chapter_Job_38
Job 38:1: And Jehovah answereth Job out of the whirlwind, and saith: &#8212; Job 38:2: Who is this &#8212; darkening counsel, By words without knowledge? Job 38:3: Gird, I pray thee, as a man, thy loins, And I ask thee, and cause thou Me to know. Job 38:4: Where wast thou when I founded earth? Declare, if thou hast known understanding. Job 38:5: Who placed its measures &#8212; if thou knowest? Or who hath stretched out upon it a line? Job 38:6: On what have its sockets been sunk? Or who hath cast its corner-stone? Job 38:7: In the singing together of stars of morning, And all sons of God shout for joy, Job 38:8: And He shutteth up with doors the sea, In its coming forth, from the womb it goeth out. Job 38:9: In My making a cloud its clothing, And thick darkness its swaddling band, Job 38:10: And I measure over it My statute, And place bar and doors, Job 38:11: And say, 'Hitherto come thou, and add not, And a command is placed On the pride of thy billows.' Job 38:12: Hast thou commanded morning since thy days? Causest thou the dawn to know its place? Job 38:13: To take hold on the skirts of the earth, And the wicked are shaken out of it, Job 38:14: It turneth itself as clay of a seal And they station themselves as clothed. Job 38:15: And withheld from the wicked is their light, And the arm lifted up is broken. Job 38:16: Hast thou come in to springs of the sea? And in searching the deep Hast thou walked up and down? Job 38:17: Revealed to thee were the gates of death? And the gates of death-shade dost thou see? Job 38:18: Thou hast understanding, Even unto the broad places of earth! Declare &#8212; if thou hast known it all. Job 38:19: Where is this &#8212; the way light dwelleth? And darkness, where is this &#8212; its place? Job 38:20: That thou dost take it unto its boundary, And that thou dost understand The paths of its house. Job 38:21: Thou hast known &#8212; for then thou art born And the number of thy days are many! Job 38:22: Hast thou come in unto the treasure of snow? Yea, the treasures of hail dost thou see? Job 38:23: That I have kept back for a time of distress, For a day of conflict and battle. Job 38:24: Where is this, the way light is apportioned? It scattereth an east wind over the earth. Job 38:25: Who hath divided for the flood a conduit? And a way for the lightning of the voices? Job 38:26: To cause it to rain on a land &#8212; no man, A wilderness &#8212; no man in it. Job 38:27: To satisfy a desolate and waste place, And to cause to shoot up The produce of the tender grass? Job 38:28: Hath the rain a father? Or who hath begotten the drops of dew? Job 38:29: From whose belly came forth the ice? And the hoar-frost of the heavens, Who hath begotten it? Job 38:30: As a stone waters are hidden, And the face of the deep is captured. Job 38:31: Dost thou bind sweet influences of Kimah? Or the attractions of Kesil dost thou open? Job 38:32: Dost thou bring out Mazzaroth in its season? And Aysh for her sons dost thou comfort? Job 38:33: Hast thou known the statutes of heaven? Or dost thou appoint Its dominion in the earth? Job 38:34: Dost thou lift up to the cloud thy voice, And abundance of water doth cover thee? Job 38:35: Dost thou send out lightnings, and they go And say unto thee, 'Behold us?' Job 38:36: Who hath put in the inward parts wisdom? Or who hath given To the covered part understanding? Job 38:37: Who doth number the clouds by wisdom? And the bottles of the heavens, Who doth cause to lie down, Job 38:38: In the hardening of dust into hardness, And clods cleave together? Job 38:39: Dost thou hunt for a lion prey? And the desire of young lions fulfil? Job 38:40: When they bow down in dens &#8212; Abide in a thicket for a covert? Job 38:41: Who doth prepare for a raven his provision, When his young ones cry unto God? They wander without food.
