lions,

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

wbs@Job:38:41 @ Who provideth for the raven his food? when his young ones cry to God, they wander for want of food.
