Job:38:1 @
Then Jehovah answered Job out of the whirlwind ,
and said ,
asv @
Job:38:2 @
Who is this that darkeneth counsel By words without knowledge ?
asv @
Job:38:3 @
Gird up now thy loins like a man ;
For I will demand of thee ,
and declare thou unto me .
asv @
Job:38:4 @
Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth ?
Declare ,
if thou hast understanding .
asv @
Job:38:5 @
Who determined the measures thereof ,
if thou knowest ?
Or who stretched the line upon it ?
asv @
Job:38:6 @
Whereupon were the foundations thereof fastened ?
Or who laid the corner-stone thereof ,
asv @
Job:38:7 @
When the morning stars sang together ,
And all the sons of God shouted for joy ?
asv @
Job:38:8 @
Or who shut up the sea with doors ,
When it brake forth ,
as if it had issued out of the womb ;
asv @
Job:38:9 @
When I made clouds the garment thereof ,
And thick darkness a swaddling-band for it ,
asv @
Job:38:10 @
And marked out for it my bound ,
And set bars and doors ,
asv @
Job:38:11 @
And said ,
Hitherto shalt thou come ,
but no further ;
And here shall thy proud waves be stayed ?
asv @
Job:38:12 @
Hast thou commanded the morning since thy days began ,
And caused the dayspring to know its place ;
asv @
Job:38:13 @
That it might take hold of the ends of the earth ,
And the wicked be shaken out of it ?
asv @
Job:38:14 @
It is changed as clay under the seal ;
And all things stand forth as a garment :
asv @
Job:38:15 @
And from the wicked their light is withholden ,
And the high arm is broken .
asv @
Job:38:16 @
Hast thou entered into the springs of the sea ?
Or hast thou walked in the recesses of the deep ?
asv @
Job:38:17 @
Have the gates of death been revealed unto thee ?
Or hast thou seen the gates of the shadow of death ?
asv @
Job:38:18 @
Hast thou comprehended the earth in its breadth ?
Declare ,
if thou knowest it all .
asv @
Job:38:19 @
Where is the way to the dwelling of light ?
And as for darkness ,
where is the place thereof ,
asv @
Job:38:20 @
That thou shouldest take it to the bound thereof ,
And that thou shouldest discern the paths to the house thereof ?
asv @
Job:38:21 @
Doubtless ,
thou knowest ,
for thou wast then born ,
And the number of thy days is great !
asv @
Job:38:22 @
Hast thou entered the treasuries of the snow ,
Or hast thou seen the treasures of the hail ,
asv @
Job:38:23 @
Which I have reserved against the time of trouble ,
Against the day of battle and war ?
asv @
Job:38:24 @
By what way is the light parted ,
Or the east wind scattered upon the earth ?
asv @
Job:38:25 @
Who hath cleft a channel for the waterflood ,
Or the way for the lightning of the thunder ;
asv @
Job:38:26 @
To cause it to rain on a land where no man is ;
On the wilderness ,
wherein there is no man ;
asv @
Job:38:27 @
To satisfy the waste and desolate ground ,
And to cause the tender grass to spring forth ?
asv @
Job:38:28 @
Hath the rain a father ?
Or who hath begotten the drops of dew ?
asv @
Job:38:29 @
Out of whose womb came the ice ?
And the hoary frost of heaven ,
who hath gendered it ?
asv @
Job:38:30 @
The waters hide themselves and become like stone ,
And the face of the deep is frozen .
asv @
Job:38:31 @
Canst thou bind the cluster of the Pleiades ,
Or loose the bands of Orion ?
asv @
Job:38:32 @
Canst thou lead forth the Mazzaroth in their season ?
Or canst thou guide the Bear with her train ?
asv @
Job:38:33 @
Knowest thou the ordinances of the heavens ?
Canst thou establish the dominion thereof in the earth ?
asv @
Job:38:34 @
Canst thou lift up thy voice to the clouds ,
That abundance of waters may cover thee ?
asv @
Job:38:35 @
Canst thou send forth lightnings ,
that they may go ,
And say unto thee ,
Here we are ?
asv @
Job:38:36 @
Who hath put wisdom in the inward parts ?
Or who hath given understanding to the mind ?
asv @
Job:38:37 @
Who can number the clouds by wisdom ?
Or who can pour out the bottles of heaven ,
asv @
Job:38:38 @
When the dust runneth into a mass ,
And the clods cleave fast together ?
asv @
Job:38:39 @
Canst thou hunt the prey for the lioness ,
Or satisfy the appetite of the young lions ,
asv @
Job:38:40 @
When they couch in their dens ,
And abide in the covert to lie in wait ?
asv @
Job:38:41 @
Who provideth for the raven his prey ,
When his young ones cry unto God ,
And wander for lack of food ?
asv @
Job:39:1 @
Knowest thou the time when the wild goats of the rock bring forth ?
Or canst thou mark when the hinds do calve ?
asv @
Job:39:2 @
Canst thou number the months that they fulfil ?
