Job paste

1 ¶ Then the LORD <03068>

answered <06030>

(8799) Job <0347>

out of the whirlwind <05591>

, and said <0559>

(8799),

2 Who is this that darkeneth <02821>

(8688) counsel <06098>

by words <04405>

without knowledge <01847>

?

3 Gird up <0247>

(8798) now thy loins <02504>

like a man <01397>

for I will demand <07592>

(8799) of thee, and answer <03045>

(8685) thou me.

4 ¶ Where <0375>

wast thou when I laid the foundations <03245>

(8800) of the earth <0776>

? declare <05046>

(8685), if thou hast <03045>

(8804) understanding <0998>

.

5 Who hath laid <07760>

(8804) the measures <04461>

thereof, if thou knowest <03045>

(8799)? or who hath stretched <05186>

(8804) the line <06957>

upon it?

6 Whereupon are the foundations <0134>

thereof fastened <02883>

(8717)? or who laid <03384>

(8804) the corner <06438>

stone <068>

thereof;

7 When the morning <01242>

stars <03556>

sang <07442>

(8800) together <03162>

, and all the sons <01121>

of God <0430>

shouted <07321>

(8686) for joy?

8 Or who shut up <05526>

(8686) the sea <03220>

with doors <01817>

, when it brake forth <01518>

(8800), as if it had issued out <03318>

(8799) of the womb <07358>

?

9 When I made <07760>

(8800) the cloud <06051>

the garment <03830>

thereof, and thick darkness <06205>

a swaddlingband <02854>

for it,

10 And brake up <07665>

(8799) for it my decreed <02706>

place, and set <07760>

(8799) bars <01280>

and doors <01817>

,

11 And said <0559>

(8799), Hitherto <05704>

<06311>

shalt thou come <0935>

(8799), but no further <03254>

(8686): and here shall thy proud <01347>

waves <01530>

be stayed <07896>

(8799)?

12 ¶ Hast thou commanded <06680>

(8765) the morning <01242>

since thy days <03117>

and caused the dayspring <07837>

to know <03045>

(8765) his place <04725>

13 That it might take hold <0270>

(8800) of the ends <03671>

of the earth <0776>

, that the wicked <07563>

might be shaken out <05287>

(8735) of it?

14 It is turned <02015>

(8691) as clay <02563>

to the seal <02368>

and they stand <03320>

(8691) as a garment <03830>

.

15 And from the wicked <07563>

their light <0216>

is withholden <04513>

(8735), and the high <07311>

(8802) arm <02220>

shall be broken <07665>

(8735).

16 Hast thou entered <0935>

(8804) into the springs <05033>

of the sea <03220>

? or hast thou walked <01980>

(8694) in the search <02714>

of the depth <08415>

?

17 Have the gates <08179>

of death <04194>

been opened <01540>

(8738) unto thee? or hast thou seen <07200>

(8799) the doors <08179>

of the shadow of death <06757>

?

18 Hast thou perceived <0995>

(8712) the breadth <07338>

of the earth <0776>

? declare <05046>

(8685) if thou knowest <03045>

(8804) it all.

19 Where is the way <01870>

where light <0216>

dwelleth <07931>

(8799)? and as for darkness <02822>

, where is the place <04725>

thereof,

20 That thou shouldest take <03947>

(8799) it to the bound <01366>

thereof, and that thou shouldest know <0995>

(8799) the paths <05410>

to the house <01004>

thereof?

21 Knowest <03045>

(8804) thou it, because thou wast then born <03205>

(8735)? or because the number <04557>

of thy days <03117>

is great <07227>

?

22 Hast thou entered <0935>

(8804) into the treasures <0214>

of the snow <07950>

? or hast thou seen <07200>

(8799) the treasures <0214>

of the hail <01259>

,

23 Which I have reserved <02820>

(8804) against the time <06256>

of trouble <06862>

, against the day <03117>

of battle <07128>

and war <04421>

?

24 By what <0335>

way <01870>

is the light <0216>

parted <02505>

(8735), which scattereth <06327>

(8686) the east wind <06921>

upon the earth <0776>

?

25 ¶ Who hath divided <06385>

(8765) a watercourse <08585>

for the overflowing of waters <07858>

, or a way <01870>

for the lightning <02385>

of thunder <06963>

26 To cause it to rain <04305>

(8687) on the earth <0776>

, where no man <0376>

is; on the wilderness <04057>

, wherein there is no man <0120>

27 To satisfy <07646>

(8687) the desolate <07722>

and waste <04875>

ground; and to cause the bud <04161>

of the tender herb <01877>

to spring forth <06779>

(8687)?

28 Hath <03426>

the rain <04306>

a father <01>

? or who hath begotten <03205>

(8689) the drops <096>

of dew <02919>

?

29 Out of whose womb <0990>

came <03318>

(8804) the ice <07140>

? and the hoary frost <03713>

of heaven <08064>

, who hath gendered <03205>

(8804) it?

30 The waters <04325>

are hid <02244>

(8691) as with a stone <068>

, and the face <06440>

of the deep <08415>

is frozen <03920>

(8691).

31 Canst thou bind <07194>

(8762) the sweet influences <04575>

of Pleiades <03598>

, or loose <06605>

(8762) the bands <04189>

of Orion <03685>

?

32 Canst thou bring forth <03318>

(8686) Mazzaroth <04216>

in his season <06256>

? or canst thou guide <05148>

(8686) Arcturus <05906>

with his sons <01121>

?

33 Knowest <03045>

(8804) thou the ordinances <02708>

of heaven <08064>

? canst thou set <07760>

(8799) the dominion <04896>

thereof in the earth <0776>

?

34 Canst thou lift up <07311>

(8686) thy voice <06963>

to the clouds <05645>

, that abundance <08229>

of waters <04325>

may cover <03680>

(8762) thee?

35 Canst thou send <07971>

(8762) lightnings <01300>

, that they may go <03212>

(8799), and say <0559>

(8799) unto thee, Here we are?

36 Who hath put <07896>

(8804) wisdom <02451>

in the inward parts <02910>

? or who hath given <05414>

(8804) understanding <0998>

to the heart <07907>

?

37 Who can number <05608>

(8762) the clouds <07834>

in wisdom <02451>

? or who can stay <07901>

(8686) the bottles <05035>

of heaven <08064>

,

38 When the dust <06083>

groweth <03332>

(8800) into hardness <04165>

, and the clods <07263>

cleave fast together <01692>

(8792)?

39 Wilt thou hunt <06679>

(8799) the prey <02964>

for the lion <03833>

? or fill <04390>

(8762) the appetite <02416>

of the young lions <03715>

,

40 When they couch <07817>

(8799) in their dens <04585>

, and abide <03427>

(8799) in the covert <05521>

to <03926>

lie in wait <0695>

?

41 Who provideth <03559>

(8686) for the raven <06158>

his food <06718>

? when his young ones <03206>

cry <07768>

(8762) unto God <0410>

, they wander <08582>

(8799) for lack <01097>

of meat <0400>

.
