1Then the LORD-Yehovah (Messiah Pre-Incarnate) answered Iyov [hated] out of the whirlwind, and said,

2Who [is] this that darkens counsel by words without knowledge?

3Gird up now youⁱ waist like a man; for I will demand of youⁱ, and answer youⁱ me.

4Where were youⁱ when I laid the foundations of the earth? declare, if youⁱ have understanding.

5Who has laid the measures thereof, if youⁱ know? or who has stretched the line upon it?

6Whereupon are the foundations thereof fastened? or who laid the corner stone thereof;

7When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God-Elohim (The Living Word) [The Many Powered] shouted for joy?

8Or [who] shut up the sea with doors, when it broke forth, [as if] it had issued out of the womb?

9When I made the cloud the garment thereof, and thick darkness a swaddling clothes (cloths for wrapping infants tightly) for it,

10And broke up for it my decreed [place], and set bars and doors,

11And said, Till this point in time shall youⁱ come, but no further: and here shall youⁱ proud waves be detained (held)?

12Have youⁱ commanded the morning since youⁱ days; [and] caused the Dayspring (sunrise) to know his place;

13That it might take hold of the ends of the earth, that the wicked might be shaken out of it?

14It is turned as clay [to] the seal; and they stand as a garment.

15And from the wicked their light is withheld, and the high arm shall be broken.

16Have youⁱ entered into the springs of the sea? or have youⁱ walked in the search of the depth?

17Have the gates of death been opened unto youⁱ? or have youⁱ seen the doors of the shadow of death?

18Have youⁱ perceived the breadth of the earth? declare if youⁱ know it all.

19Where [is] the way [where] light dwells? and [as for] darkness, where [is] the place thereof,

20That youⁱ should take it to the bound thereof, and that youⁱ should know the paths [to] the house thereof?

21Know youⁱ [it], because youⁱ were then born? or [because] the number of youⁱ days [is] great?

22Have youⁱ entered into the treasures of the snow? or have youⁱ seen the treasures of the hail,

23Which I have reserved against the time of trouble, against the day of battle and war?

24By what way is the light parted, [which] scatters the east wind upon the earth?

25Who has divided a watercourse for the overflowing of waters, or a way for the lightning of thunder;

26To cause it to rain on the earth, [where] no man [is; on] the wilderness, wherein [there is] no man;

27To satisfy the desolate and waste [ground]; and to cause the bud of the tender herb to spring forth?

28Has the rain a father? or who has begotten the drops of dew?

29Out of whose womb came the ice? and the white colored (white or gray with age) frost of heaven, who has gendered it?

30The waters are hid as [with] a stone, and the face of the deep is frozen.

31Can youⁱ bind the sweet influences of Kimah (Pleiades) [a cluster], or loose the bands of Kesil (Orion) [The Fool]?

32Can youⁱ bring forth Mazzarot (constllations of the zodiac) in his season? or can youⁱ guide Arcturus [bear watcher] with his sons?

33Know youⁱ the ordinances of heaven? can youⁱ set the dominion thereof in the earth?

34Can youⁱ lift up youⁱ voice to the clouds, that abundance of waters may cover youⁱ?

35Can youⁱ send lightnings, that they may go, and say unto youⁱ, Here we [are]?

36Who has put wisdom in the inward parts? or who has given understanding to the heart?

37Who can number the clouds in wisdom? or who can stay the bottles of heaven,

38When the dust grows into hardness, and the clods cleave (split open; cut open; divide) fast together?

39Will youⁱ hunt the prey for the lion? or fill the appetite of the young lions,

40When they couch in [their] dens, [and] abide in the colonnade to lie in wait?

41Who provides for the raven his food? when his young ones cry unto God-Elohim (The Living Word) [The Many Powered], they wander for lack of meat.
