Bible. Job
18:038:029 Out of whose womb came the ice? and the hoary frost of heaven,
who hath gendered it?
18:038:030 The waters are hid as with a stone, and the face of the deep
is frozen.
18:038:031 Canst thou bind the sweet influences of Pleiades, or loose the
bands of Orion?
18:038:032 Canst thou bring forth Mazzaroth in his season? or canst thou
guide Arcturus with his sons?
18:038:033 Knowest thou the ordinances of heaven? canst thou set the
dominion thereof in the earth?
18:038:034 Canst thou lift up thy voice to the clouds, that abundance of
waters may cover thee?
18:038:035 Canst thou send lightnings, that they may go and say unto
thee, Here we are?
18:038:036 Who hath put wisdom in the inward parts? or who hath given
understanding to the heart?
18:038:037 Who can number the clouds in wisdom? or who can stay the
bottles of heaven,
18:038:038 When the dust groweth into hardness, and the clods cleave fast
together?
18:038:039 Wilt thou hunt the prey for the lion? or fill the appetite of
the young lions,
18:038:040 When they couch in their dens, and abide in the covert to lie
in wait?
18:038:041 Who provideth for the raven his food? when his young ones cry
unto God, they wander for lack of meat.
18:039:001 Knowest thou the time when the wild goats of the rock bring
forth? or canst thou mark when the hinds do calve?
18:039:002 Canst thou number the months that they fulfil? or knowest thou
the time when they bring forth?
18:039:003 They bow themselves, they bring forth their young ones, they
cast out their sorrows.
18:039:004 Their young ones are in good liking, they grow up with corn;
they go forth, and return not unto them.
18:039:005 Who hath sent out the wild ass free? or who hath loosed the
bands of the wild ass?
18:039:006 Whose house I have made the wilderness, and the barren land
his dwellings.
18:039:007 He scorneth the multitude of the city, neither regardeth he
the crying of the driver.
18:039:008 The range of the mountains is his pasture, and he searcheth
after every green thing.
18:039:009 Will the unicorn be willing to serve thee, or abide by thy
crib?
18:039:010 Canst thou bind the unicorn with his band in the furrow? or
will he harrow the valleys after thee?
18:039:011 Wilt thou trust him, because his strength is great? or wilt
thou leave thy labour to him?
18:039:012 Wilt thou believe him, that he will bring home thy seed, and
gather it into thy barn?
18:039:013 Gavest thou the goodly wings unto the peacocks? or wings and
feathers unto the ostrich?
18:039:014 Which leaveth her eggs in the earth, and warmeth them in dust,
18:039:015 And forgetteth that the foot may crush them, or that the wild
beast may break them.
