Job 38:16-41 Or hast thou gone to the source of the sea, and walked in the tracks of the deep?

Brenton⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹⁶ Or hast thou gone to the source of the sea, and walked in the tracks of the deep? ¹⁷ And do the gates of death open to thee for fear; and did the porters of hell quake when they saw thee? ¹⁸ And hast thou been instructed in the breadth of the whole earth under heaven? tell me now, what is the extent of it? ¹⁹ And in what kind of a land does the light dwell? and of what kind is the place of darkness? ²⁰ If thou couldest bring me to their utmost boundaries, and if also thou knowest their paths; ²¹ I know then that thou wert born at that time, and the number of thy years is great. ²² But hast thou gone to the treasures of snow? and hast thou seen the treasures of hail? ²³ And is there a store of them, for thee against the time of thine enemies, for the day of wars and battle? ²⁴ And whence proceeds the frost? or whence is the south wind dispersed over the whole world under heaven? ²⁵ And who prepared a course for the violent rain, and a way for the thunders; ²⁶ to rain upon the land where there is no man, the wilderness, where there is not a man in it; so as to feed the untrodden and uninhabited land, ²⁷ and cause it to send forth a crop of green herbs? ²⁸ Who is the rain's father? and who has generated the drops of dew? ²⁹ And out of whose womb comes the ice? and who has produced the frost in the sky, ³⁰ which descends like flowing water? who has terrified the face of the ungodly? ³¹ And dost thou understand the band of Pleias, and hast thou opened the barrier of Orion? ³² Or wilt thou reveal Mazuroth in his season, and the evening star with his rays? Wilt thou guide them? ³³ And knowest thou the changes of heaven, or the events which take place together under heaven? ³⁴ And wilt thou call a cloud with thy voice, and will it obey thee with a violent shower of much rain? ³⁵ And wilt thou send lightnings, and they shall go? and shall they say to thee, What is thy pleasure? ³⁶ And who has given to women skill in weaving, or knowledge of embroidery? ³⁷ And who is he that numbers the clouds in wisdom, and has bowed the heaven down to the earth? ³⁸ For it is spread out as dusty earth, and I have cemented it as one hewn stone to another. ³⁹ And wilt thou hunt a prey for the lions? and satisfy the desires of the serpents? ⁴⁰ For they fear in their lairs, and lying in wait couch in the woods. ⁴¹ And who has prepared food for the raven? for its young ones wander and cry to the Lord, in search of food.
