Job - Chapter: 38


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


38:1	Then answered the Lord vnto Iob out of the whirle winde, and said,
38:2	Who is this that darkeneth the counsell by wordes without knowledge?
38:3	Girde vp nowe thy loynes like a man: I will demande of thee and declare thou vnto me.
38:4	Where wast thou when I layd the foundations of the earth? declare, if thou hast vnderstanding,
38:5	Who hath layde the measures thereof, if thou knowest, or who hath stretched the line ouer it:
38:6	Whereupon are the foundations thereof set: or who layed the corner stone thereof:
38:7	When the starres of the morning praysed me together, and all the children of God reioyced:
38:8	Or who hath shut vp the Sea with doores, when it yssued and came foorth as out of the wombe:
38:9	When I made the cloudes as a couering thereof, and darkenesse as the swadeling bands thereof:
38:10	When I stablished my commandement vpon it, and set barres and doores,
38:11	And said, Hitherto shalt thou come, but no farther, and here shall it stay thy proude waues.
38:12	Hast thou commanded the morning since thy dayes? hast thou caused the morning to knowe his place,
38:13	That it might take hold of the corners of the earth, and that the wicked might be shaken out of it?
38:14	It is turned as clay to facion, and all stand vp as a garment.
38:15	And from the wicked their light shall be taken away, and the hie arme shalbe broken.
38:16	Hast thou entred into the bottomes of the sea? or hast thou walked to seeke out the depth?
38:17	Haue the gates of death bene opened vnto thee? or hast thou seene the gates of the shadowe of death?
38:18	Hast thou perceiued the breadth of the earth? tell if thou knowest all this.
38:19	Where is the way where light dwelleth? and where is the place of darkenesse,
38:20	That thou shouldest receiue it in the boundes thereof, and that thou shouldest knowe the paths to the house thereof?
38:21	Knewest thou it, because thou wast then borne, and because the nomber of thy dayes is great?
38:22	Hast thou entred into the treasures of the snow? or hast thou seene the treasures of ye haile,
38:23	Which I haue hid against the time of trouble, against the day of warre and battell?
38:24	By what way is the light parted, which scattereth the East winde vpon the earth?
38:25	Who hath deuided the spowtes for the raine? or the way for the lightning of ye thunders,
38:26	To cause it to raine on the earth where no man is, and in the wildernes where there is no man?
38:27	To fulfil the wilde and waste place, and to cause the bud of the herbe to spring forth?
38:28	Who is the father of the rayne? or who hath begotten the droppes of the dewe?
38:29	Out of whose wombe came the yee? who hath ingendred the frost of the heauen?
38:30	The waters are hid as with a stone: and the face of the depth is frosen.
38:31	Canst thou restraine the sweete influences of the Pleiades? or loose the bandes of Orion?
38:32	Canst thou bring foorth Mazzaroth in their time? canst thou also guide Arcturus with his sonnes?
38:33	Knowest thou the course of heauen, or canst thou set the rule thereof in the earth?
38:34	Canst thou lift vp thy voice to the cloudes that the aboundance of water may couer thee?
38:35	Canst thou sende the lightenings that they may walke, and say vnto thee, Loe, heere we are?
38:36	Who hath put wisedome in the reines? or who hath giuen the heart vnderstanding?
38:37	Who can nomber cloudes by wisedome? or who can cause to cease the bottels of heaue,
38:38	When the earth groweth into hardnesse, and the clottes are fast together?
