Job 38:1-41 Then the LORD answered Job out of the whirlwind, and said,

new⁽ⁱ⁾

1 H3068 Then the LORD H6030 [H8799] answered H347 Job H5591 out of the whirlwind, H559 [H8799] and said,

2 H2821 [H8688] Who is this that darkeneth H6098 counsel H4405 by words H1847 without knowledge?

3 H247 [H8798] Gird up H2504 now thy loins H1397 like a man; H7592 [H8799] for I will demand H3045 [H8685] of thee, and answer thou me.

4 H375 Where H3245 [H8800] wast thou when I laid the foundations H776 of the earth? H5046 [H8685] declare, H3045 [H8804] if thou hast H998 understanding.

5 H7760 [H8804] Who hath laid H4461 the measures H3045 [H8799] of it, if thou knowest? H5186 [H8804] or who hath stretched H6957 the line upon it?

6 H134 Upon what are the foundations H2883 [H8717] of it fastened? H3384 [H8804] or who laid H6438 its corner H68 stone;

7 H1242 When the morning H3556 stars H7442 [H8800] shouted for joy H3162 together, H1121 and all the sons H430 of God H7321 [H8686] shouted for joy?

8 H5526 [H8686] Or who shut up H3220 the sea H1817 with doors, H1518 [H8800] when it broke forth, H3318 [H8799] as if it had issued out H7358 of the womb?

9 H7760 [H8800] When I made H6051 a cloud H3830 its garment, H6205 and thick darkness H2854 a swaddlingband for it,

10 H7665 [H8799] And broke up H2706 for it my decreed H7760 [H8799] place, and set H1280 bars H1817 and doors,

11 H559 [H8799] And said, H5704 H6311 Thus far H935 [H8799] shalt thou come, H3254 [H8686] but no further: H1347 and here shall thy proud H1530 waves H7896 [H8799] be stayed?

12 H6680 [H8765] Hast thou commanded H1242 the morning H3117 since thy days; H7837 and caused the dayspring H3045 [H8765] to know H4725 its place;

13 H270 [H8800] That it might take hold H3671 of the ends H776 of earth, H7563 that the wicked H5287 [H8735] might be shaken out of it?

14 H2015 [H8691] It is turned H2563 as clay H2368 to the seal; H3320 [H8691] and they stand H3830 as a garment.

15 H7563 And from the wicked H216 their light H4513 [H8735] is withheld, H7311 [H8802] and the high H2220 arm H7665 [H8735] shall be broken.

16 H935 [H8804] Hast thou entered H5033 into the springs H3220 of the sea? H1980 [H8694] or hast thou walked H2714 in the search H8415 of the depth?

17 H8179 Have the gates H4194 of death H1540 [H8738] been revealed H7200 [H8799] to thee? or hast thou seen H8179 the doors H6757 of the shadow of death?

18 H995 [H8712] Hast thou perceived H7338 the breadth H776 of the earth? H5046 [H8685] declare H3045 [H8804] if thou knowest it all.

19 H1870 Where is the way H216 where light H7931 [H8799] dwelleth? H2822 and as for darkness, H4725 where is its place,

20 H3947 [H8799] That thou shouldest take H1366 it to its bound, H995 [H8799] and that thou shouldest know H5410 the paths H1004 to its house?

21 H3045 [H8804] Knowest H3205 [H8735] thou it, because thou wast then born? H4557 or because the number H3117 of thy days H7227 is great?

22 H935 [H8804] Hast thou entered H214 into the treasuries H7950 of the snow? H7200 [H8799] or hast thou seen H214 the treasuries H1259 of the hail,

23 H2820 [H8804] Which I have reserved H6256 against the time H6862 of constriction, H3117 against the day H7128 of battle H4421 and war?

24 H335 By what H1870 way H216 is the light H2505 [H8735] parted, H6327 [H8686] which scattereth H6921 the east wind H776 upon the earth?

25 H6385 [H8765] Who hath divided H8585 a watercourse H7858 for the overflowing of waters, H1870 or a way H2385 for the lightning H6963 of thunder;

26 H4305 [H8687] To cause it to rain H776 on the earth, H376 where no man H4057 is; on the wilderness, H120 in which there is no man;

27 H7646 [H8687] To satisfy H7722 the desolate H4875 and waste H4161 ground; and to cause the bud H1877 of the tender herb H6779 [H8687] to spring forth?

28 H3426 Hath H4306 the rain H1 a father? H3205 [H8689] or who hath begotten H96 the drops H2919 of the dew?

29 H990 Out of whose womb H3318 [H8804] came H7140 the ice? H3713 and the hoary frost H8064 of heaven, H3205 [H8804] who hath gendered it?

30 H4325 The waters H2244 [H8691] are hid H68 as with a stone, H6440 and the face H8415 of the deep H3920 [H8691] is frozen.

31 H7194 [H8762] Canst thou bind H4575 the sweet influences H3598 of Pleiades, H6605 [H8762] or loose H4189 the bands H3685 of Orion?

32 H3318 [H8686] Canst thou bring forth H4216 Mazzaroth H6256 in its time? H5148 [H8686] or canst thou guide H5906 Arcturus H1121 with its sons?

33 H3045 [H8804] Knowest H2708 thou the ordinances H8064 of heaven? H7760 [H8799] canst thou set H4896 its dominion H776 on the earth?

34 H7311 [H8686] Canst thou lift H6963 thy voice H5645 to the clouds, H8229 that abundance H4325 of waters H3680 [H8762] may cover thee?

35 H7971 [H8762] Canst thou send H1300 lightnings, H3212 [H8799] that they may go, H559 [H8799] and say to thee, Here we are?

36 H7896 [H8804] Who hath put H2451 wisdom H2910 in the inward parts? H5414 [H8804] or who hath given H998 understanding H7907 to the mind?

37 H5608 [H8762] Who can number H7834 the clouds H2451 in wisdom? H7901 [H8686] or who can pour out H5035 the water bottles H8064 of heaven,

38 H6083 When the dust H3332 [H8800] groweth H4165 into hardness, H7263 and the clods H1692 [H8792] cleave fast together?

39 H6679 [H8799] Wilt thou hunt H2964 the prey H3833 for the lion? H4390 [H8762] or fill H2416 the appetite H3715 of the young lions,

40 H7817 [H8799] When they crouch H4585 in their dens, H3427 [H8799] and abide H5521 in the covert H3926 to H695 lie in wait?

41 H3559 [H8686] Who provideth H6158 for the raven H6718 his food? H3206 when his young ones H7768 [H8762] halloo H410 to God, H8582 [H8799] they wander H1097 for want H400 of food.
