| Job 38:1 |
|
Then Jehovah answered Job out of the whirlwind,
and said, |
|
|
|
|
| Job 38:2 |
|
Who is this that darkeneth counsel By words
without knowledge? |
| |
|
|
| Job 38:3 |
|
Gird up now thy loins like a man; For I will
demand of thee, and declare thou unto me. |
| |
|
|
| Job 38:4 |
|
Where wast thou when I laid the foundations
of the earth? Declare, if thou hast understanding. |
| |
|
|
| Job 38:5 |
|
Who determined the measures thereof, if thou
knowest? Or who stretched the line upon it? |
| |
|
|
| Job 38:6 |
|
Whereupon were the foundations thereof fastened?
Or who laid the corner-stone thereof, |
| |
|
|
| Job 38:7 |
|
When the morning stars sang together, And all
the sons of God shouted for joy? |
|
|
|
| Job 38:8 |
|
Or who shut up the sea with doors, When it brake
forth, as if it had issued out of the womb; |
|
|
|
| Job 38:9 |
|
When I made clouds the garment thereof, And
thick darkness a swaddling-band for it, |
|
|
|
| Job 38:10 |
|
And marked out for it my bound, And set bars
and doors, |
|
|
|
| Job 38:11 |
|
And said, Hitherto shalt thou come, but no further;
And here shall thy proud waves be stayed? |
|
|
|
| Job 38:12 |
|
Hast thou commanded the morning since thy days
began, And caused the dayspring to know its place; |
|
|
|
| Job 38:13 |
|
That it might take hold of the ends of the earth,
And the wicked be shaken out of it? |
|
|
|
| Job 38:14 |
|
It is changed as clay under the seal; And all
things stand forth as a garment: |
|
|
|
| Job 38:15 |
|
And from the wicked their light is withholden,
And the high arm is broken. |
|
|
|
| Job 38:16 |
|
Hast thou entered into the springs of the sea?
Or hast thou walked in the recesses of the deep? |
|
|
|
| Job 38:17 |
|
Have the gates of death been revealed unto thee?
Or hast thou seen the gates of the shadow of death? |
|
|
|
| Job 38:18 |
|
Hast thou comprehended the earth in its breadth?
Declare, if thou knowest it all. |
|
|
|
| Job 38:19 |
|
Where is the way to the dwelling of light? And
as for darkness, where is the place thereof, |
| |
|
|
| Job 38:20 |
|
That thou shouldest take it to the bound thereof,
And that thou shouldest discern the paths to the house thereof? |
| |
|
|
| Job 38:21 |
|
Doubtless, thou knowest, for thou wast then
born, And the number of thy days is great! |
|
|
|
|
| Job 38:22 |
|
Hast thou entered the treasuries of the snow,
Or hast thou seen the treasures of the hail, |
|
|
|
|
| Job 38:23 |
|
Which I have reserved against the time of trouble,
Against the day of battle and war? |
|
|
|
|
| Job 38:24 |
|
By what way is the light parted, Or the east
wind scattered upon the earth? |
|
|
|
|
| Job 38:25 |
|
Who hath cleft a channel for the waterflood,
Or the way for the lightning of the thunder; |
|
|
|
|
| Job 38:26 |
|
To cause it to rain on a land where no man is;
On the wilderness, wherein there is no man; |
|
|
|
|
| Job 38:27 |
|
To satisfy the waste and desolate ground , And
to cause the tender grass to spring forth? |
|
|
|
|
| Job 38:28 |
|
Hath the rain a father? Or who hath begotten
the drops of dew? |
|
|
|
|
| Job 38:29 |
|
Out of whose womb came the ice? And the hoary
frost of heaven, who hath gendered it? |
|
|
|
|
| Job 38:30 |
|
The waters hide themselves and become like stone,
And the face of the deep is frozen. |
|
|
|
|
| Job 38:31 |
|
Canst thou bind the cluster of the Pleiades,
Or loose the bands of Orion? |
|
|
|
|
| Job 38:32 |
|
Canst thou lead forth the Mazzaroth in their
season? Or canst thou guide the Bear with her train? |
|
|
|
|
| Job 38:33 |
|
Knowest thou the ordinances of the heavens?
Canst thou establish the dominion thereof in the earth? |
|
|
|
|
| Job 38:34 |
|
Canst thou lift up thy voice to the clouds,
That abundance of waters may cover thee? |
|
|
|
|
| Job 38:35 |
|
Canst thou send forth lightnings, that they
may go, And say unto thee, Here we are? |
|
|
|
|
| Job 38:36 |
|
Who hath put wisdom in the inward parts? Or
who hath given understanding to the mind? |
|
|
|
|
| Job 38:37 |
|
Who can number the clouds by wisdom? Or who
can pour out the bottles of heaven, |
|
|
|
|
| Job 38:38 |
|
When the dust runneth into a mass, And the clods
cleave fast together? |
|
|
|
|
| Job 38:39 |
|
Canst thou hunt the prey for the lioness, Or
satisfy the appetite of the young lions, |
|
|
|
|
| Job 38:40 |
|
When they couch in their dens, And abide in
the covert to lie in wait? |
|
|
|
|
| Job 38:41 |
|
Who provideth for the raven his prey, When his
young ones cry unto God, And wander for lack of food? |
