381And 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; and I will demand of thee, and inform thou me.+4Where wast thou when I founded the earth? Declare, if thou hast understanding.+5Who set the measures thereof — if thou knowest? or who stretched a line upon it?+6Whereupon were the foundations thereof sunken? or who laid its corner-stone,+7When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons ofGod shouted for joy?+8And who shut up the sea with doors, when it burst forth, issuing out of the womb?+9When I made the cloud its garment, and thick darkness a swaddling band for it;+10When I cut out for it my boundary, and set bars and doors,+11And said, Hitherto shalt thou come and no further, and here shall thy proud waves be stayed?+12Hast thou since thy days commanded the morning? hast thou caused the dawn to know its place,+13That it might take hold of the ends of the earth, and the wicked might be shaken out of it?+14It is changed like the signet-clay; and [all things] stand forth as in a garment:+15And from the wicked their light is withholden, and the uplifted arm is broken.+16Hast thou entered as far as the springs of the sea? and hast thou walked in the recesses of the deep?+17Have the gates of death been revealed unto thee? and hast thou seen the gates of the shadow of death?+18Hath thine understanding compassed the breadths of the earth? Declare if thou knowest it all.+19Where is the way to where light dwelleth? and the darkness, where is its place,+20That thou shouldest take it to its bound, and that thou shouldest know the paths to its house?+21Thou knowest, for thou wast then born, and the number of thy days is great!+22Hast thou entered into the storehouses of the snow, and hast thou seen the treasuries of the hail,+23Which I have reserved for the time of distress, for the day of battle and war?+24By what way is the light parted, [and] the east wind scattered upon the earth?+25Who hath divided a channel for the rain-flood, and a way for the thunder's flash;+26To cause it to rain on the earth, where no one is; on the wilderness wherein there is not a man;+27To satisfy the desolate and waste [ground], and to cause the sprout of the grass to spring forth?+28Hath the rain a father? or who begetteth the drops of dew?+29Out of whose womb cometh the ice? and the hoary frost of heaven, who bringeth it forth?+30When the waters lie hidden as in stone, and the face of the deep holdeth fast together.+31Canst thou fasten the bands of the Pleiades, or loosen the cords of Orion?+32Dost thou bring forth the constellations each in its season? or dost thou guide the Bear with her sons?+33Knowest thou the ordinances of the heavens? dost thou determine their rule over the earth?+34Dost thou lift up thy voice to the clouds, that floods of waters may cover thee?+35Dost 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 numbereth the clouds with wisdom? or who poureth out the bottles of the heavens,+38When the dust runneth as into a molten mass, and the clods cleave fast together? 39Dost thou hunt the prey for the lioness, and dost thou satisfy the appetite of the young lions,+40When they crouch in [their] dens, [and] abide in the thicket to lie in wait?+41Who provideth for the raven his food, when his young ones cry untoGod, [and] they wander for lack of meat?+
