God Speaks Now to Job

(Gen 1:1–10 )
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 38:1 - Then Jehovah answered Job out of the whirlwind, and said,
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 38:2 -
Who is this that darkeneth counsel
By words without knowledge?
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 38:3 -
Gird up now thy loins like a man;
For I will demand of thee, and declare thou unto me.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 38:4 -
Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth?
Declare, if thou hast understanding.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 38:5 -
Who determined the measures thereof, if thou knowest?
Or who stretched the line upon it?
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 38:6 -
Whereupon were the foundations thereof fastened?
Or who laid the corner-stone thereof,
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 38:7 -
When the morning stars sang together,
And all the sons of God shouted for joy?
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 38:8 -
Or who shut up the sea with doors,
When it brake forth, as if it had issued out of the womb;
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 38:9 -
When I made clouds the garment thereof,
And thick darkness a swaddling-band for it,
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 38:10 -
And marked out for it my bound,
And set bars and doors,
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 38:11 -
And said, Hitherto shalt thou come, but no further;
And here shall thy proud waves be stayed?

God's Mighty Power

Unchecked Copy BoxJob 38:12 -
Hast thou commanded the morning since thy days began,
And caused the dayspring to know its place;
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 38:13 -
That it might take hold of the ends of the earth,
And the wicked be shaken out of it?
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 38:14 -
It is changed as clay under the seal;
And all things stand forth as a garment:
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 38:15 -
And from the wicked their light is withholden,
And the high arm is broken.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 38:16 -
Hast thou entered into the springs of the sea?
Or hast thou walked in the recesses of the deep?
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 38:17 -
Have the gates of death been revealed unto thee?
Or hast thou seen the gates of the shadow of death?
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 38:18 -
Hast thou comprehended the earth in its breadth?
Declare, if thou knowest it all.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 38:19 -
Where is the way to the dwelling of light?
And as for darkness, where is the place thereof,
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 38:20 -
That thou shouldest take it to the bound thereof,
And that thou shouldest discern the paths to the house thereof?
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 38:21 -
Doubtless, thou knowest, for thou wast then born,
And the number of thy days is great!
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 38:22 -
Hast thou entered the treasuries of the snow,
Or hast thou seen the treasures of the hail,
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 38:23 -
Which I have reserved against the time of trouble,
Against the day of battle and war?
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 38:24 -
By what way is the light parted,
Or the east wind scattered upon the earth?
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 38:25 -
Who hath cleft a channel for the waterflood,
Or the way for the lightning of the thunder;
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 38:26 -
To cause it to rain on a land where no man is;
On the wilderness, wherein there is no man;
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 38:27 -
To satisfy the waste and desolate ground,
And to cause the tender grass to spring forth?
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 38:28 -
Hath the rain a father?
Or who hath begotten the drops of dew?
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 38:29 -
Out of whose womb came the ice?
And the hoary frost of heaven, who hath gendered it?
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 38:30 -
The waters hide themselves and become like stone,
And the face of the deep is frozen.
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 38:31 -
Canst thou bind the cluster of the Pleiades,
Or loose the bands of Orion?
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 38:32 -
Canst thou lead forth the Mazzaroth in their season?
Or canst thou guide the Bear with her train?
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 38:33 -
Knowest thou the ordinances of the heavens?
Canst thou establish the dominion thereof in the earth?
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 38:34 -
Canst thou lift up thy voice to the clouds,
That abundance of waters may cover thee?
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 38:35 -
Canst thou send forth lightnings, that they may go,
And say unto thee, Here we are?
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 38:36 -
Who hath put wisdom in the inward parts?
Or who hath given understanding to the mind?
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 38:37 -
Who can number the clouds by wisdom?
Or who can pour out the bottles of heaven,
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 38:38 -
When the dust runneth into a mass,
And the clods cleave fast together?
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 38:39 -
Canst thou hunt the prey for the lioness,
Or satisfy the appetite of the young lions,
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 38:40 -
When they couch in their dens,
And abide in the covert to lie in wait?
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 38:41 -
Who provideth for the raven his prey,
When his young ones cry unto God,
And wander for lack of food?