Or knowest thou the time when they bring forth ?
asv @
Job:39:3 @
They bow themselves ,
they bring forth their young ,
They cast out their pains .
asv @
Job:39:4 @
Their young ones become strong ,
they grow up in the open field ;
They go forth ,
and return not again .
asv @
Job:39:5 @
Who hath sent out the wild ass free ?
Or who hath loosed the bonds of the swift ass ,
asv @
Job:39:6 @
Whose home I have made the wilderness ,
And the salt land his dwelling-place ?
asv @
Job:39:7 @
He scorneth the tumult of the city ,
Neither heareth he the shoutings of the driver .
asv @
Job:39:8 @
The range of the mountains is his pasture ,
And he searcheth after every green thing .
asv @
Job:39:9 @
Will the wild-ox be content to serve thee ?
Or will he abide by thy crib ?
asv @
Job:39:10 @
Canst thou bind the wild-ox with his band in the furrow ?
Or will he harrow the valleys after thee ?
asv @
Job:39:11 @
Wilt thou trust him ,
because his strength is great ?
Or wilt thou leave to him thy labor ?
asv @
Job:39:12 @
Wilt thou confide in him ,
that he will bring home thy seed ,
And gather the grain of thy threshing-floor ?
asv @
Job:39:13 @
The wings of the ostrich wave proudly ;
But are they the pinions and plumage of love ?
asv @
Job:39:14 @
For she leaveth her eggs on the earth ,
And warmeth them in the dust ,
asv @
Job:39:15 @
And forgetteth that the foot may crush them ,
Or that the wild beast may trample them .
asv @
Job:39:16 @
She dealeth hardly with her young ones ,
as if they were not hers :
Though her labor be in vain ,
she is without fear ;
asv @
Job:39:17 @
Because God hath deprived her of wisdom ,
Neither hath he imparted to her understanding .
asv @
Job:39:18 @
What time she lifteth up herself on high ,
She scorneth the horse and his rider .
asv @
Job:39:19 @
Hast thou given the horse his might ?
Hast thou clothed his neck with the quivering mane ?
asv @
Job:39:20 @
Hast thou made him to leap as a locust ?
The glory of his snorting is terrible .
asv @
Job:39:21 @
He paweth in the valley ,
and rejoiceth in his strength :
He goeth out to meet the armed men .
asv @
Job:39:22 @
He mocketh at fear ,
and is not dismayed ;
Neither turneth he back from the sword .
asv @
Job:39:23 @
The quiver rattleth against him ,
The flashing spear and the javelin .
asv @
Job:39:24 @
He swalloweth the ground with fierceness and rage ;
Neither believeth he that it is the voice of the trumpet .
asv @
Job:39:25 @
As oft as the trumpet soundeth he saith ,
Aha !
And he smelleth the battle afar off ,
The thunder of the captains ,
and the shouting .
asv @
Job:39:26 @
Is it by thy wisdom that the hawk soareth , (
And )
stretcheth her wings toward the south ?
asv @
Job:39:27 @
Is it at thy command that the eagle mounteth up ,
And maketh her nest on high ?
asv @
Job:39:28 @
On the cliff she dwelleth ,
and maketh her home ,
Upon the point of the cliff ,
and the stronghold .
asv @
Job:39:29 @
From thence she spieth out the prey ;
Her eyes behold it afar off .
asv @
Job:39:30 @
Her young ones also suck up blood :
And where the slain are ,
there is she .
asv @
Job:40:1 @
Moreover Jehovah answered Job ,
and said ,
asv @
Job:40:2 @
Shall he that cavilleth contend with the Almighty ?
He that argueth with God ,
let him answer it .
asv @
Job:40:3 @
Then Job answered Jehovah ,
and said ,
asv @
Job:40:4 @
Behold ,
I am of small account ;
What shall I answer thee ?
I lay my hand upon my mouth .
asv @
Job:40:5 @
Once have I spoken ,
and I will not answer ;
Yea ,
twice ,
but I will proceed no further .
asv @
Job:40:6 @
Then Jehovah answered Job out of the whirlwind ,
and said ,
asv @
Job:40:7 @
Gird up thy loins now like a man :
I will demand of thee ,
and declare thou unto me .
asv @
Job:40:8 @
Wilt thou even annul my judgment ?
Wilt thou condemn me ,
that thou mayest be justified ?
asv @
Job:40:9 @
Or hast thou an arm like God ?
