web - Job:38

web@Job:38:1 @Then Yahweh answered Job out of the whirlwind,

web@Job:38:2 @"Who is this who darkens counsel by words without knowledge?

web@Job:38:3 @Brace yourself like a man, for I will question you, then you answer me!

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

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

web@Job:38:6 @Whereupon were its foundations fastened? Or who laid its cornerstone,

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

web@Job:38:8 @"Or who shut up the sea with doors, when it broke forth from the womb,

web@Job:38:9 @when I made clouds its garment, and wrapped it in thick darkness,

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

web@Job:38:11 @and said, 'Here you may come, but no further. Here your proud waves shall be stayed?'

web@Job:38:12 @"Have you commanded the morning in your days, and caused the dawn to know its place;

web@Job:38:13 @that it might take hold of the ends of the earth, and shake the wicked out of it?

web@Job:38:14 @It is changed as clay under the seal, and stands forth as a garment.

web@Job:38:15 @From the wicked, their light is withheld. The high arm is broken.

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

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

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

web@Job:38:19 @"What is the way to the dwelling of light? As for darkness, where is its place,

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

web@Job:38:21 @Surely you know, for you were born then, and the number of your days is great!

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

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

web@Job:38:24 @By what way is the lightning distributed, or the east wind scattered on the earth?

web@Job:38:25 @Who has cut a channel for the flood water, or the path for the thunderstorm;

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

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

web@Job:38:28 @Does the rain have a father? Or who fathers the drops of dew?

web@Job:38:29 @Out of whose womb came the ice? The gray frost of the sky, who has given birth to it?

web@Job:38:30 @The waters become hard like stone, when the surface of the deep is frozen.

web@Job:38:31 @"Can you bind the cluster of the Pleiades, or loosen the cords of Orion?

web@Job:38:32 @Can you lead forth the constellations in their season? Or can you guide the Bear with her cubs?

web@Job:38:33 @Do you know the laws of the heavens? Can you establish its dominion over the earth?

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

web@Job:38:35 @Can you send forth lightnings, that they may go? Do they report to you, 'Here we are?'

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

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

web@Job:38:38 @when the dust runs into a mass, and the clods of earth stick together?

web@Job:38:39 @"Can you hunt the prey for the lioness, or satisfy the appetite of the young lions,

web@Job:38:40 @when they crouch in their dens, and lie in wait in the thicket?

web@Job:38:41 @Who provides for the raven his prey, when his young ones cry to God, and wander for lack of food?
