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. Job 39:1 Knowest thou the time when the wild goats of the rock bring forth? or canst thou mark when the hinds do calve? Job 39:2 Canst thou number the months that they fulfil? or knowest thou the time when they bring forth? Job 39:3 They bow themselves, they bring forth their young ones, they cast out their sorrows. Job 39:4 Their young ones are in good liking, they grow up with corn; they go forth, and return not unto them. Job 39:5 Who hath sent out the wild ass free? or who hath loosed the bands of the wild ass? Job 39:6 Whose house I have made the wilderness, and the barren land his dwellings. Job 39:7 He scorneth the multitude of the city, neither regardeth he the crying of the driver. Job 39:8 The range of the mountains is his pasture, and he searcheth after every green thing. Job 39:9 Will the unicorn be willing to serve thee, or abide by thy crib? Job 39:10 Canst thou bind the unicorn with his band in the furrow? or will he harrow the valleys after thee? Job 39:11 Wilt thou trust him, because his strength is great? or wilt thou leave thy labour to him? Job 39:12 Wilt thou believe him, that he will bring home thy seed, and gather it into thy barn? Job 39:13 Gavest thou the goodly wings unto the peacocks? or wings and feathers unto the ostrich? Job 39:14 Which leaveth her eggs in the earth, and warmeth them in dust, Job 39:15 And forgetteth that the foot may crush them, or that the wild beast may break them. Job 39:16 She is hardened against her young ones, as though they were not hers: her labour is in vain without fear; Job 39:17 Because God hath deprived her of wisdom, neither hath he imparted to her understanding. Job 39:18 What time she lifteth up herself on high, she scorneth the horse and his rider. Job 39:19 Hast thou given the horse strength? hast thou clothed his neck with thunder? Job 39:20 Canst thou make him afraid as a grasshopper? the glory of his nostrils is terrible. Job 39:21 He paweth in the valley, and rejoiceth in his strength: he goeth on to meet the armed men. Job 39:22 He mocketh at fear, and is not affrighted; neither turneth he back from the sword. Job 39:23 The quiver rattleth against him, the glittering spear and the shield. Job 39:24 He swalloweth the ground with fierceness and rage: neither believeth he that it is the sound of the trumpet. Job 39:25 He saith among the trumpets, Ha, ha; and he smelleth the battle afar off, the thunder of the captains, and the shouting. Job 39:26 Doth the hawk fly by thy wisdom, and stretch her wings toward the south? Job 39:27 Doth the eagle mount up at thy command, and make her nest on high? Job 39:28 She dwelleth and abideth on the rock, upon the crag of the rock, and the strong place. Job 39:29 From thence she seeketh the prey, and her eyes behold afar off. Job 39:30 Her young ones also suck up blood: and where the slain are, there is she. |
