381And Jehovah answereth Job out of the whirlwind, and saith: --+2Who is this--darkening counsel, By words without knowledge?+3Gird, I pray thee, as a man, thy loins, And I ask thee, and cause thou Me to know.+4Where wast thou when I founded earth? Declare, if thou hast known understanding.+5Who placed its measures--if thou knowest? Or who hath stretched out upon it a line?+6On what have its sockets been sunk? Or who hath cast its corner-stone?+7In the singing together of stars of morning, And all sons of God shout for joy,+8And He shutteth up with doors the sea, In its coming forth, from the womb it goeth out.+9In My making a cloud its clothing, And thick darkness its swaddling band,+10And I measure over it My statute, And place bar and doors,+11And say, `Hitherto come thou, and add not, And a command is placed On the pride of thy billows.'+12Hast thou commanded morning since thy days? Causest thou the dawn to know its place?+13To take hold on the skirts of the earth, And the wicked are shaken out of it,+14It turneth itself as clay of a seal And they station themselves as clothed.+15And withheld from the wicked is their light, And the arm lifted up is broken.+16Hast thou come in to springs of the sea? And in searching the deep Hast thou walked up and down?+17Revealed to thee were the gates of death? And the gates of death-shade dost thou see?+18Thou hast understanding, Even unto the broad places of earth! Declare--if thou hast known it all.+19Where is this--the way light dwelleth? And darkness, where is this--its place?+20That thou dost take it unto its boundary, And that thou dost understand The paths of its house.+21Thou hast known--for then thou art born And the number of thy days are many!+22Hast thou come in unto the treasure of snow? Yea, the treasures of hail dost thou see?+23That I have kept back for a time of distress, For a day of conflict and battle.+24Where is this, the way light is apportioned? It scattereth an east wind over the earth.+25Who hath divided for the flood a conduit? And a way for the lightning of the voices?+26To cause it to rain on a land--no man, A wilderness--no man in it.+27To satisfy a desolate and waste place, And to cause to shoot up The produce of the tender grass?+28Hath the rain a father? Or who hath begotten the drops of dew?+29From whose belly came forth the ice? And the hoar-frost of the heavens, Who hath begotten it?+30As a stone waters are hidden, And the face of the deep is captured.+31Dost thou bind sweet influences of Kimah? Or the attractions of Kesil dost thou open?+32Dost thou bring out Mazzaroth in its season? And Aysh for her sons dost thou comfort?+33Hast thou known the statutes of heaven? Or dost thou appoint Its dominion in the earth?+34Dost thou lift up to the cloud thy voice, And abundance of water doth cover thee?+35Dost thou send out lightnings, and they go And say unto thee, `Behold us?'+36Who hath put in the inward parts wisdom? Or who hath given To the covered part understanding?+37Who doth number the clouds by wisdom? And the bottles of the heavens, Who doth cause to lie down,+38In the hardening of dust into hardness, And clods cleave together? 39Dost thou hunt for a lion prey? And the desire of young lions fulfil?+40When they bow down in dens--Abide in a thicket for a covert?+41Who doth prepare for a raven his provision, When his young ones cry unto God? They wander without food.+
