kjv - Job:38-41

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

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

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

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

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

kjv@Job:38:6 @ Whereupon are the foundations thereof fastened? or who laid the corner stone thereof;

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

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

kjv@Job:38:9 @ When I made the cloud the garment thereof, and thick darkness a swaddlingband for it,

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

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

kjv@Job:38:12 @ Hast thou commanded the morning since thy days; and caused the dayspring to know his place;

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

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

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

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

kjv@Job:38:17 @ Have the gates of death been opened unto thee? or hast thou seen the doors of the shadow of death?

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

kjv@Job:38:33 @ Knowest thou the ordinances of heaven? canst thou set the dominion thereof in the earth?

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

kjv@Job:38:41 @ Who provideth for the raven his food? when his young ones cry unto God, they wander for lack of meat.

kjv@Job:39:1 @ Knowest thou the time when the wild goats of the rock bring forth? or canst thou mark when the hinds do calve?

kjv@Job:39:2 @ Canst thou number the months that they fulfil? or knowest thou the time when they bring forth?

kjv@Job:39:3 @ They bow themselves, they bring forth their young ones, they cast out their sorrows.

kjv@Job:39:4 @ Their young ones are in good liking, they grow up with corn; they go forth, and return not unto them.

kjv@Job:39:5 @ Who hath sent out the wild ass free? or who hath loosed the bands of the wild ass?

kjv@Job:39:6 @ Whose house I have made the wilderness, and the barren land his dwellings.

kjv@Job:39:7 @ He scorneth the multitude of the city, neither regardeth he the crying of the driver.

kjv@Job:39:8 @ The range of the mountains is his pasture, and he searcheth after every green thing.

kjv@Job:39:9 @ Will the unicorn be willing to serve thee, or abide by thy crib?

kjv@Job:39:10 @ Canst thou bind the unicorn with his band in the furrow? or will he harrow the valleys after thee?

kjv@Job:39:11 @ Wilt thou trust him, because his strength is great? or wilt thou leave thy labour to him?

kjv@Job:39:12 @ Wilt thou believe him, that he will bring home thy seed, and gather it into thy barn?

kjv@Job:39:13 @ Gavest thou the goodly wings unto the peacocks? or wings and feathers unto the ostrich?

kjv@Job:39:14 @ Which leaveth her eggs in the earth, and warmeth them in dust,

kjv@Job:39:15 @ And forgetteth that the foot may crush them, or that the wild beast may break them.

kjv@Job:39:16 @ She is hardened against her young ones, as though they were not hers: her labour is in vain without fear;

kjv@Job:39:17 @ Because God hath deprived her of wisdom, neither hath he imparted to her understanding.

kjv@Job:39:18 @ What time she lifteth up herself on high, she scorneth the horse and his rider.

kjv@Job:39:19 @ Hast thou given the horse strength? hast thou clothed his neck with thunder?

kjv@Job:39:20 @ Canst thou make him afraid as a grasshopper? the glory of his nostrils is terrible.

kjv@Job:39:21 @ He paweth in the valley, and rejoiceth in his strength: he goeth on to meet the armed men.

kjv@Job:39:22 @ He mocketh at fear, and is not affrighted; neither turneth he back from the sword.

kjv@Job:39:23 @ The quiver rattleth against him, the glittering spear and the shield.

kjv@Job:39:24 @ He swalloweth the ground with fierceness and rage: neither believeth he that it is the sound of the trumpet.

kjv@Job:39:25 @ He saith among the trumpets, Ha, ha; and he smelleth the battle afar off, the thunder of the captains, and the shouting.

kjv@Job:39:26 @ Doth the hawk fly by thy wisdom, and stretch her wings toward the south?

kjv@Job:39:27 @ Doth the eagle mount up at thy command, and make her nest on high?

kjv@Job:39:28 @ She dwelleth and abideth on the rock, upon the crag of the rock, and the strong place.

kjv@Job:39:29 @ From thence she seeketh the prey, and her eyes behold afar off.

kjv@Job:39:30 @ Her young ones also suck up blood: and where the slain are, there is she.

kjv@Job:40:1 @ Moreover the LORD answered Job, and said,

kjv@Job:40:2 @ Shall he that contendeth with the Almighty instruct him? he that reproveth God, let him answer it.

kjv@Job:40:3 @ Then Job answered the LORD, and said,

kjv@Job:40:4 @ Behold, I am vile; what shall I answer thee? I will lay mine hand upon my mouth.

kjv@Job:40:5 @ Once have I spoken; but I will not answer: yea, twice; but I will proceed no further.

kjv@Job:40:6 @ Then answered the LORD unto Job out of the whirlwind, and said,

kjv@Job:40:7 @ Gird up thy loins now like a man: I will demand of thee, and declare thou unto me.

kjv@Job:40:8 @ Wilt thou also disannul my judgment? wilt thou condemn me, that thou mayest be righteous?

kjv@Job:40:9 @ Hast thou an arm like God? or canst thou thunder with a voice like him?

