 38:1  Then the LORD answered Job out of the whirlwind, and
said,
 38:2  Who [is] this that darkeneth counsel by words without
knowledge?
 38:3  Gird up now thy loins like a man; for I will demand of
thee, and answer thou me.
 38:4  Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the
earth? declare, if thou hast understanding.
 38:5  Who hath laid the measures thereof, if thou knowest? or
who hath stretched the line upon it?
 38:6  Whereupon are the foundations thereof fastened? or who
laid the corner stone thereof;
 38:7  When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons
of God shouted for joy?
 38:8  Or [who] shut up the sea with doors, when it brake
forth, [as if] it had issued out of the womb?
 38:9  When I made the cloud the garment thereof, and thick
darkness a swaddlingband for it,
 38:10  And brake up for it my decreed [place], and set bars
and doors,
 38:11  And said, Hitherto shalt thou come, but no further: and
here shall thy proud waves be stayed?
 38:12  Hast thou commanded the morning since thy days; [and]
caused the dayspring to know his place;
 38:13  That it might take hold of the ends of the earth, that
the wicked might be shaken out of it?
 38:14  It is turned as clay [to] the seal; and they stand as a
garment.
 38:15  And from the wicked their light is withholden, and the
high arm shall be broken.
 38:16  Hast thou entered into the springs of the sea? or hast
thou walked in the search of the depth?
 38:17  Have the gates of death been opened unto thee? or hast
thou seen the doors of the shadow of death?
 38:18  Hast thou perceived the breadth of the earth? declare
if thou knowest it all.
 38:19  Where [is] the way [where] light dwelleth? and [as for]
darkness, where [is] the place thereof,
 38:20  That thou shouldest take it to the bound thereof, and
that thou shouldest know the paths [to] the house thereof?
 38:21  Knowest thou [it], because thou wast then born? or
[because] the number of thy days [is] great?
 38:22  Hast thou entered into the treasures of the snow? or
hast thou seen the treasures of the hail,
 38:23  Which I have reserved against the time of trouble,
against the day of battle and war?
 38:24  By what way is the light parted, [which] scattereth the
east wind upon the earth?
 38:25  Who hath divided a watercourse for the overflowing of
waters, or a way for the lightning of thunder;
 38:26  To cause it to rain on the earth, [where] no man [is;
on] the wilderness, wherein [there is] no man;
 38:27  To satisfy the desolate and waste [ground]; and to
cause the bud of the tender herb to spring forth?
 38:28  Hath the rain a father? or who hath begotten the drops
of dew?
 38:29  Out of whose womb came the ice? and the hoary frost of
heaven, who hath gendered it?
 38:30  The waters are hid as [with] a stone, and the face of
the deep is frozen.
 38:31  Canst thou bind the sweet influences of Pleiades, or
loose the bands of Orion?
 38:32  Canst thou bring forth Mazzaroth in his season? or
canst thou guide Arcturus with his sons?
 38:33  Knowest thou the ordinances of heaven? canst thou set
the dominion thereof in the earth?
 38:34  Canst thou lift up thy voice to the clouds, that
abundance of waters may cover thee?
 38:35  Canst thou send lightnings, that they may go, and say
unto thee, Here we [are]?
 38:36  Who hath put wisdom in the inward parts? or who hath
given understanding to the heart?
 38:37  Who can number the clouds in wisdom? or who can stay
the bottles of heaven,
 38:38  When the dust groweth into hardness, and the clods
cleave fast together?
 38:39  Wilt thou hunt the prey for the lion? or fill the
appetite of the young lions,
 38:40  When they couch in [their] dens, [and] abide in the
covert to lie in wait?
 38:41  Who provideth for the raven his food? when his young
ones cry unto God, they wander for lack of meat.
