Job 38:1-11

1And Jehovah answered JobH347 out of the whirlwind and saidH559,

2Who is this that darkeneth counselH6098 by wordsH4405 without knowledgeH1847?

3GirdH247 up now thy loinsH2504 like a manH1397; and I will demand of thee, and inform thou me.

4WhereH375 wast thou when I foundedH3245 the earthH776? DeclareH5046, if thou hast understandingH998.

5Who setH7760 the measures thereof — if thou knowest? or who stretchedH5186 a line upon it?

6Whereupon were the foundations thereof sunken? or who laid its corner-stone,

7When the morningH1242 starsH3556 sangH7442 togetherH3162, and all the sonsH1121 of 1GodH430 shoutedH7321 for joyH7442?

8And who shut up the seaH3220 with doorsH1817, when it burstH1518 forthH3318, issuing out of the wombH7358?

9When I madeH7760 the cloudH6051 its garment, and thickH6205 darknessH6205 a swaddling band for it;

10When I cut out for it my boundaryH2706, and setH7760 barsH1280 and doorsH1817,

11And saidH559, Hitherto shalt thou comeH935 and no further, and hereH6311 shall thy proud waves be stayed?