And canst thou thunder with a voice like him ?
asv @
Job:40:10 @
Deck thyself now with excellency and dignity ;
And array thyself with honor and majesty .
asv @
Job:40:11 @
Pour forth the overflowings of thine anger ;
And look upon every one that is proud ,
and abase him .
asv @
Job:40:12 @
Look on every one that is proud ,
and bring him low ;
And tread down the wicked where they stand .
asv @
Job:40:13 @
Hide them in the dust together ;
Bind their faces in the hidden place .
asv @
Job:40:14 @
Then will I also confess of thee That thine own right hand can save thee .
asv @
Job:40:15 @
Behold now ,
behemoth ,
which I made as well as thee ;
He eateth grass as an ox .
asv @
Job:40:16 @
Lo now ,
his strength is in his loins ,
And his force is in the muscles of his belly .
asv @
Job:40:17 @
He moveth his tail like a cedar :
The sinews of his thighs are knit together .
asv @
Job:40:18 @
His bones are as tubes of brass ;
His limbs are like bars of iron .
asv @
Job:40:19 @
He is the chief of the ways of God :
He only that made him giveth him his sword .
asv @
Job:40:20 @
Surely the mountains bring him forth food ,
Where all the beasts of the field do play .
asv @
Job:40:21 @
He lieth under the lotus-trees ,
In the covert of the reed ,
and the fen .
asv @
Job:40:22 @
The lotus-trees cover him with their shade ;
The willows of the brook compass him about .
asv @
Job:40:23 @
Behold ,
if a river overflow ,
he trembleth not ;
He is confident ,
though a Jordan swell even to his mouth .
asv @
Job:40:24 @
Shall any take him when he is on the watch ,
Or pierce through his nose with a snare ?
asv @
Job:41:1 @
Canst thou draw out leviathan with a fishhook ?
Or press down his tongue with a cord ?
asv @
Job:41:2 @
Canst thou put a rope into his nose ?
Or pierce his jaw through with a hook ?
asv @
Job:41:3 @
Will he make many supplications unto thee ?
Or will he speak soft words unto thee ?
asv @
Job:41:4 @
Will he make a covenant with thee ,
That thou shouldest take him for a servant for ever ?
asv @
Job:41:5 @
Wilt thou play with him as with a bird ?
Or wilt thou bind him for thy maidens ?
asv @
Job:41:6 @
Will the bands of fishermen make traffic of him ?
Will they part him among the merchants ?
asv @
Job:41:7 @
Canst thou fill his skin with barbed irons ,
Or his head with fish-spears ?
asv @
Job:41:8 @
Lay thy hand upon him ;
Remember the battle ,
and do so no more .
asv @
Job:41:9 @
Behold ,
the hope of him is in vain :
Will not one be cast down even at the sight of him ?
asv @
Job:41:10 @
None is so fierce that he dare stir him up ;
Who then is he that can stand before me ?
asv @
Job:41:11 @
Who hath first given unto me ,
that I should repay him ?
Whatsoever is under the whole heaven is mine .
asv @
Job:41:12 @
I will not keep silence concerning his limbs ,
Nor his mighty strength ,
nor his goodly frame .
asv @
Job:41:13 @
Who can strip off his outer garment ?
Who shall come within his jaws ?
asv @
Job:41:14 @
Who can open the doors of his face ?
Round about his teeth is terror .
asv @
Job:41:15 @
His strong scales are his pride ,
Shut up together as with a close seal .
asv @
Job:41:16 @
One is so near to another ,
That no air can come between them .
asv @
Job:41:17 @
They are joined one to another ;
They stick together ,
so that they cannot be sundered .
asv @
Job:41:18 @
His sneezings flash forth light ,
And his eyes are like the eyelids of the morning .
asv @
Job:41:19 @
Out of his mouth go burning torches ,
And sparks of fire leap forth .
asv @
Job:41:20 @
Out of his nostrils a smoke goeth ,
As of a boiling pot and burning rushes .
asv @
Job:41:21 @
His breath kindleth coals ,
And a flame goeth forth from his mouth .
asv @
Job:41:22 @
In his neck abideth strength ,
And terror danceth before him .
asv @
Job:41:23 @
The flakes of his flesh are joined together :
They are firm upon him ;
they cannot be moved .
asv @
Job:41:24 @
His heart is as firm as a stone ;
Yea ,
firm as the nether millstone .
asv @
Job:41:25 @
When he raiseth himself up ,
the mighty are afraid :
By reason of consternation they are beside themselves .
asv @
Job:41:26 @
If one lay at him with the sword ,
it cannot avail ;
Nor the spear ,
the dart ,
nor the pointed shaft .
asv @
Job:41:27 @
He counteth iron as straw ,
And brass as rotten wood .
asv @
Job:41:28 @
The arrow cannot make him flee :
Sling-stones are turned with him into stubble .
asv @
Job:41:29 @
Clubs are counted as stubble :
He laugheth at the rushing of the javelin .
asv @
Job:41:30 @
His underparts are like sharp potsherds :
He spreadeth as it were a threshing-wain upon the mire .
asv @
Job:41:31 @
He maketh the deep to boil like a pot :
He maketh the sea like a pot of ointment .
asv @
Job:41:32 @
He maketh a path to shine after him ;
One would think the deep to be hoary .
asv @
Job:41:33 @
Upon earth there is not his like ,
That is made without fear .
asv @
Job:41:34 @
He beholdeth everything that is high :
He is king over all the sons of pride .
asv @
Job:42:1 @
Then Job answered Jehovah ,
and said ,
