Job:38:4-38

bes@Job:38:4 @ Where wast thou when I founded the earth? tell me now, if thou hast knowledge,

bes@Job:38:5 @ who set the measures of it, if thou knowest? or who stretched a line upon it?

bes@Job:38:6 @ On what are its (note:)Alex. pillars(:note) rings fastened? and who is he that laid the sc. keystone corner-stone upon it?

bes@Job:38:7 @ When the stars were made, all my angels praised me with a loud voice.

bes@Job:38:8 @ And I shut up the sea with gates, when it rushed out, coming forth out its mother’s womb.

bes@Job:38:9 @ And I made a cloud its clothing, and swathed it in mist.

bes@Job:38:10 @ And I set bounds to it, surrounding it with bars and gates.

bes@Job:38:11 @ And I said to it, Hitherto shalt thou come, but thou shalt not go beyond, but thy waves shall be confined within thee.

bes@Job:38:12 @ Or did I order the morning light in thy time; and did the morning star then first see his appointed place;

bes@Job:38:13 @ to lay hold of the extremities of the earth, to (note:)Gr. shake out(:note) cast out the ungodly out of it?

bes@Job:38:14 @ Or didst thou take clay of the ground, and form a living creature, and set (note:)Gr. him, i. e., man; Alex. auto(:note) it with the power of speech upon the earth?

bes@Job:38:15 @ And hast thou removed light from the ungodly, and crushed the arm of the proud?

bes@Job:38:16 @ Or hast thou gone to the source of the sea, and walked in the tracks of the deep?

bes@Job:38:17 @ And do the gates of death open to thee for fear; and did the porters of hell quake when they saw thee?

bes@Job:38:18 @ And hast thou been instructed in the breadth of the whole earth under heaven? tell me now, what is the extent of it?

bes@Job:38:19 @ And in what kind of a land does the light dwell? and of what kind is the place of darkness?

bes@Job:38:20 @ If thou couldest bring me to their utmost boundaries, and if also thou knowest their paths;

bes@Job:38:21 @ I know then that thou wert born at that time, and the number of thy years is great.

bes@Job:38:22 @ But hast thou gone to the treasures of snow? and hast thou seen the treasures of hail?

bes@Job:38:23 @ And is there a store of them, for thee against the time of thine enemies, for the day of wars and battle?

bes@Job:38:24 @ And whence proceeds the frost? or whence is the south wind dispersed over the whole world under heaven?

bes@Job:38:25 @ And who prepared a course for the violent rain, and a way for the (note:)Gr. tumults(:note) thunders;

bes@Job:38:26 @ to rain upon the land where there is no man, the wilderness, where there is not a man in it; so as to feed the untrodden and uninhabited land,

bes@Job:38:27 @ and cause it to send forth a crop of green herbs?

bes@Job:38:28 @ Who is the rain’s father? and who has generated the drops of dew?

bes@Job:38:29 @ And out of whose womb comes the ice? and who has produced the frost in the sky,

bes@Job:38:30 @ which descends like flowing water? who has terrified the face of the ungodly?

bes@Job:38:31 @ And dost thou understand the band of Pleias, and hast thou opened the barrier of Orion?

bes@Job:38:32 @ Or wilt thou reveal Mazuroth in his season, and the evening star with his rays? Wilt thou guide them?

bes@Job:38:33 @ And knowest thou the changes of heaven, or the events which take place together under heaven?

bes@Job:38:34 @ And wilt thou call a cloud with thy voice, and will it obey thee with a violent shower of much rain?

bes@Job:38:35 @ And wilt thou send lightnings, and they shall go? and shall they say to thee, What is thy pleasure?

bes@Job:38:36 @ And who has given to women skill in weaving, or knowledge of embroidery?

bes@Job:38:37 @ And who is he that numbers the clouds in wisdom, and has bowed the heaven down to the earth?

bes@Job:38:38 @ For it is spread out as (note:)Alex. ghv konia(:note) dusty earth, and I have cemented it as Lit. a cube to a stone one hewn stone to another.
