Bible. Job
18:038:001 Then the LORD answered Job out of the whirlwind, and said,
18:038:002 Who is this that darkeneth counsel by words without knowledge?
18:038:003 Gird up now thy loins like a man; for I will demand of thee,
and answer thou me.
18:038:004 Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth?
declare, if thou hast understanding.
18:038:005 Who hath laid the measures thereof, if thou knowest? or who
hath stretched the line upon it?
18:038:006 Whereupon are the foundations thereof fastened? or who laid
the corner stone thereof;
18:038:007 When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God
shouted for joy?
18:038:008 Or who shut up the sea with doors, when it brake forth, as if
it had issued out of the womb?
18:038:009 When I made the cloud the garment thereof, and thick darkness
a swaddlingband for it,
18:038:010 And brake up for it my decreed place, and set bars and doors,
18:038:011 And said, Hitherto shalt thou come, but no further: and here
shall thy proud waves be stayed?
18:038:012 Hast thou commanded the morning since thy days; and caused the
dayspring to know his place;
18:038:013 That it might take hold of the ends of the earth, that the
wicked might be shaken out of it?
18:038:014 It is turned as clay to the seal; and they stand as a garment.
18:038:015 And from the wicked their light is withholden, and the high
arm shall be broken.
18:038:016 Hast thou entered into the springs of the sea? or hast thou
walked in the search of the depth?
18:038:017 Have the gates of death been opened unto thee? or hast thou
seen the doors of the shadow of death?
18:038:018 Hast thou perceived the breadth of the earth? declare if thou
knowest it all.
18:038:019 Where is the way where light dwelleth? and as for darkness,
where is the place thereof,
18:038:020 That thou shouldest take it to the bound thereof, and that
thou shouldest know the paths to the house thereof?
18:038:021 Knowest thou it, because thou wast then born? or because the
number of thy days is great?
18:038:022 Hast thou entered into the treasures of the snow? or hast thou
seen the treasures of the hail,
18:038:023 Which I have reserved against the time of trouble, against the
day of battle and war?
18:038:024 By what way is the light parted, which scattereth the east
wind upon the earth?
18:038:025 Who hath divided a watercourse for the overflowing of waters,
or a way for the lightning of thunder;
18:038:026 To cause it to rain on the earth, where no man is; on the
wilderness, wherein there is no man;
18:038:027 To satisfy the desolate and waste ground; and to cause the bud
of the tender herb to spring forth?
18:038:028 Hath the rain a father? or who hath begotten the drops of dew?
