| 1[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 1The LORD responded to Job from the whirlwind and said: |
| 2[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 2"Who is this who keeps darkening my counsel without knowing what he's talking about? |
| 3[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 3Stand up like a man! I'll ask you some questions, and you give me some answers!" |
| 4[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 4"Where were you when I laid the foundation of my earth? Tell me, since you're so informed! |
| 5[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 5Who set its measurement? Am I to assume you know? Who stretched a boundary line over it? |
| 6[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 6On what were its bases set? Who laid its corner stone |
| 7[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 7while the morning stars sang together and all the divine beings shouted joyfully? |
| 8[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 8"Who enclosed the sea with limits when it gushed out of the womb, |
| 9[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 9when I made clouds to be its clothes and thick darkness its swaddling blanket, |
| 10[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 10when I proscribed a boundary for it, set in place bars and doors for it; |
| 11[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 11and said, 'You may come only this far and no more. Your majestic waves will stop here.'? |
| 12[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 12"Have you ever commanded the morning at any time during your life? Do you know where the dawn lives, |
| 13[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 13where it seizes the edge of the earth and shakes the wicked out of it? |
| 14[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 14Like clay is molded by a signet ring, the earth's hills and valleys then stand out like the colors of a garment. |
| 15[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 15Then from the wicked their light is withheld and their upraised arm is broken. |
| 16[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 16"Have you been to the source of the sea and walked about in the recesses of the deepest ocean? |
| 17[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 17Have the gates of death been revealed to you? Have you seen the gates of the deepest darkness? |
| 18[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 18Do you understand the breadth of the earth? Tell me, since you know it all! |
| 19[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 19"Where is the road to where the light lives? Or where does the darkness live? |
| 20[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 20Can you take it to its homeland, since you know the path to his house? |
| 21[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 21You should know! After all, you had been born back then, so the number of your days is great! |
| 22[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 22"Have you entered the storehouses of the snow or seen where the hail is stored, |
| 23[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 23which I've reserved for the tribulation to come, for the day of battle and war? |
| 24[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 24Where is the lightning diffused or the east wind scattered around the earth? |
| 25[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 25"Who cuts canals for storm floods, and paths for the lightning and thunder, |
| 26[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 26to bring rain upon a land without inhabitants, a desert in which no human beings live, |
| 27[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 27to satisfy a desolate and devastated desert, causing it to sprout vegetation? |
| 28[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 28"Does the rain have a father? Who fathered the dew? |
| 29[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 29Whose womb brings forth the ice? Who gives birth to frost out of an empty sky, |
| 30[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 30when water solidifies like stone and the surface of the deepest sea freezes? |
| 31[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 31"Can you bind the chains of Pleiades or loosen the cords of Orion? |
| 32[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 32Can you bring out constellations in their season? Can you guide the Bear with her cubs? |
| 33[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 33Do you know the laws of the heavens? Can you regulate their authority over the earth? |
| 34[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 34"Can you call out to the clouds, so that abundant water drenches you? |
| 35[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 35Can you command the lightning, so that it goes forth and calls to you, 'Look at us!' |
| 36[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 36"Who sets wisdom within you, or imbues your mind with understanding? |
| 37[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 37Who has the wisdom to be able to count the clouds, or to empty the water jars of heaven, |
| 38[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 38when dust dries into a mass and then breaks apart into clods? |
| 39[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 39"Can you hunt prey for the lioness to satisfy young lions |
| 40[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 40when they crouch in their dens and lie in ambush in their lairs? |
| 41[an error occurred while processing this directive] | 41Who prepares food for the raven, when its offspring cry out to God as they wander for lack of food?" |
