The Lord Reveals His Omnipotence to Job
|
|
|
|
# Chapter 38
|
|
1. Then the Lord answered Job out of the whirlwind, and said:
|
|
|
|
2. "Who is this who darkens counsel
|
|
By words without knowledge?
|
|
|
|
3. Now prepare yourself like a man;
|
|
I will question you, and you shall answer Me.
|
|
|
|
4. "Where were you when I laid the foundations 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. To what were its foundations fastened?
|
|
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 forth and issued from the womb;
|
|
|
|
9. When I made the clouds its garment,
|
|
And thick darkness its swaddling band;
|
|
|
|
10. When I fixed My limit for it,
|
|
And set bars and doors;
|
|
|
|
11. When I said,
|
|
'This far you may come, but no farther,
|
|
And here your proud waves must stop!'
|
|
|
|
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 ends of the earth,
|
|
And the wicked be shaken out of it?
|
|
|
|
14. It takes on form like clay under a seal,
|
|
And stands out like a garment.
|
|
|
|
15. From the wicked their light is withheld,
|
|
And the upraised arm is broken.
|
|
|
|
16. "Have you entered the springs of the sea?
|
|
Or have you walked in search of the depths?
|
|
|
|
17. Have the gates of death been revealed to you?
|
|
Or have you seen the doors of the shadow of death?
|
|
|
|
18. Have you comprehended the breadth of the earth?
|
|
Tell Me, if you know all this.
|
|
|
|
19. "Where is the way to the dwelling of light?
|
|
And darkness, where is its place,
|
|
|
|
20. That you may take it to its territory,
|
|
That you may know the paths to its home?
|
|
|
|
21. Do you know it, because you were born then,
|
|
Or because the number of your days is great?
|
|
|
|
22. "Have you entered the treasury of snow,
|
|
Or have you seen the treasury of hail,
|
|
|
|
23. Which I have reserved for the time of trouble,
|
|
For the day of battle and war?
|
|
|
|
24. By what way is light diffused,
|
|
Or the east wind scattered over the earth?
|
|
|
|
25. "Who has divided a channel for the overflowing water,
|
|
Or a path for the thunderbolt,
|
|
|
|
26. To cause it to rain on a land where there is no one,
|
|
A wilderness in which there is no man;
|
|
|
|
27. To satisfy the desolate waste,
|
|
And cause to spring forth the growth of tender grass?
|
|
|
|
28. Has the rain a father?
|
|
Or who has begotten the drops of dew?
|
|
|
|
29. From whose womb comes the ice?
|
|
And the frost of heaven, who gives it birth?
|
|
|
|
30. The waters harden like stone,
|
|
And the surface of the deep is frozen.
|
|
|
|
31. "Can you bind the cluster of the Pleiades,
|
|
Or loose the belt of Orion?
|
|
|
|
32. Can you bring out Mazzaroth in its season?
|
|
Or can you guide the Great Bear with its cubs?
|
|
|
|
33. Do you know the ordinances of the heavens?
|
|
Can you set their dominion over the earth?
|
|
|
|
34. "Can you lift up your voice to the clouds,
|
|
That an abundance of water may cover you?
|
|
|
|
35. Can you send out lightnings, that they may go,
|
|
And say to you, 'Here we are!'?
|
|
|
|
36. Who has put wisdom in the mind?
|
|
Or who has given understanding to the heart?
|
|
|
|
37. Who can number the clouds by wisdom?
|
|
Or who can pour out the bottles of heaven,
|
|
|
|
38. When the dust hardens in clumps,
|
|
And the clods cling 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 lurk in their lairs to lie in wait?
|
|
|
|
41. Who provides food for the raven,
|
|
When its young ones cry to God,
|
|
And wander about for lack of food?
|
|
|
|
