THEN the LORD answered Job out of the whirlwind, and said,</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1014288">2</a>. Who is this that darkeneth counsel by words without knowledge?</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1014289">3</a>. Gird up now thy loins like a man; for I will demand of thee, and answer thou me.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1014290">4</a>. Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth?  declare, if thou hast understanding.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1014291">5</a>. Who hath laid the measures thereof, if thou knowest?  or who hath stretched the line upon it?</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1014292">6</a>. Whereupon are the foundations thereof fastened?  or who laid the corner stone thereof;</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1014293">7</a>. When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy?</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1014294">8</a>. Or who shut up the sea with doors, when it brake forth, as if it had issued out of the womb?</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1014295">9</a>. When I made the cloud the garment thereof, and thick darkness a swaddlingband for it,</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1014296">10</a>. And brake up for it my decreed place, and set bars and doors,</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1014297">11</a>. And said, Hitherto shalt thou come, but no further: and here shall thy proud waves be stayed?</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1014298">12</a>. Hast thou commanded the morning since thy days; and caused the dayspring to know his place;</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1014299">13</a>. That it might take hold of the ends of the earth, that the wicked might be shaken out of it?</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1014300">14</a>. It is turned as clay to the seal; and they stand as a garment.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1014301">15</a>. And from the wicked their light is withholden, and the high arm shall be broken.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1014302">16</a>. Hast thou entered into the springs of the sea?  or hast thou walked in the search of the depth?</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1014303">17</a>. Have the gates of death been opened unto thee?  or hast thou seen the doors of the shadow of death?</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1014304">18</a>. Hast thou perceived the breadth of the earth?  declare if thou knowest it all.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1014305">19</a>. Where is the way where light dwelleth?  and as for darkness, where is the place thereof,</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1014306">20</a>. That thou shouldest take it to the bound thereof, and that thou shouldest know the paths to the house thereof?</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1014307">21</a>. Knowest thou it, because thou wast then born?  or because the number of thy days is great?</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1014308">22</a>. Hast thou entered into the treasures of the snow?  or hast thou seen the treasures of the hail,</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1014309">23</a>. Which I have reserved against the time of trouble, against the day of battle and war?</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1014310">24</a>. By what way is the light parted, which scattereth the east wind upon the earth?</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1014311">25</a>. Who hath divided a watercourse for the overflowing of waters, or a way for the lightning of thunder;</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1014312">26</a>. To cause it to rain on the earth, where no man is; on the wilderness, wherein there is no man;</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1014313">27</a>. To satisfy the desolate and waste ground; and to cause the bud of the tender herb to spring forth?</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1014314">28</a>. Hath the rain a father?  or who hath begotten the drops of dew?</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1014315">29</a>. Out of whose womb came the ice?  and the hoary frost of heaven, who hath gendered it?</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1014316">30</a>. The waters are hid as with a stone, and the face of the deep is frozen.</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1014317">31</a>. Canst thou bind the sweet influences of Pleiades, or loose the bands of Orion?</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1014318">32</a>. Canst thou bring forth Mazzaroth in his season?  or canst thou guide Arcturus with his sons?</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1014319">33</a>. Knowest thou the ordinances of heaven?  canst thou set the dominion thereof in the earth?</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1014320">34</a>. Canst thou lift up thy voice to the clouds, that abundance of waters may cover thee?</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1014321">35</a>. Canst thou send lightnings, that they may go, and say unto thee, Here we are?</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1014322">36</a>. Who hath put wisdom in the inward parts?  or who hath given understanding to the heart?</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1014323">37</a>. Who can number the clouds in wisdom?  or who can stay the bottles of heaven,</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1014324">38</a>. When the dust groweth into hardness, and the clods cleave fast together?</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1014325">39</a>. Wilt thou hunt the prey for the lion?  or fill the appetite of the young lions,</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1014326">40</a>. When they couch in their dens, and abide in the covert to lie in wait?</li>
<li class="scripturelog_verse_list_item"><a href="?page_id=1014327">41</a>. Who provideth for the raven his food?  when his young ones cry unto God, they wander for lack of meat.</li>
