Job 38

1Then Jehovah^H3068 answered^H6030 Job^H347 out of the whirlwind^H5591, and said^H6030, 2Who is this that darkeneth^H2821 counsel^H6098 By words^H4405 without knowledge^H1847? 3Gird up^H247 now thy loins^H2504 like a man^H1397; For I will demand^H7592 of thee, and declare thou unto me. 4Where^H375 wast thou when I laid the foundations^H3245 of the earth^H776? Declare^H5046, if thou hast^H3045 understanding^H998. 5Who determined^H7760 the measures^H4461 thereof, if thou knowest^H3045? Or who stretched^H5186 the line^H6957 upon it? 6Whereupon were the foundations^H134 thereof fastened^H2883? Or who laid^H3384 the corner^H6438-stone^H68 thereof, 7When the morning^H1242 stars^H3556 sang^H7442 together^H3162, And all the sons^H1121 of God^H430 shouted^H7321 for joy? 8Or who shut up^H5526 the sea^H3220 with doors^H1817, When it brake forth^H1518, as if it had issued out^H3318 of the womb^H7358; 9When I made^H7760 clouds^H6051 the garment^H3830 thereof, And thick darkness^H6205 a swaddling-band^H2854 for it, 10And marked^H7665 out for it my bound^H2706, And set^H7760 bars^H1280 and doors^H1817, 11And said^H559, Hitherto^H5704 shalt thou come^H935, but no further^H3254; And here shall thy proud^H1347 waves^H1530 be stayed^H7896? 12Hast thou commanded^H6680 the morning^H1242 since thy days^H3117 began, And caused the dayspring^H7837 to know^H3045 its place^H4725; 13That it might take hold^H270 of the ends^H3671 of the earth^H776, And the wicked^H7563 be shaken out^H5287 of it? 14It is changed^H2015 as clay^H2563 under the seal^H2368; And all things stand^H3320 forth as a garment^H3830: 15And from the wicked^H7563 their light^H216 is withholden^H4513, And the high^H7311 arm^H2220 is broken^H7665. 16Hast thou entered^H935 into the springs^H5033 of the sea^H3220? Or hast thou walked^H1980 in the recesses^H2714 of the deep^H8415? 17Have the gates^H8179 of death^H4194 been revealed^H1540 unto thee? Or hast thou seen^H7200 the gates^H8179 of the shadow of death^H6757? 18Hast thou comprehended^H995 the earth^H776 in its breadth^H7338? Declare^H5046, if thou knowest^H3045 it all. 19Where is the way^H1870 to the dwelling^H7931 of light^H216? And as for darkness^H2822, where is the place^H4725 thereof, 20That thou shouldest take^H3947 it to the bound^H1366 thereof, And that thou shouldest discern^H995 the paths^H5410 to the house^H1004 thereof? 21 Doubtless, thou knowest^H3045, for thou wast then born^H3205, And the number^H4557 of thy days^H3117 is great^H7227! 22Hast thou entered^H935 the treasuries^H214 of the snow^H7950, Or hast thou seen^H7200 the treasures^H214 of the hail^H1259, 23Which I have reserved^H2820 against the time^H6256 of trouble^H6862, Against the day^H3117 of battle^H7128 and war^H4421? 24By what^H335 way^H1870 is the light^H216 parted^H2505, Or the east wind^H6921 scattered^H6327 upon the earth^H776? 25Who hath cleft^H6385 a channel^H8585 for the waterflood^H7858, Or the way^H1870 for the lightning^H2385 of the thunder^H6963; 26To cause it to rain^H4305 on a land^H776 where no man^H376 is; On the wilderness^H4057, wherein there is no man^H120; 27To satisfy^H7646 the waste^H4875 and desolate^H7722 ground, And to cause the tender^H4161 grass^H1877 to spring forth^H6779? 28Hath^H3426 the rain^H4306 a father^H1? Or who hath begotten^H3205 the drops^H96 of dew^H2919? 29Out of whose womb^H990 came^H3318 the ice^H7140? And the hoary frost^H3713 of heaven^H8064, who hath gendered^H3205 it? 30The waters^H4325 hide^H2244 themselves and become like stone^H68, And the face^H6440 of the deep^H8415 is frozen^H3920. 31Canst thou bind^H7194 the cluster^H4575 of the Pleiades^H3598, Or loose^H6605 the bands^H4189 of Orion^H3685? 32Canst thou lead forth^H3318 the Mazzaroth^H4216 in their season^H6256? Or canst thou guide^H5148 the Bear^H5906 with her train^H1121? 33Knowest^H3045 thou the ordinances^H2708 of the heavens^H8064? Canst thou establish^H7760 the dominion^H4896 thereof in the earth^H776? 34Canst thou lift up^H7311 thy voice^H6963 to the clouds^H5645, That abundance^H8229 of waters^H4325 may cover^H3680 thee? 35Canst thou send^H7971 forth lightnings^H1300, that they may go^H3212, And say^H559 unto thee, Here we are? 36Who hath put^H7896 wisdom^H2451 in the inward parts^H2910? Or who hath given^H5414 understanding^H998 to the mind^H7907? 37Who can number^H5608 the clouds^H7834 by wisdom^H2451? Or who can pour^H7901 out the bottles^H5035 of heaven^H8064, 38When the dust^H6083 runneth^H3332 into a mass^H4165, And the clods^H7263 cleave fast together^H1692? 39Canst thou hunt^H6679 the prey^H2964 for the lioness^H3833, Or satisfy^H4390 the appetite^H2416 of the young lions^H3715, 40When they couch^H7817 in their dens^H4585, And abide^H3427 in the covert^H5521 to^H3926 lie in wait^H695? 41Who provideth^H3559 for the raven^H6158 his prey^H6718, When his young ones^H3206 cry^H7768 unto God^H410, And wander^H8582 for lack^H1097 of food^H400?
