1Then the LORD answered Job out of the whirlwind, and said,studyinterlinear

2Who is this that darkeneth counsel by words without knowledge?studyinterlinear

3Gird up now thy loins like a man; for I will demand of thee, and answer thou me.studyinterlinear

4Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth? declare, if thou hast understanding.studyinterlinear

5Who hath laid the measures thereof, if thou knowest? or who hath stretched the line upon it?studyinterlinear

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

7When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy?studyinterlinear

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

9When I made the cloud the garment thereof, and thick darkness a swaddlingband for it,studyinterlinear

10And brake up for it my decreed place, and set bars and doors,studyinterlinear

11And said, Hitherto shalt thou come, but no further: and here shall thy proud waves be stayed?studyinterlinear

12Hast thou commanded the morning since thy days; and caused the dayspring to know his place;studyinterlinear

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

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

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

16Hast thou entered into the springs of the sea? or hast thou walked in the search of the depth?studyinterlinear

17Have the gates of death been opened unto thee? or hast thou seen the doors of the shadow of death?studyinterlinear

18Hast thou perceived the breadth of the earth? declare if thou knowest it all.studyinterlinear

19Where is the way where light dwelleth? and as for darkness, where is the place thereof,studyinterlinear

20That thou shouldest take it to the bound thereof, and that thou shouldest know the paths to the house thereof?studyinterlinear

21Knowest thou it, because thou wast then born? or because the number of thy days is great?studyinterlinear

22Hast thou entered into the treasures of the snow? or hast thou seen the treasures of the hail,studyinterlinear

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

24By what way is the light parted, which scattereth the east wind upon the earth?studyinterlinear

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

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

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

28Hath the rain a father? or who hath begotten the drops of dew?studyinterlinear

29Out of whose womb came the ice? and the hoary frost of heaven, who hath gendered it?studyinterlinear

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

31Canst thou bind the sweet influences of Pleiades, or loose the bands of Orion?studyinterlinear

32Canst thou bring forth Mazzaroth in his season? or canst thou guide Arcturus with his sons?studyinterlinear

33Knowest thou the ordinances of heaven? canst thou set the dominion thereof in the earth?studyinterlinear

34Canst thou lift up thy voice to the clouds, that abundance of waters may cover thee?studyinterlinear

35Canst thou send lightnings, that they may go, and say unto thee, Here we are?studyinterlinear

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

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

38When the dust groweth into hardness, and the clods cleave fast together?studyinterlinear

39Wilt thou hunt the prey for the lion? or fill the appetite of the young lions,studyinterlinear

40When they couch in their dens, and abide in the covert to lie in wait?studyinterlinear

41Who provideth for the raven his food? when his young ones cry unto God, they wander for lack of meat.studyinterlinear
