The LORD Answers Job

|

# Chapter 38
|
||||
1. Then the LORD answered Job out of the whirlwind and said:
|
||||
|
||||
2. "Who is this that darkens counsel by words without knowledge?
|
||||
|
||||
3. Dress for action like a man;
|
||||
I will question you, and you make it known to me.
|
||||
|
||||
4. "Where were you when I laid the foundation of the earth?
|
||||
Tell me, if you have understanding.
|
||||
|
||||
5. Who determined its measurements--surely you know!
|
||||
Or who stretched the line upon it?
|
||||
|
||||
6. On what were its bases sunk,
|
||||
or who laid its cornerstone,
|
||||
|
||||
7. when the morning stars sang together
|
||||
and all the sons of God shouted for joy?
|
||||
|
||||
8. "Or who shut in the sea with doors
|
||||
when it burst out from the womb,
|
||||
|
||||
9. when I made clouds its garment
|
||||
and thick darkness its swaddling band,
|
||||
|
||||
10. and prescribed limits for it
|
||||
and set bars and doors,
|
||||
|
||||
11. and said, 'Thus far shall you come, and no farther,
|
||||
and here shall your proud waves be stayed'?
|
||||
|
||||
12. "Have you commanded the morning since your days began,
|
||||
and caused the dawn to know its place,
|
||||
|
||||
13. that it might take hold of the skirts of the earth,
|
||||
and the wicked be shaken out of it?
|
||||
|
||||
14. It is changed like clay under the seal,
|
||||
and its features stand out like a garment.
|
||||
|
||||
15. From the wicked their light is withheld,
|
||||
and their uplifted arm is broken.
|
||||
|
||||
16. "Have you entered into the springs of the sea,
|
||||
or walked in the recesses of the deep?
|
||||
|
||||
17. Have the gates of death been revealed to you,
|
||||
or have you seen the gates of deep darkness?
|
||||
|
||||
18. Have you comprehended the expanse of the earth?
|
||||
Declare, if you know all this.
|
||||
|
||||
19. "Where is the way to the dwelling of light,
|
||||
and where is the place of darkness,
|
||||
|
||||
20. that you may take it to its territory
|
||||
and that you may discern the paths to its home?
|
||||
|
||||
21. You know, for you were born then,
|
||||
and the number of your days is great!
|
||||
|
||||
22. "Have you entered the storehouses of the snow,
|
||||
or have you seen the storehouses of the hail,
|
||||
|
||||
23. which I have reserved for the time of trouble,
|
||||
for the day of battle and war?
|
||||
|
||||
24. What is the way to the place where the light is distributed,
|
||||
or where the east wind is scattered upon the earth?
|
||||
|
||||
25. "Who has cleft a channel for the torrents of rain
|
||||
and a way for the thunderbolt,
|
||||
|
||||
26. to bring rain on a land where no man is,
|
||||
on the desert in which there is no man,
|
||||
|
||||
27. to satisfy the waste and desolate land,
|
||||
and to make the ground sprout with grass?
|
||||
|
||||
28. "Has the rain a father,
|
||||
or who has begotten the drops of dew?
|
||||
|
||||
29. From whose womb did the ice come forth,
|
||||
and who has given birth to the frost of heaven?
|
||||
|
||||
30. The waters become hard like stone,
|
||||
and the face of the deep is frozen.
|
||||
|
||||
31. "Can you bind the chains of the Pleiades
|
||||
or loose the cords of Orion?
|
||||
|
||||
32. Can you lead forth the Mazzaroth in their season,
|
||||
or can you guide the Bear with its children?
|
||||
|
||||
33. Do you know the ordinances of the heavens?
|
||||
Can you establish their rule on the earth?
|
||||
|
||||
34. "Can you lift up your voice to the clouds,
|
||||
that a flood of waters may cover you?
|
||||
|
||||
35. Can you send forth lightnings, that they may go
|
||||
and say to you, 'Here we are'?
|
||||
|
||||
36. Who has put wisdom in the inward parts
|
||||
or given understanding to the mind?
|
||||
|
||||
37. Who can number the clouds by wisdom?
|
||||
Or who can tilt the waterskins of the heavens,
|
||||
|
||||
38. when the dust runs into a mass
|
||||
and the clods stick fast together?
|
||||
|
||||
39. "Can you hunt the prey for the lion,
|
||||
or satisfy the appetite of the young lions,
|
||||
|
||||
40. when they crouch in their dens
|
||||
or lie in wait in their thicket?
|
||||
|
||||
41. Who provides for the raven its prey,
|
||||
when its young ones cry to God for help,
|
||||
and wander about for lack of food?