kjv@Job:40:10 @ Deck thyself now with majesty and excellency; and array thyself with glory and beauty.

kjv@Job:40:11 @ Cast abroad the rage of thy wrath: and behold every one that is proud, and abase him.

kjv@Job:40:12 @ Look on every one that is proud, and bring him low; and tread down the wicked in their place.

kjv@Job:40:13 @ Hide them in the dust together; and bind their faces in secret.

kjv@Job:40:14 @ Then will I also confess unto thee that thine own right hand can save thee.

kjv@Job:40:15 @ Behold now behemoth, which I made with thee; he eateth grass as an ox.

kjv@Job:40:16 @ Lo now, his strength is in his loins, and his force is in the navel of his belly.

kjv@Job:40:17 @ He moveth his tail like a cedar: the sinews of his stones are wrapped together.

kjv@Job:40:18 @ His bones are as strong pieces of brass; his bones are like bars of iron.

kjv@Job:40:19 @ He is the chief of the ways of God: he that made him can make his sword to approach unto him.

kjv@Job:40:20 @ Surely the mountains bring him forth food, where all the beasts of the field play.

kjv@Job:40:21 @ He lieth under the shady trees, in the covert of the reed, and fens.

kjv@Job:40:22 @ The shady trees cover him with their shadow; the willows of the brook compass him about.

kjv@Job:40:23 @ Behold, he drinketh up a river, and hasteth not: he trusteth that he can draw up Jordan into his mouth.

kjv@Job:40:24 @ He taketh it with his eyes: his nose pierceth through snares.

kjv@Job:41:1 @ Canst thou draw out leviathan with an hook? or his tongue with a cord which thou lettest down?

kjv@Job:41:2 @ Canst thou put an hook into his nose? or bore his jaw through with a thorn?

kjv@Job:41:3 @ Will he make many supplications unto thee? will he speak soft words unto thee?

kjv@Job:41:4 @ Will he make a covenant with thee? wilt thou take him for a servant for ever?

kjv@Job:41:5 @ Wilt thou play with him as with a bird? or wilt thou bind him for thy maidens?

kjv@Job:41:6 @ Shall the companions make a banquet of him? shall they part him among the merchants?

kjv@Job:41:7 @ Canst thou fill his skin with barbed irons? or his head with fish spears?

kjv@Job:41:8 @ Lay thine hand upon him, remember the battle, do no more.

kjv@Job:41:9 @ Behold, the hope of him is in vain: shall not one be cast down even at the sight of him?

kjv@Job:41:10 @ None is so fierce that dare stir him up: who then is able to stand before me?

kjv@Job:41:11 @ Who hath prevented me, that I should repay him? whatsoever is under the whole heaven is mine.

kjv@Job:41:12 @ I will not conceal his parts, nor his power, nor his comely proportion.

kjv@Job:41:13 @ Who can discover the face of his garment? or who can come to him with his double bridle?

kjv@Job:41:14 @ Who can open the doors of his face? his teeth are terrible round about.

kjv@Job:41:15 @ His scales are his pride, shut up together as with a close seal.

kjv@Job:41:16 @ One is so near to another, that no air can come between them.

kjv@Job:41:17 @ They are joined one to another, they stick together, that they cannot be sundered.

kjv@Job:41:18 @ By his neesings a light doth shine, and his eyes are like the eyelids of the morning.

kjv@Job:41:19 @ Out of his mouth go burning lamps, and sparks of fire leap out.

kjv@Job:41:20 @ Out of his nostrils goeth smoke, as out of a seething pot or caldron.

kjv@Job:41:21 @ His breath kindleth coals, and a flame goeth out of his mouth.

kjv@Job:41:22 @ In his neck remaineth strength, and sorrow is turned into joy before him.

kjv@Job:41:23 @ The flakes of his flesh are joined together: they are firm in themselves; they cannot be moved.

kjv@Job:41:24 @ His heart is as firm as a stone; yea, as hard as a piece of the nether millstone.

kjv@Job:41:25 @ When he raiseth up himself, the mighty are afraid: by reason of breakings they purify themselves.

kjv@Job:41:26 @ The sword of him that layeth at him cannot hold: the spear, the dart, nor the habergeon.

kjv@Job:41:27 @ He esteemeth iron as straw, and brass as rotten wood.

kjv@Job:41:28 @ The arrow cannot make him flee: slingstones are turned with him into stubble.

kjv@Job:41:29 @ Darts are counted as stubble: he laugheth at the shaking of a spear.

kjv@Job:41:30 @ Sharp stones are under him: he spreadeth sharp pointed things upon the mire.

kjv@Job:41:31 @ He maketh the deep to boil like a pot: he maketh the sea like a pot of ointment.

kjv@Job:41:32 @ He maketh a path to shine after him; one would think the deep to be hoary.

kjv@Job:41:33 @ Upon earth there is not his like, who is made without fear.

kjv@Job:41:34 @ He beholdeth all high things: he is a king over all the children of pride.

kjv@Job:42:1 @ Then Job answered the LORD, and said,
