1
Then
the
LORD
answered
Job
out
of
the
whirlwind,
and
said,
2
Who
[is]
this
that
darkeneth
counsel
by
words
without
knowledge?
3
Gird
up
now
thy
loins
like
a
man;
for
I
will
demand
of
thee,
and
answer
thou
4
Where
wast
thou
when
I
laid
the
foundations
of
the
earth?
declare,
if
thou
hast
understanding.
5
Who
hath
laid
the
measures
thereof,
if
thou
knowest?
or
who
hath
stretched
the
line
upon
6
Whereupon
are
the
foundations
thereof
fastened?
or
who
laid
the
corner
stone
thereof;
7
When
the
morning
stars
sang
together,
and
all
the
sons
of
God
shouted
for
joy?
8
Or
[who]
shut
up
the
sea
with
doors,
when
it
brake
forth,
[as
if]
it
had
issued
out
of
the
womb?
9
When
I
made
the
cloud
the
garment
thereof,
and
thick
darkness
a
swaddlingband
for
10
And
brake
up
for
it
my
decreed
[place],
and
set
bars
and
doors,
11
And
said,
Hitherto
shalt
thou
come,
but
no
further:
and
here
shall
thy
proud
waves
be
stayed?
12
Hast
thou
commanded
the
morning
since
thy
days;
[and]
caused
the
dayspring
to
know
his
place;
13
That
it
might
take
hold
of
the
ends
of
the
earth,
that
the
wicked
might
be
shaken
out
of
14
It
is
turned
as
clay
[to]
the
seal;
and
they
stand
as
a
garment.
15
And
from
the
wicked
their
light
is
withholden,
and
the
high
arm
shall
be
broken.
16
Hast
thou
entered
into
the
springs
of
the
sea?
or
hast
thou
walked
in
the
search
of
the
depth?
17
Have
the
gates
of
death
been
opened
unto
thee?
or
hast
thou
seen
the
doors
of
the
shadow
of
death?
18
Hast
thou
perceived
the
breadth
of
the
earth?
declare
if
thou
knowest
it
all.
19
Where
[is]
the
way
[where]
light
dwelleth?
and
[as
for]
darkness,
where
[is]
the
place
thereof,
20
That
thou
shouldest
take
it
to
the
bound
thereof,
and
that
thou
shouldest
know
the
paths
[to]
the
house
thereof?
21
Knowest
thou
[it],
because
thou
wast
then
born?
or
[because]
the
number
of
thy
days
[is]
great?
22
Hast
thou
entered
into
the
treasures
of
the
snow?
or
hast
thou
seen
the
treasures
of
the
hail,
23
Which
I
have
reserved
against
the
time
of
trouble,
against
the
day
of
battle
and
war?
24
By
what
way
is
the
light
parted,
[which]
scattereth
the
east
wind
upon
the
earth?
25
Who
hath
divided
a
watercourse
for
the
overflowing
of
waters,
or
a
way
for
the
lightning
of
thunder;
26
To
cause
it
to
rain
on
the
earth,
[where]
no
man
[is;
on]
the
wilderness,
wherein
[there
is]
no
man;
27
To
satisfy
the
desolate
and
waste
[ground];
and
to
cause
the
bud
of
the
tender
herb
to
spring
forth?
28
Hath
the
rain
a
father?
or
who
hath
begotten
the
drops
of
dew?
29
Out
of
whose
womb
came
the
ice?
and
the
hoary
frost
of
heaven,
who
hath
gendered
30
The
waters
are
hid
as
[with]
a
stone,
and
the
face
of
the
deep
is
frozen.
31
Canst
thou
bind
the
sweet
influences
of
Pleiades,
or
loose
the
bands
of
Orion?
32
Canst
thou
bring
forth
Mazzaroth
in
his
season?
or
canst
thou
guide
Arcturus
with
his
sons?
33
Knowest
thou
the
ordinances
of
heaven?
canst
thou
set
the
dominion
thereof
in
the
earth?
34
Canst
thou
lift
up
thy
voice
to
the
clouds,
that
abundance
of
waters
may
cover
thee?
35
Canst
thou
send
lightnings,
that
they
may
go,
and
say
unto
thee,
Here
we
[are]?
36
Who
hath
put
wisdom
in
the
inward
parts?
or
who
hath
given
understanding
to
the
heart?
37
Who
can
number
the
clouds
in
wisdom?
or
who
can
stay
the
bottles
of
heaven,
38
When
the
dust
groweth
into
hardness,
and
the
clods
cleave
fast
together?
39
Wilt
thou
hunt
the
prey
for
the
lion?
or
fill
the
appetite
of
the
young
lions,
40
When
they
couch
in
[their]
dens,
[and]
abide
in
the
covert
to
lie
in
wait?
41
Who
provideth
for
the
raven
his
food?
when
his
young
ones
cry
unto
God,
they
wander
for
lack
of
meat.
