⠀⠀⠀⠀
{Job 38:1} Then the LORD answered Job out of the whirlwind, and said,
⠀⠀⠀⠀
{Job 38:2} Who [is] this that darkeneth counsel by words without knowledge?
⠀⠀⠀⠀
{Job 38:3} Gird up now thy loins like a man; for I will demand of thee, and answer thou me.
⠀⠀⠀⠀
{Job 38:4} Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth? declare, if thou hast understanding.
⠀⠀⠀⠀
{Job 38:5} Who hath laid the measures thereof, if thou knowest? or who hath stretched the line upon it?
⠀⠀⠀⠀
{Job 38:6} Whereupon are the foundations thereof fastened? or who laid the corner stone thereof;
⠀⠀⠀⠀
{Job 38:7} When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy?
⠀⠀⠀⠀
{Job 38:8} Or [who] shut up the sea with doors, when it brake forth, [as if] it had issued out of the womb?
⠀⠀⠀⠀
{Job 38:9} When I made the cloud the garment thereof, and thick darkness a swaddlingband for it,
⠀⠀⠀⠀
{Job 38:10} And brake up for it my decreed [place,] and set bars and doors,
⠀⠀⠀⠀
{Job 38:11} And said, Hitherto shalt thou come, but no further: and here shall thy proud waves be stayed?
⠀⠀⠀⠀
{Job 38:12} Hast thou commanded the morning since thy days; [and] caused the dayspring to know his place;
⠀⠀⠀⠀
{Job 38:13} That it might take hold of the ends of the earth, that the wicked might be shaken out of it?
⠀⠀⠀⠀
{Job 38:14} It is turned as clay [to] the seal; and they stand as a garment.
⠀⠀⠀⠀
{Job 38:15} And from the wicked their light is withholden, and the high arm shall be broken.
⠀⠀⠀⠀
{Job 38:16} Hast thou entered into the springs of the sea? or hast thou walked in the search of the depth?
⠀⠀⠀⠀
{Job 38:17} Have the gates of death been opened unto thee? or hast thou seen the doors of the shadow of death?
⠀⠀⠀⠀
{Job 38:18} Hast thou perceived the breadth of the earth? declare if thou knowest it all.
⠀⠀⠀⠀
{Job 38:19} Where [is] the way [where] light dwelleth? and [as for] darkness, where [is] the place thereof,
⠀⠀⠀⠀
{Job 38:20} That thou shouldest take it to the bound thereof, and that thou shouldest know the paths [to] the house thereof?
⠀⠀⠀⠀
{Job 38:21} Knowest thou [it,] because thou wast then born? or [because] the number of thy days [is] great?
⠀⠀⠀⠀
{Job 38:22} Hast thou entered into the treasures of the snow? or hast thou seen the treasures of the hail,
⠀⠀⠀⠀
{Job 38:23} Which I have reserved against the time of trouble, against the day of battle and war?
⠀⠀⠀⠀
{Job 38:24} By what way is the light parted, [which] scattereth the east wind upon the earth?
⠀⠀⠀⠀
{Job 38:25} Who hath divided a watercourse for the overflowing of waters, or a way for the lightning of thunder;
⠀⠀⠀⠀
{Job 38:26} To cause it to rain on the earth, [where] no man [is; on] the wilderness, wherein [there is] no man;
⠀⠀⠀⠀
{Job 38:27} To satisfy the desolate and waste [ground;] and to cause the bud of the tender herb to spring forth?
⠀⠀⠀⠀
{Job 38:28} Hath the rain a father? or who hath begotten the drops of dew?
⠀⠀⠀⠀
{Job 38:29} Out of whose womb came the ice? and the hoary frost of heaven, who hath gendered it?
⠀⠀⠀⠀
{Job 38:30} The waters are hid as [with] a stone, and the face of the deep is frozen.
⠀⠀⠀⠀
{Job 38:31} Canst thou bind the sweet influences of Pleiades, or loose the bands of Orion?
⠀⠀⠀⠀
{Job 38:32} Canst thou bring forth Mazzaroth in his season? or canst thou guide Arcturus with his sons?
⠀⠀⠀⠀
{Job 38:33} Knowest thou the ordinances of heaven? canst thou set the dominion thereof in the earth?
⠀⠀⠀⠀
{Job 38:34} Canst thou lift up thy voice to the clouds, that abundance of waters may cover thee?
⠀⠀⠀⠀
{Job 38:35} Canst thou send lightnings, that they may go, and say unto thee, Here we [are? ]
⠀⠀⠀⠀
{Job 38:36} Who hath put wisdom in the inward parts? or who hath given understanding to the heart?
⠀⠀⠀⠀
{Job 38:37} Who can number the clouds in wisdom? or who can stay the bottles of heaven,
⠀⠀⠀⠀
{Job 38:38} When the dust groweth into hardness, and the clods cleave fast together?
⠀⠀⠀⠀
{Job 38:39} Wilt thou hunt the prey for the lion? or fill the appetite of the young lions,
⠀⠀⠀⠀
{Job 38:40} When they couch in [their] dens, [and] abide in the covert to lie in wait?
⠀⠀⠀⠀
{Job 38:41} Who provideth for the raven his food? when his young ones cry unto God, they wander for lack of meat.
