038:001

Who is this that darkeneth counsel by words without knowledge

038:002

Gird up now thy loins like a man; for I will demand of thee, and answer thou me

038:003

Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth? declare, if thou hast understanding

038:004

Who hath laid the measures thereof, if thou knowest? or who hath stretched the line upon it

038:005

Whereupon are the foundations thereof fastened? or who laid the corner stone thereof

038:006

When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy

038:007

Or who shut up the sea with doors, when it brake forth, as if it had issued out of the womb

038:008

When I made the cloud the garment thereof, and thick darkness a swaddlingband for it

038:009

And brake up for it my decreed place, and set bars and doors

038:010

And said, Hitherto shalt thou come, but no further: and here shall thy proud waves be stayed

038:011

Hast thou commanded the morning since thy days; and caused the dayspring to know his place

038:012

That it might take hold of the ends of the earth, that the wicked might be shaken out of it

038:013

It is turned as clay to the seal; and they stand as a garment

038:014

And from the wicked their light is withholden, and the high arm shall be broken

038:015

Hast thou entered into the springs of the sea? or hast thou walked in the search of the depth

038:016

Have the gates of death been opened unto thee? or hast thou seen the doors of the shadow of death

038:017

Hast thou perceived the breadth of the earth? declare if thou knowest it all

038:018

Where is the way where light dwelleth? and as for darkness, where is the place thereof

038:019

That thou shouldest take it to the bound thereof, and that thou shouldest know the paths to the house thereof

038:020

Knowest thou it, because thou wast then born? or because the number of thy days is great

038:021

Hast thou entered into the treasures of the snow? or hast thou seen the treasures of the hail

038:022

Which I have reserved against the time of trouble, against the day of battle and war

038:023

By what way is the light parted, which scattereth the east wind upon the earth

038:024

Who hath divided a watercourse for the overflowing of waters, or a way for the lightning of thunder

038:025

To cause it to rain on the earth, where no man is; on the wilderness, wherein there is no man

038:026

To satisfy the desolate and waste ground; and to cause the bud of the tender herb to spring forth

038:027

Hath the rain a father? or who hath begotten the drops of dew

038:028

Out of whose womb came the ice? and the hoary frost of heaven, who hath gendered it

038:029

The waters are hid as with a stone, and the face of the deep is frozen

038:030

Canst thou bind the sweet influences of Pleiades, or loose the bands of Orion

038:031

Canst thou bring forth Mazzaroth in his season? or canst thou guide Arcturus with his sons

038:032

Knowest thou the ordinances of heaven? canst thou set the dominion thereof in the earth

038:033

Canst thou lift up thy voice to the clouds, that abundance of waters may cover thee

038:034

Canst thou send lightnings, that they may go and say unto thee, Here we are

038:035

Who hath put wisdom in the inward parts? or who hath given understanding to the heart

038:036

Who can number the clouds in wisdom? or who can stay the bottles of heaven

038:037

When the dust groweth into hardness, and the clods cleave fast together

038:038

Wilt thou hunt the prey for the lion? or fill the appetite of the young lions

038:039

When they couch in their dens, and abide in the covert to lie in wait

038:040

Who provideth for the raven his food? when his young ones cry unto God, they wander for lack of meat
