Job 38 (kjv)

Then the LORD^H3068 answered^H6030 Job^H347 out of the whirlwind^H5591, and said^H559,²Who is this that darkeneth^H2821 counsel^H6098 by words^H4405 without knowledge^H1847?³Gird up^H247 now thy loins^H2504 like a man^H1397; for I will demand^H7592 of thee, and answer^H3045 thou me.

⁴Where^H375 wast thou when I laid the foundations^H3245 of the earth^H776? declare^H5046, if thou hast^H3045 understanding^H998.⁵Who hath laid^H7760 the measures^H4461 thereof, if thou knowest^H3045? or who hath stretched^H5186 the line^H6957 upon it?⁶Whereupon are the foundations^H134 thereof fastened^H2883? or who laid^H3384 the corner^H6438 stone^H68 thereof;⁷When the morning^H1242 stars^H3556 sang^H7442 together^H3162, and all the sons^H1121 of God^H430 shouted^H7321 for joy?⁸Or who shut up^H5526 the sea^H3220 with doors^H1817, when it brake forth^H1518, as if it had issued out^H3318 of the womb^H7358?⁹When I made^H7760 the cloud^H6051 the garment^H3830 thereof, and thick darkness^H6205 a swaddlingband^H2854 for it,¹⁰And brake up^H7665 for it my decreed^H2706 place, and set^H7760 bars^H1280 and doors^H1817,¹¹And said^H559, Hitherto^{H5704 H6311} shalt thou come^H935, but no further^H3254: and here shall thy proud^H1347 waves^H1530 be stayed^H7896?¹²Hast thou commanded^H6680 the morning^H1242 since thy days^H3117; and caused the dayspring^H7837 to know^H3045 his place^H4725;¹³That it might take hold^H270 of the ends^H3671 of the earth^H776, that the wicked^H7563 might be shaken out^H5287 of it?¹⁴It is turned^H2015 as clay^H2563 to the seal^H2368; and they stand^H3320 as a garment^H3830.¹⁵And from the wicked^H7563 their light^H216 is withholden^H4513, and the high^H7311 arm^H2220 shall be broken^H7665.¹⁶Hast thou entered^H935 into the springs^H5033 of the sea^H3220? or hast thou walked^H1980 in the search^H2714 of the depth^H8415?¹⁷Have the gates^H8179 of death^H4194 been opened^H1540 unto thee? or hast thou seen^H7200 the doors^H8179 of the shadow of death^H6757?¹⁸Hast thou perceived^H995 the breadth^H7338 of the earth^H776? declare^H5046 if thou knowest^H3045 it all.¹⁹Where is the way^H1870 where light^H216 dwelleth^H7931? and as for darkness^H2822, where is the place^H4725 thereof,²⁰That thou shouldest take^H3947 it to the bound^H1366 thereof, and that thou shouldest know^H995 the paths^H5410 to the house^H1004 thereof?²¹Knowest^H3045 thou it, because thou wast then born^H3205? or because the number^H4557 of thy days^H3117 is great^H7227?²²Hast thou entered^H935 into the treasures^H214 of the snow^H7950? or hast thou seen^H7200 the treasures^H214 of the hail^H1259,²³Which I have reserved^H2820 against the time^H6256 of trouble^H6862, against the day^H3117 of battle^H7128 and war^H4421?²⁴By what^H335 way^H1870 is the light^H216 parted^H2505, which scattereth^H6327 the east wind^H6921 upon the earth^H776?²⁵Who hath divided^H6385 a watercourse^H8585 for the overflowing of waters^H7858, or a way^H1870 for the lightning^H2385 of thunder^H6963;²⁶To cause it to rain^H4305 on the earth^H776, where no man^H376 is; on the wilderness^H4057, wherein there is no man^H120;²⁷To satisfy^H7646 the desolate^H7722 and waste^H4875 ground; and to cause the bud^H4161 of the tender herb^H1877 to spring forth^H6779?²⁸Hath^H3426 the rain^H4306 a father^H1? or who hath begotten^H3205 the drops^H96 of dew^H2919?²⁹Out of whose womb^H990 came^H3318 the ice^H7140? and the hoary frost^H3713 of heaven^H8064, who hath gendered^H3205 it?³⁰The waters^H4325 are hid^H2244 as with a stone^H68, and the face^H6440 of the deep^H8415 is frozen^H3920.

³¹Canst thou bind^H7194 the sweet influences^H4575 of Pleiades^H3598, or loose^H6605 the bands^H4189 of Orion^H3685?³²Canst thou bring forth^H3318 Mazzaroth^H4216 in his season^H6256? or canst thou guide^H5148 Arcturus^H5906 with his sons^H1121?³³Knowest^H3045 thou the ordinances^H2708 of heaven^H8064? canst thou set^H7760 the dominion^H4896 thereof in the earth^H776?³⁴Canst thou lift up^H7311 thy voice^H6963 to the clouds^H5645, that abundance^H8229 of waters^H4325 may cover^H3680 thee?³⁵Canst thou send^H7971 lightnings^H1300, that they may go^H3212, and say^H559 unto thee, Here we are?³⁶Who hath put^H7896 wisdom^H2451 in the inward parts^H2910? or who hath given^H5414 understanding^H998 to the heart^H7907?³⁷Who can number^H5608 the clouds^H7834 in wisdom^H2451? or who can stay^H7901 the bottles^H5035 of heaven^H8064,³⁸When the dust^H6083 groweth^H3332 into hardness^H4165, and the clods^H7263 cleave fast together^H1692?³⁹Wilt thou hunt^H6679 the prey^H2964 for the lion^H3833? or fill^H4390 the appetite^H2416 of the young lions^H3715,⁴⁰When they couch^H7817 in their dens^H4585, and abide^H3427 in the covert^H5521 to^H3926 lie in wait^H695?⁴¹Who provideth^H3559 for the raven^H6158 his food^H6718? when his young ones^H3206 cry^H7768 unto God^H410, they wander^H8582 for lack^H1097 of meat^H400.
