Job:38
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Then the LORD answered Job out of the whirlwind ca #
ar #,
and said ,
*
Who is this that darkeneth counsel by words without knowledge da #
ath #?
*
Gird up now thy loins like a man ;
for I will demand of thee ,
and answer thou me .
*
Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth ?
declare ,
if thou hast understanding .
*
Who hath laid the measures thereof ,
if thou knowest ?
or who hath stretched the line upon it ?
*
Whereupon are the foundations thereof fastened ?
or who laid the corner stone thereof ;
*
When the morning stars sang together ,
and all the sons of God shouted for joy ?
*
Or who shut up the sea with doors ,
when it brake forth ,
as if it had issued out of the womb ?
*
When I made the cloud the garment thereof ,
and thick darkness a swaddlingband for it ,
*
And brake up for it my decreed place ,
and set bars and doors ,
*
And said ,
Hitherto #
H6311shalt thou come ,
but no further :
and here shall thy proud waves be stayed ?
*
Hast thou commanded the morning since thy days ;
and caused the dayspring to know his place ;
*
That it might take hold of the ends of the earth ,
that the wicked might be shaken out of it ?
*
It is turned as clay to the seal ;
and they stand as a garment .
*
And from the wicked their light is withholden ,
and the high arm shall be broken .
*
Hast thou entered into the springs of the sea ?
or hast thou walked in the search of the depth ?
*
Have the gates of death been opened unto thee ?
or hast thou seen the doors of the shadow of death ?
*
Hast thou perceived the breadth of the earth ?
declare if thou knowest it all .
*
Where is the way where light dwelleth ?
and as for darkness ,
where is the place thereof ,
*
That thou shouldest take it to the bound thereof ,
and that thou shouldest know the paths to the house thereof ?
*
Knowest thou it ,
because thou wast then born ?
or because the number of thy days is great ?
*
Hast thou entered into the treasures of the snow ?
or hast thou seen the treasures of the hail ,
*
Which I have reserved against the time of trouble ,
against the day of battle and war ?
*
By what way is the light parted ,
which scattereth the east wind upon the earth ?
*
Who hath divided a watercourse for the overflowing of waters ,
or a way for the lightning of thunder ;
*
To cause it to rain on the earth ,
where no man is ;
on the wilderness ,
wherein there is no man ;
*
To satisfy the desolate and waste ground ;
and to cause the bud of the tender herb to spring forth ?
*
Hath the rain a father ?
or who hath begotten the drops of dew ?
*
Out of whose womb came the ice ?
and the hoary frost of heaven ,
who hath gendered it ?
*
The waters are hid as with a stone ,
and the face of the deep is frozen .
*
Canst thou bind the sweet influences of Pleiades ,
or loose the bands of Orion ?
*
Canst thou bring forth Mazzaroth in his season ?
or canst thou guide Arcturus with his sons ?
*
Knowest thou the ordinances of heaven ?
canst thou set the dominion thereof in the earth ?
*
Canst thou lift up thy voice to the clouds ,
that abundance of waters may cover thee ?
*
Canst thou send lightnings ,
that they may go ,
and say unto thee ,
Here we are ?
*
Who hath put wisdom in the inward parts ?
or who hath given understanding to the heart ?
*
Who can number the clouds in wisdom ?
or who can stay the bottles of heaven ,
*
When the dust groweth into hardness ,
and the clods cleave fast together ?
*
Wilt thou hunt the prey for the lion ?
or fill the appetite of the young lions ,
*
When they couch in their dens m @#
ownah #,
and abide in the covert to lie in wait ?
*
Who provideth for the raven his food ?
when his young ones cry unto God ,
they wander for lack of meat .
