Job 38

1Then the LORDH3068 answeredH559 JobH347 outH4480 of the whirlwind, and saidH559, 2Who is this that darkeneth counselH6098 by wordsH4405 withoutH1097 knowledgeH1847? 3GirdH247 up nowH4994 thy loinsH2504 like a manH1397; for I will demandH7592 of thee, and declareH3045 thou unto meH4994. 4WhereH375 wast thou when I laidH3245 the foundationsH3245 of the earthH776? declareH5046, ifH518 thou hast understandingH998. 5Who determinedH7760 the measures thereof, ifH3588 thou knowest? or who stretchedH5186 the line uponH5921 it? 6Whereupon were the foundations thereof fastened? or who laidH3384 the cornerH6438 stoneH68 thereof; 7When the morningH1242 starsH3556 sangH7442 togetherH3162, and allH3605 the sonsH1121 of GodH430 shoutedH7321 for joyH7442? 8Or who shut upH3220 the seaH3220 with doorsH1817, when it brake forthH3318, as if it had issuedH3318 outH3318 of the wombH7358; 9When I madeH7760 the cloudH6051 the garmentH3830 thereof, and thickH6205 darknessH6205 a swaddlingband for it, 10And prescribedH2706 for it my decreeH2706, and setH7760 barsH1280 and doorsH1817, 11And saidH559, Hitherto shalt thou comeH935, but noH3808 furtherH3254; and hereH6311 shall thy proudH1347 wavesH1530 be stayed? 12Hast thou commandedH6680 the morningH1242 sinceH3117 thy daysH3117 began, and caused the dayspring to knowH3045 itsH3045 placeH4725; 13That it might takeH270 holdH270 of the endsH3671 of the earthH776, and the wicked be shakenH5287 outH4480 of it? 14It is changedH2015 as clay under the sealH2368; and all things standH3320 forthH3320 as a garmentH3830: 15And from the wicked their lightH216 is withholden, and the highH7311 armH2220 is brokenH7665. 16Hast thou enteredH935 intoH935 the springsH8415 of the seaH3220? or hast thou walkedH1980 in the recessesH2714 of the deepH8415? 17Have the gatesH8179 of deathH4194 been revealedH1540 unto thee? or hast thou seenH7200 the gatesH8179 of the shadowH6757 of deathH4194? 18Hast thou comprehended the breadth of the earthH776? declareH5046, ifH518 thou knowest it allH3605. 19WhereH335 is the wayH1870 to the dwellingH7931 of lightH216, and as for darknessH2822, whereH335 is the placeH4725 thereof; 20That thou shouldest takeH3947 it to the bound thereof, and that thou shouldest discernH995 the pathsH5410 to the houseH1004 thereof? 21Doubtless, thou knowest, for thou wast then bornH3205, and the numberH4557 of thy daysH3117 is greatH7227! 22Hast thou enteredH935 the treasuriesH214 of the snowH7950, or hast thou seenH7200 the treasuriesH214 of the hailH1259, 23WhichH834 I have reservedH2820 againstH4421 the time of troubleH6862, againstH4421 the dayH3117 of battleH4421 and warH4421? 24By whatH2088 wayH1870 is the lightH216 parted, or the eastH6921 windH6921 scatteredH6327 uponH5921 the earthH776? 25Who hath cleftH6385 a channel for the waterflood, or a wayH1870 for the lightning of the thunderH6963; 26To cause it to rainH4305 on a landH776 whereH3808 noH3808 manH376 is; on the wildernessH4057, wherein there is noH3808 manH376; 27To satisfyH7646 the waste and desolateH7722 ground; and to cause the tenderH1877 grassH1877 to springH6779 forthH6779? 28Hath the rainH4306 a fatherH1? or who hath begottenH3205 the dropsH96 of dewH2919? 29OutH3318 of whoseH4310 wombH990 cameH3318 the iceH7140? and the hoary frostH7140 of heavenH8064, who hath gendered it? 30The watersH4325 are hiddenH2244 as with stoneH68, and the faceH6440 of the deepH8415 is frozen. 31Canst thou bindH7194 the cluster of the PleiadesH3598, or loose the bands of OrionH3685? 32Canst thou leadH5148 forthH3318 the Mazzaroth in their seasonH6256? or canst thou guideH5148 the BearH5906 with herH5921 train? 33Knowest thou the ordinancesH2708 of the heavensH8064? canst thou establishH7760 the dominion thereof in the earthH776? 34Canst thou liftH7311 upH7311 thy voiceH6963 to the cloudsH5645, that abundanceH8229 of watersH4325 may coverH3680 thee? 35Canst thou sendH7971 forthH7971 lightningsH1300, that they may goH7971, and sayH559 unto thee, HereH2005 weH2005 are? 36Who hath putH5414 wisdomH2451 in the inward parts? or who hath givenH5414 understandingH998 to the mindH7907? 37Who canH4310 numberH5608 the cloudsH7834 by wisdomH2451? or who canH4310 pour outH7834 the bottles of heavenH8064, 38When the dustH6083 runneth intoH6083 a massH4165, and the clodsH7263 cleave fastH1692 togetherH1692? 39Wilt thou huntH6679 the preyH2964 for the lionessH3833? or satisfyH4390 the appetite of the youngH3715 lionsH3715, 40When they couch in their densH4585, and abideH3427 in the covert to lieH695 in waitH3427? 41Who provideth for the ravenH6158 his foodH400, when his youngH3206 ones cryH7768 unto GodH410, and wanderH8582 for lackH1097 of meat?
