| 38:1 |  hen the Lord answered Iob out of the whirlewind, and sayd, |
|
| 38:2 | Who is this that darkneth counsell by words without knowledge? | |
| 38:3 | Gird vp nowe thy loines like a man; for I will demaund of thee, and answere thou me. |
 |
| 38:4 | Where wast thou when I layd the foundations of the earth? Declare, if thou hast vnderstanding. |
|
| 38:5 | Who hath layd the measures thereof, if thou knowest? Or who hath stretched the line vpon it? | |
| 38:6 | Wherepuon are the foundations thereof fastened? Or who layd the corner stone thereof? |
|
| 38:7 | When the morning starres sang together, and all the sonnes of God shouted for ioy. | |
| 38:8 | Or who shut vp the sea with doores, when it brake foorth as if it had issued out of the wombe? | |
| 38:9 | When I made the cloud the garment thereof, and thicke darknesse a swadling band for it, | |
| 38:10 | And brake vp for it my decreed place, and set barres and doores, |
|
| 38:11 | And said, Hitherto shalt thou come, but no further: and heere shall thy proud waues be stayed. |
|
| 38:12 | Hast thou commaunded the morning since thy daies? and caused the day-spring to know his place, | |
| 38:13 | That it might take hold of the endes of the earth, that the wicked might be shaken out of it? |
|
| 38:14 | It is turned as clay to the seale, and they stand as a garment. | |
| 38:15 | And from the wicked their light is withholden, and the high arme shalbe broken. | |
| 38:16 | Hast thou entred into the springs of the sea? Or hast thou walked in the search of the depth? | |
| 38:17 | Haue the gates of death bene opened vnto thee? Or hast thou seene the doores of the shadow of death? | |
| 38:18 | Hast thou perceiued the breadth of the earth? Declare if thou knowest it all. | |
| 38:19 | Where is the way where light dwelleth? And as for darknesse, where is the place thereof? | |
| 38:20 | That thou shouldest take it to the bound thereof, and that thou shouldest know the pathes to the house thereof. |
|
| 38:21 | Knowest thou it, because thou wast then borne? Or because the number of thy daies is great? | |
| 38:22 | Hast thou entred into the treasures of the snowe? Or hast thou seene the treasures of the haile, | |
| 38:23 | Which I haue reserued against the time of trouble, against the day of battaile and warre? | |
| 38:24 | By what way is the light parted? which scattereth the East wind vpon the earth. | |
| 38:25 | Who hath diuided a water-course for the ouerflowing of waters? Or a way for the lightning of thunder, | |
| 38:26 | To cause it to raine on the earth, where no man is: on the wildernesse wherein there is no man? | |
| 38:27 | To satisfie the desolate and waste ground, and to cause the bud of the tender herbe to spring forth. | |
| 38:28 | Hath the raine a father? Or who hath begotten the drops of dew? | |
| 38:29 | Out of whose wombe came the yce? And the hoary frost of heauen, who hath gendred it? | |
| 38:30 | The waters are hid as with a stone, and the face of the deepe is frozen. |
|
| 38:31 | Canst thou bind the sweete influences of Pleiades? Or loose the bands of Orion? |
|
| 38:32 | Canst thou bring forth Mazzaroth in his season, or canst thou guide Arcturus with his sonnes? |
|
| 38:33 | Knowest thou the ordinances of heauen? Canst thou set the dominion thereof in the earth? | |
| 38:34 | Canst thou lift vp thy voice to the cloudes, that abundance of waters may couer thee? | |
| 38:35 | Canst thou send lightnings, that they may goe, and say vnto thee, Here we are? |
|
| 38:36 | Who hath put wisedome in the inward parts? Or who hath giuen vnderstanding to the heart? | |
| 38:37 | Who can number the cloudes in wisedome? Or who can stay the bottles of heauen, |
|
| 38:38 | When the dust groweeh into hardnesse, and the clods cleaue fast together? |
|
| 38:39 | Wilt thou hunt the pray for the lyon? Or fill the appetite of the young lyons, |
|
| 38:40 | When they couch in their dennes, and abide in the couert to lie in waite? | |
| 38:41 | Who prouideth for the rauen his foode? when his young ones cry vnto God, they wander for lacke of meate. | |
