Job - ch 38 v 1 - 20
- And 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; and I will demand of thee, and inform thou me.
- Where wast thou when I founded the earth? Declare, if thou hast understanding.
- Who set the measures thereof -- if thou knowest? or who stretched a line upon it?
- Whereupon were the foundations thereof sunken? or who laid its corner-stone,
- When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy?
- And who shut up the sea with doors, when it burst forth, issuing out of the womb?
- When I made the cloud its garment, and thick darkness a swaddling band for it;
- When I cut out for it my boundary, and set bars and doors,
- And said, Hitherto shalt thou come and no further, and here shall thy proud waves be stayed?
- Hast thou since thy days commanded the morning? hast thou caused the dawn to know its place,
- That it might take hold of the ends of the earth, and the wicked might be shaken out of it?
- It is changed like the signet-clay; and all things stand forth as in a garment:
- And from the wicked their light is withholden, and the uplifted arm is broken.
- Hast thou entered as far as the springs of the sea? and hast thou walked in the recesses of the deep?
- Have the gates of death been revealed unto thee? and hast thou seen the gates of the shadow of death?
- Hath thine understanding compassed the breadths of the earth? Declare if thou knowest it all.
- Where is the way to where light dwelleth? and the darkness, where is its place,
- That thou shouldest take it to its bound, and that thou shouldest know the paths to its house?
