Job 38:4-18

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?

12Hast thou since thy daysH3117 commandedH6680 the morningH1242? hast thou caused the dawnH7837 to knowH3045 its placeH4725,

13That it might takeH270 holdH270 of the ends of the earthH776, and the wicked might be shakenH5287 out of it?

14It is changedH2015 like the signet-clay; and [all things] standH3320 forth as in a garment:

15And from the wicked their lightH216 is withholden, and the upliftedH7311 armH2220 is brokenH7665.

16Hast thou entered as far as the springs of the seaH3220? and hast thou walkedH1980 in the recesses of the deepH8415?

17Have the gatesH8179 of deathH4194 been revealedH1540 unto thee? and hast thou seenH7200 the gatesH8179 of the shadow of deathH4194?

18Hath thine understandingH995 compassed the breadths of the earthH776? DeclareH5046 if thou knowest it all.
