Job:38:5-21
rsv@Job:38:5 @ Who determined its measurements--surely you know! Or who stretched the line upon it?
rsv@Job:38:6 @ On what were its bases sunk, or who laid its cornerstone,
rsv@Job:38:7 @ when the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy?
rsv@Job:38:8 @ "Or who shut in the sea with doors, when it burst forth from the womb;
rsv@Job:38:9 @ when I made clouds its garment, and thick darkness its swaddling band,
rsv@Job:38:10 @ and prescribed bounds for it, and set bars and doors,
rsv@Job:38:11 @ and said, `d said, "Thus far shall you come, and no farther, and here shall your proud waves be stayed'?
rsv@Job:38:12 @ "Have you commanded the morning since your days began, and caused the dawn to know its place,
rsv@Job:38:13 @ that it might take hold of the skirts of the earth, and the wicked be shaken out of it?
rsv@Job:38:14 @ It is changed like clay under the seal, and it is dyed like a garment.
rsv@Job:38:15 @ From the wicked their light is withheld, and their uplifted arm is broken.
rsv@Job:38:16 @ "Have you entered into the springs of the sea, or walked in the recesses of the deep?
rsv@Job:38:17 @ Have the gates of death been revealed to you, or have you seen the gates of deep darkness?
rsv@Job:38:18 @ Have you comprehended the expanse of the earth? Declare, if you know all this.
rsv@Job:38:19 @ "Where is the way to the dwelling of light, and where is the place of darkness,
rsv@Job:38:20 @ that you may take it to its territory and that you may discern the paths to its home?
rsv@Job:38:21 @ You know, for you were born then, and the number of your days is great!
