Job - ch 38 v 1 - 20
- Then Jehovah answered Job out of the whirlwind, and said,
- Who is this that darkeneth counsel By words without knowledge?
- Gird up now thy loins like a man; For I will demand of thee, and declare thou unto me.
- Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth? Declare, if thou hast understanding.
- Who determined the measures thereof, if thou knowest? Or who stretched the line upon it?
- Whereupon were the foundations thereof fastened? Or who laid the corner-stone thereof,
- When the morning stars sang together, And all the sons of God shouted for joy?
- Or `who' shut up the sea with doors, When it brake forth, `as if' it had issued out of the womb;
- When I made clouds the garment thereof, And thick darkness a swaddling-band for it,
- And marked out for it my bound, And set bars and doors,
- And said, Hitherto shalt thou come, but no further; And here shall thy proud waves be stayed?
- Hast thou commanded the morning since thy days `began', `And' caused the dayspring to know its place;
- That it might take hold of the ends of the earth, And the wicked be shaken out of it?
- It is changed as clay under the seal; And `all things' stand forth as a garment:
- And from the wicked their light is withholden, And the high arm is broken.
- Hast thou entered into the springs of the sea? Or hast thou walked in the recesses of the deep?
- Have the gates of death been revealed unto thee? Or hast thou seen the gates of the shadow of death?
- Hast thou comprehended the earth in its breadth? Declare, if thou knowest it all.
- Where is the way to the dwelling of light? And as for darkness, where is the place thereof,
- That thou shouldest take it to the bound thereof, And that thou shouldest discern the paths to the house thereof?
