Editing Job 38

* [[Job 38:1|1]] Then the LORD answered Job out of the whirlwind, and said,

* [[Job 38:2|2]] Who is this that darkeneth counsel by words without knowledge?

* [[Job 38:3|3]] Gird up now thy loins like a man; for I will demand of thee, and answer thou me.

* [[Job 38:4|4]] Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth? declare, if thou hast understanding.

* [[Job 38:5|5]] Who hath laid the measures thereof, if thou knowest? or who hath stretched the line upon it?

* [[Job 38:6|6]] Whereupon are the foundations thereof fastened? or who laid the corner stone thereof;

* [[Job 38:7|7]] When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy?

* [[Job 38:8|8]] Or who shut up the sea with doors, when it brake forth, as if it had issued out of the womb?

* [[Job 38:9|9]] When I made the cloud the garment thereof, and thick darkness a swaddlingband for it,

* [[Job 38:10|10]] And brake up for it my decreed place, and set bars and doors,

* [[Job 38:11|11]] And said, Hitherto shalt thou come, but no further: and here shall thy proud waves be stayed?

* [[Job 38:12|12]] Hast thou commanded the morning since thy days; and caused the dayspring to know his place;

* [[Job 38:13|13]] That it might take hold of the ends of the earth, that the wicked might be shaken out of it?

* [[Job 38:14|14]] It is turned as clay to the seal; and they stand as a garment.

* [[Job 38:15|15]] And from the wicked their light is withholden, and the high arm shall be broken.

* [[Job 38:16|16]] Hast thou entered into the springs of the sea? or hast thou walked in the search of the depth?

* [[Job 38:17|17]] Have the gates of death been opened unto thee? or hast thou seen the doors of the shadow of death?

* [[Job 38:18|18]] Hast thou perceived the breadth of the earth? declare if thou knowest it all.

* [[Job 38:19|19]] Where is the way where light dwelleth? and as for darkness, where is the place thereof,

* [[Job 38:20|20]] That thou shouldest take it to the bound thereof, and that thou shouldest know the paths to the house thereof?

* [[Job 38:21|21]] Knowest thou it, because thou wast then born? or because the number of thy days is great?

* [[Job 38:22|22]] Hast thou entered into the treasures of the snow? or hast thou seen the treasures of the hail,

* [[Job 38:23|23]] Which I have reserved against the time of trouble, against the day of battle and war?

* [[Job 38:24|24]] By what way is the light parted, which scattereth the east wind upon the earth?

* [[Job 38:25|25]] Who hath divided a watercourse for the overflowing of waters, or a way for the lightning of thunder;

* [[Job 38:26|26]] To cause it to rain on the earth, where no man is; on the wilderness, wherein there is no man; 

* [[Job 38:27|27]] To satisfy the desolate and waste ground; and to cause the bud of the tender herb to spring forth?

* [[Job 38:28|28]] Hath the rain a father? or who hath begotten the drops of dew?

* [[Job 38:29|29]] Out of whose womb came the ice? and the hoary frost of heaven, who hath gendered it?

* [[Job 38:30|30]] The waters are hid as with a stone, and the face of the deep is frozen.

* [[Job 38:31|31]] Canst thou bind the sweet influences of Pleiades, or loose the bands of Orion?

* [[Job 38:32|32]] Canst thou bring forth Mazzaroth in his season? or canst thou guide Arcturus with his sons?

* [[Job 38:33|33]] Knowest thou the ordinances of heaven? canst thou set the dominion thereof in the earth?

* [[Job 38:34|34]] Canst thou lift up thy voice to the clouds, that abundance of waters may cover thee?

* [[Job 38:35|35]] Canst thou send lightnings, that they may go and say unto thee, Here we are?

* [[Job 38:36|36]] Who hath put wisdom in the inward parts? or who hath given understanding to the heart?

* [[Job 38:37|37]] Who can number the clouds in wisdom? or who can stay the bottles of heaven,

* [[Job 38:38|38]] When the dust groweth into hardness, and the clods cleave fast together?

* [[Job 38:39|39]] Wilt thou hunt the prey for the lion? or fill the appetite of the young lions,

* [[Job 38:40|40]] When they couch in their dens, and abide in the covert to lie in wait?

* [[Job 38:41|41]] Who provideth for the raven his food? when his young ones cry unto God, they wander for lack of meat.
