381Then Jehovah answered Job out of the whirlwind, and said,+2Who is this that darkeneth counsel By words without knowledge?+3Gird up now thy loins like a man; For I will demand of thee, and declare thou unto me.+4Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth? Declare, if thou hast understanding.+5Who determined the measures thereof, if thou knowest? Or who stretched the line upon it?+6Whereupon were the foundations thereof fastened? Or who laid the corner-stone thereof,+7When the morning stars sang together, And all the sons of God shouted for joy?+8Or [who] shut up the sea with doors, When it brake forth, [as if] it had issued out of the womb;+9When I made clouds the garment thereof, And thick darkness a swaddling-band for it,+10And marked out for it my bound, And set bars and doors,+11And said, Hitherto shalt thou come, but no further; And here shall thy proud waves be stayed?+12Hast thou commanded the morning since thy days [began], [And] caused the dayspring to know its place;+13That it might take hold of the ends of the earth, And the wicked be shaken out of it?+14It is changed as clay under the seal; And [all things] stand forth as a garment:+15And from the wicked their light is withholden, And the high arm is broken.+16Hast thou entered into the springs of the sea? Or hast thou walked in the recesses of the deep?+17Have the gates of death been revealed unto thee? Or hast thou seen the gates of the shadow of death?+18Hast thou comprehended the earth in its breadth? Declare, if thou knowest it all.+19Where is the way to the dwelling of light? And as for darkness, where is the place thereof,+20That thou shouldest take it to the bound thereof, And that thou shouldest discern the paths to the house thereof?+21[Doubtless], thou knowest, for thou wast then born, And the number of thy days is great!+22Hast thou entered the treasuries of the snow, Or hast thou seen the treasures of the hail,+23Which I have reserved against the time of trouble, Against the day of battle and war?+24By what way is the light parted, Or the east wind scattered upon the earth?+25Who hath cleft a channel for the waterflood, Or the way for the lightning of the thunder;+26To cause it to rain on a land where no man is; On the wilderness, wherein there is no man;+27To satisfy the waste and desolate [ground], And to cause the tender grass to spring forth?+28Hath the rain a father? Or who hath begotten the drops of dew?+29Out of whose womb came the ice? And the hoary frost of heaven, who hath gendered it?+30The waters hide themselves [and become] like stone, And the face of the deep is frozen.+31Canst thou bind the cluster of the Pleiades, Or loose the bands of Orion?+32Canst thou lead forth the Mazzaroth in their season? Or canst thou guide the Bear with her train?+33Knowest thou the ordinances of the heavens? Canst thou establish the dominion thereof in the earth?+34Canst thou lift up thy voice to the clouds, That abundance of waters may cover thee?+35Canst thou send forth lightnings, that they may go, And say unto thee, Here we are?+36Who hath put wisdom in the inward parts? Or who hath given understanding to the mind?+37Who can number the clouds by wisdom? Or who can pour out the bottles of heaven,+38When the dust runneth into a mass, And the clods cleave fast together? 39Canst thou hunt the prey for the lioness, Or satisfy the appetite of the young lions,+40When they couch in their dens, [And] abide in the covert to lie in wait?+41Who provideth for the raven his prey, When his young ones cry unto God, [And] wander for lack of food?+
