Job 38:4-11

4“Where were you when I laid the foundation of the earth? Tell me, if you possess understanding!

5Who set its measurements – if you know – or who stretched a measuring line across it?

6On what were its bases set, or who laid its cornerstone –

7when the morning stars sang in chorus, and all the sons of God shouted for joy?

8“Who shut up the sea with doors when it burst forth, coming out of the womb,

9when I made the storm clouds its garment, and thick darkness its swaddling band,

10when I prescribed its limits, and set in place its bolts and doors,

11when I said, ‘To here you may come and no farther, here your proud waves will be confined’?
