And set a bolt and doors,
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 38:11 - And I said, ‘Thus far you shall come, but no farther;
And here shall your proud waves stop’?

Or given understanding to the [fn]mind?
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 38:37 - “Who can count the clouds by wisdom,
Or tip the water jars of the heavens,
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 38:38 - When the dust hardens into a mass
And the clods stick together?
Unchecked Copy BoxJob 38:39 - “Can you hunt the prey for the lion,
Or satisfy the appetite of the young lions,

And lie in wait in their lair?

When its young cry to God
And wander about without food?
