nkjv@Job:38:4 @ "Where were you when I laid the foundations of the earth? Tell Me, if you have understanding.
nkjv@Job:38:5 @ Who determined its measurements? Surely you know! Or who stretched the line upon it?
nkjv@Job:38:6 @ To what were its foundations fastened? Or who laid its cornerstone,
nkjv@Job:38:7 @ When the morning stars sang together, And all the sons of God shouted for joy?
nkjv@Job:38:8 @ "Or who shut in the sea with doors, When it burst forth and issued from the womb;
nkjv@Job:38:9 @ When I made the clouds its garment, And thick darkness its swaddling band;
nkjv@Job:38:10 @ When I fixed My limit for it, And set bars and doors;
nkjv@Job:38:11 @ When I said, "This far you may come, but no farther, And here your proud waves must stop!'
nkjv@Job:38:12 @ "Have you commanded the morning since your days began, And caused the dawn to know its place,
nkjv@Job:38:13 @ That it might take hold of the ends of the earth, And the wicked be shaken out of it?
nkjv@Job:38:14 @ It takes on form like clay under a seal, And stands out like a garment.
nkjv@Job:38:15 @ From the wicked their light is withheld, And the upraised arm is broken.
nkjv@Job:38:16 @ "Have you entered the springs of the sea? Or have you walked in search of the depths?
nkjv@Job:38:17 @ Have the gates of death been revealed to you? Or have you seen the doors of the shadow of death?
nkjv@Job:38:18 @ Have you comprehended the breadth of the earth? Tell Me, if you know all this.
nkjv@Job:38:19 @ "Where is the way to the dwelling of light? And darkness, where is its place,
nkjv@Job:38:20 @ That you may take it to its territory, That you may know the paths to its home?
nkjv@Job:38:21 @ Do you know it, because you were born then, Or because the number of your days is great?
nkjv@Job:38:22 @ "Have you entered the treasury of snow, Or have you seen the treasury of hail,
nkjv@Job:38:23 @ Which I have reserved for the time of trouble, For the day of battle and war?
nkjv@Job:38:24 @ By what way is light diffused, Or the east wind scattered over the earth?
nkjv@Job:38:25 @ "Who has divided a channel for the overflowing water, Or a path for the thunderbolt,
nkjv@Job:38:26 @ To cause it to rain on a land where there is no one, A wilderness in which there is no man;
nkjv@Job:38:27 @ To satisfy the desolate waste, And cause to spring forth the growth of tender grass?
nkjv@Job:38:28 @ Has the rain a father? Or who has begotten the drops of dew?
nkjv@Job:38:29 @ From whose womb comes the ice? And the frost of heaven, who gives it birth?
nkjv@Job:38:30 @ The waters harden like stone, And the surface of the deep is frozen.
nkjv@Job:38:31 @ "Can you bind the cluster of the Pleiades, Or loose the belt of Orion?
nkjv@Job:38:32 @ Can you bring out Mazzaroth in its season? Or can you guide the Great Bear with its cubs?
nkjv@Job:38:33 @ Do you know the ordinances of the heavens? Can you set their dominion over the earth?
nkjv@Job:38:34 @ "Can you lift up your voice to the clouds, That an abundance of water may cover you?
nkjv@Job:38:35 @ Can you send out lightnings, that they may go, And say to you, "Here we are!'?
nkjv@Job:38:36 @ Who has put wisdom in the mind? Or who has given understanding to the heart?
nkjv@Job:38:37 @ Who can number the clouds by wisdom? Or who can pour out the bottles of heaven,
nkjv@Job:38:38 @ When the dust hardens in clumps, And the clods cling together?
