18_JOB_38_01 Then the LORD answered Job out of the whirlwind , And said ,
18_JOB_38_02 who [ Is ] this that darkeneth counsel by words without knowledge ?
18_JOB_38_03 gird up now thy loins like A man ; for I will demand of thee , And answer thou me .
18_JOB_38_04 where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth ? declare , if thou hast understanding .
18_JOB_38_05 who hath laid the measures thereof , if thou knowest ? or who hath stretched the line upon it ?
18_JOB_38_06 whereupon are the foundations thereof fastened ? or who laid the corner stone thereof ;
18_JOB_38_07 when the morning stars sang together , And all the sons of God shouted for joy ?
18_JOB_38_08 or [ who ] shut up the sea with doors , when it brake forth , [ as if ] it had issued out of the womb ?
18_JOB_38_09 when I made the cloud the garment thereof , And thick darkness A swaddlingband for it ,
18_JOB_38_10 And brake up for it my decreed [ place ] , And set bars And doors ,
18_JOB_38_11 And said , hitherto shalt thou come , but no further : And here shall thy proud waves be stayed ?
18_JOB_38_12 hast thou commanded the morning since thy days ; [ And ] caused the dayspring to know his place ;
18_JOB_38_13 that it might take hold of the ends of the earth , that the wicked might be shaken out of it ?
18_JOB_38_14 it Is turned as clay [ to ] the seal ; And they stand as A garment .
18_JOB_38_15 And from the wicked their light Is withholden , And the high arm shall be broken .
18_JOB_38_16 hast thou entered into the springs of the sea ? or hast thou walked in the search of the depth ?
18_JOB_38_17 have the gates of death been opened unto thee ? or hast thou seen the doors of the shadow of death ?
18_JOB_38_18 hast thou perceived the breadth of the earth ? declare if thou knowest it all .
18_JOB_38_19 where [ Is ] the way [ where ] light dwelleth ? And [ as for ] darkness , where [ Is ] the place thereof ,
18_JOB_38_20 that thou shouldest take it to the bound thereof , And that thou shouldest know the paths [ to ] the house thereof ?
18_JOB_38_21 knowest thou [ it ] , because thou wast Then born ? or [ because ] the number of thy days [ Is ] great ?
18_JOB_38_22 hast thou entered into the treasures of the snow ? or hast thou seen the treasures of the hail ,
18_JOB_38_23 which I have reserved against the time of Trouble , against the day of battle And war ?
18_JOB_38_24 by what way Is the light parted , [ which ] scattereth the east wind upon the earth ?
18_JOB_38_25 who hath divided A watercourse for the overflowing of waters , or A way for the lightning of thunder ;
18_JOB_38_26 to cause it to rain on the earth , [ where ] no man [ Is ; on ] the wilderness , wherein [ there Is ] no man ;
18_JOB_38_27 to satisfy the desolate And waste [ ground ] ; And to cause the bud of the tender herb to spring forth ?
18_JOB_38_28 hath the rain A Father ? or who hath begotten the drops of dew ?
18_JOB_38_29 out of whose womb came the ice ? And the hoary frost of heaven , who hath gendered it ?
18_JOB_38_30 the waters are hid as [ with ] A stone , And the face of the deep Is frozen .
18_JOB_38_31 canst thou bind the sweet influences of Pleiades , or Loose the bands of Orion ?
18_JOB_38_32 canst thou bring forth Mazzaroth in his season ? or canst thou guide Arcturus with his sons ?
18_JOB_38_33 knowest thou the ordinances of heaven ? canst thou set the dominion thereof in the earth ?
18_JOB_38_34 canst thou lift up thy voice to the clouds , that abundance of waters may cover thee ?
18_JOB_38_35 canst thou send lightnings , that they may go , And say unto thee , here we [ are ] ?
18_JOB_38_36 who hath put wisdom in the inward parts ? or who hath given understanding to the heart ?
18_JOB_38_37 who can number the clouds in wisdom ? or who can stay the bottles of heaven ,
18_JOB_38_38 when the dust groweth into hardness , And the clods cleave fast together ?
18_JOB_38_39 Wilt thou hunt the prey for the lion ? or fill the appetite of the young lions ,
18_JOB_38_40 when they couch in [ their ] dens , [ And ] abide in the covert to Lie in wait ?
18_JOB_38_41 who provideth for the raven his food ? when his young ones cry unto God , they wander for lack of meat .
