Job 38:1-9 ▼

1 And YHWH answered Job out of the whirlwind, and He said:

2 “Who is this darkening counsel with words lacking knowledge?

3 Gird up your loins now like a man, and I will question you, and you shall answer Me.

4 Where were you at my founding of the earth? Declare it if you know with understanding.

5 Who set its measurements? Surely you must know! Or who stretched over it a line?

6 On what were its bases made to sink in, or who cast the stone of its corner,

7 at the singing together by the stars of the morning, and all the sons of God shouted for joy?

8 Or who shut in the sea with doors, at its coming forth in its bursting from the womb,

9 in my setting for the cloud its garment, and for the dark cloud its swaddling band,
