drb Job:38
drb@Job:38:1 @Then the Lord answered Job out of a whirlwind, and said:
drb@Job:38:2 @Who is this that wrappeth up sentences in unskillful words?
drb@Job:38:3 @Gird up thy loins like a man: I will ask thee, and answer thou me.
drb@Job:38:4 @Where wast thou when I laid up the foundations of the earth? tell me if thou hast understanding.
drb@Job:38:5 @Who hath laid the measures thereof, if thou knowest? or who hath stretched the line upon it?
drb@Job:38:6 @Upon what are its bases grounded? or who laid the corner stone thereof,
drb@Job:38:7 @When the morning stars praised me together, and all the sons of God made a joyful melody?
drb@Job:38:8 @Who shut up the sea with doors, when it broke forth as issuing out of the womb:
drb@Job:38:9 @when I made a cloud the garment thereof, and wrapped it in a mist as in swaddling bands?
drb@Job:38:10 @I set my bounds around it, and made it bars and doors:
drb@Job:38:11 @And I said: Hitherto thou shalt come, and shalt go no further, and here thou shalt break thy swelling waves.
drb@Job:38:12 @Didst thou since thy birth command the morning, and shew the dawning of the day its place?
drb@Job:38:13 @And didst thou hold the extremities of the earth shaking them, and hast thou shaken the ungodly out of it?
drb@Job:38:14 @The seal shall be restored as clay, and shall stand as a garment:
drb@Job:38:15 @From the wicked their light shall be taken away, and the high arm shall be broken.
drb@Job:38:16 @Hast thou entered into the depths of the sea, and walked in the lowest parts of the deep?
drb@Job:38:17 @Have the gates of death been opened to thee, and hast thou seen the darksome doors?
drb@Job:38:18 @Hast thou considered the breadth of the earth? tell me, if thou knowest all things?
drb@Job:38:19 @Where is the way where light dwelleth, and where is the place of darkness:
drb@Job:38:20 @That thou mayst bring every thing to its own bounds, and understand the paths of the house thereof.
drb@Job:38:21 @Didst thou know then that thou shouldst be born? and didst thou know the number of thy days?
drb@Job:38:22 @Hast thou entered into the storehouses of the snow, or has thou beheld the treasures of the hail:
drb@Job:38:23 @Which I have prepared for the time of the enemy, against the day of battle and war?
drb@Job:38:24 @By what way is the light spread, and heat divided upon the earth?
drb@Job:38:25 @Who gave a course to violent showers, or a way for noisy thunder:
drb@Job:38:26 @That it should rain on the earth without man in the wilderness, where no mortal dwelleth:
drb@Job:38:27 @That it should fill the desert and desolate land, and should bring forth green grass?
drb@Job:38:28 @Who is the father of rain? or who begot the drops of dew?
drb@Job:38:29 @Out of whose womb came the ice; and the frost from heaven who hath gendered it?
drb@Job:38:30 @The waters are hardened like a stone, and the surface of the deep is congealed.
drb@Job:38:31 @Shalt thou be able to join together the shining stars the Pleiades, or canst thou stop the turning about of Arcturus?
drb@Job:38:32 @Canst thou bring forth the day star in its time, and make the evening star to rise upon the children of the earth?
drb@Job:38:33 @Dost thou know the order of heaven, and canst thou set down the reason thereof on the earth?
drb@Job:38:34 @Canst thou lift up thy voice to the clouds, that an abundance of waters may cover thee?
drb@Job:38:35 @Canst thou send lightnings, and will they go, and will they return and say to thee: Here we are?
drb@Job:38:36 @Who hath put wisdom in the heart of man? or who gave the cock understanding?
drb@Job:38:37 @Who can declare the order of the heavens, or who can make the harmony of heaven to sleep?
drb@Job:38:38 @When was the dust poured on the earth, and the clods fastened together?
drb@Job:38:39 @Wilt thou take the prey for the lioness, and satisfy the appetite of her whelps,
drb@Job:38:40 @When they couch in the dens and lie in wait in holes?
drb@Job:38:41 @Who provideth food for the raven, when her young ones cry to God, wandering about, because they have no meat?
