Job 38:4-27

4WhereH375 were you 1when I laidH3245 the foundationH3245 of the earthH776? TellH5046 Me, ifH518 you 2haveH3045 understandingH998,5WhoH4310 setH7760 its 3measurementsH4461? SinceH3588 you knowH3045. OrH176 whoH4310 stretchedH5186 the lineH6957 on it?6On whatH4100 4were its basesH134 sunkH2883? OrH176 whoH4310 laidH3384 its cornerstoneH68H6438,7When the morningH1242 starsH3556 sangH7442 togetherH3162 And allH3605 the 5sonsH1121 of GodH430 shoutedH7321 for joyH7321?

8“Or who 6enclosedH5480 the seaH3220 with doorsH1817 When, burstingH1518 forthH1518, it wentH3318 out from the wombH7358;9When I madeH7760 a cloudH6051 its garmentH3830 And thickH6205 darknessH6205 its swaddlingH2854 bandH2854,10And I 78placedH7665 boundariesH2706 on it And setH7760 a boltH1280 and doorsH1817,11And I saidH559, ‘ThusH6311 farH5704 you shall comeH935, but noH3808 fartherH3254; And hereH6311 shall your proudH1347 wavesH1530 stopH7896’?

12“Have you 9everH4480H3117 in your lifeH4480H3117 commandedH6680 the morningH1242, And caused the dawnH7837 to knowH3045 its placeH4725,13That it might takeH270 holdH270 of 10the endsH3671 of the earthH776, And 11the wickedH7563 be shakenH5287 out of it?14It is changedH2015 like clayH2563 under the sealH2368; And they standH3320 forthH3320 likeH3644 a garmentH3830.1512From the wickedH7563 their lightH216 is withheldH4513, And the 13upliftedH7311 armH2220 is brokenH7665.

16“Have you enteredH935 into 14the springsH5033 of the seaH3220 Or walkedH1980 15in the recessesH2714 of the deepH8415?17Have the gatesH8179 of deathH4194 been revealedH1540 to you, Or have you seenH7200 the gatesH8179 of 16deepH6757 darknessH6757?18Have you understoodH995 the 17expanseH7338 of 18the earthH776? TellH5046 Me, ifH518 you knowH3045 allH3605 this.

19“WhereH335 is the wayH1870 to the dwellingH7931 of lightH216? And darknessH2822, whereH335 is its placeH4725,20That you may takeH3947 it to 19its territoryH1366 And that you may discernH995 the pathsH5410 to its 20homeH1004?21You knowH3045, for 21you were bornH3205 thenH227, And the numberH4557 of your daysH3117 is greatH7227!22Have you enteredH935 the storehousesH214 22of the snowH7950, Or have you seenH7200 the storehousesH214 of the 23hailH1259,23WhichH834 I have reservedH2820 for the timeH6256 of distressH6862, For the dayH3117 of warH7128 and battleH4421?24WhereH335 is the wayH1870 that 24the lightH216 is dividedH2505, Or the eastH6921 windH6921 scatteredH6327 on the earthH776?

25“WhoH4310 has cleftH6385 a channelH8585 for the floodH7858, Or a wayH1870 for the thunderboltH6963H2385,26To bringH4305 25rainH4305 on a landH776 withoutH3808 26peopleH376, On a desertH4057 withoutH3808 a manH120 in it,27To 27satisfyH7646 the wasteH7724 and desolateH4875 land And to make the 28seedsH4161 of grassH1877 to sproutH6779?
