Job - Chapter: 38


38:1	Then the Lord answered Iob out of the whirlewind, and sayd,
38:2	Who is this that darkneth counsell by words without knowledge?
38:3	Gird vp nowe thy loines like a man; for I will demaund of thee, and answere thou me.
38:4	Where wast thou when I layd the foundations of the earth? Declare, if thou hast vnderstanding.
38:5	Who hath layd the measures thereof, if thou knowest? Or who hath stretched the line vpon it?
38:6	Wherepuon are the foundations thereof fastened? Or who layd the corner stone thereof?
38:7	When the morning starres sang together, and all the sonnes of God shouted for ioy.
38:8	Or who shut vp the sea with doores, when it brake foorth as if it had issued out of the wombe?
38:9	When I made the cloud the garment thereof, and thicke darknesse a swadling band for it,
38:10	And brake vp for it my decreed place, and set barres and doores,
38:11	And said, Hitherto shalt thou come, but no further: and heere shall thy proud waues be stayed.
38:12	Hast thou commaunded the morning since thy daies? And caused the day-spring to know his place,
38:13	That it might take hold of the endes of the earth, that the wicked might be shaken out of it?
38:14	It is turned as clay to the seale, and they stand as a garment.
38:15	And from the wicked their light is withholden, and the high arme shalbe broken.
38:16	Hast thou entred into the springs of the sea? Or hast thou walked in the search of the depth?
38:17	Haue the gates of death bene opened vnto thee? Or hast thou seene the doores of the shadow of death?
38:18	Hast thou perceiued the breadth of the earth? Declare if thou knowest it all.
38:19	Where is the way where light dwelleth? And as for darknesse, where is the place thereof?
38:20	That thou shouldest take it to the bound thereof, and that thou shouldest know the pathes to the house thereof.
38:21	Knowest thou it, because thou wast then borne? Or because the number of thy daies is great?
38:22	Hast thou entred into the treasures of the snowe? Or hast thou seene the treasures of the haile,
38:23	Which I haue reserued against the time of trouble, against the day of battaile and warre?
38:24	By what way is the light parted? Which scattereth the East wind vpon the earth.
38:25	Who hath diuided a water-course for the ouerflowing of waters? Or a way for the lightning of thunder,
38:26	To cause it to raine on the earth, where no man is: on the wildernesse wherein there is no man?
38:27	To satisfie the desolate and waste ground, and to cause the bud of the tender herbe to spring forth.
38:28	Hath the raine a father? Or who hath begotten the drops of dew?
38:29	Out of whose wombe came the yce? And the hoary frost of heauen, who hath gendred it?
38:30	The waters are hid as with a stone, and the face of the deepe is frozen.
38:31	Canst thou bind the sweete influences of Pleiades? Or loose the bands of Orion?
38:32	Canst thou bring forth Mazzaroth in his season, or canst thou guide Arcturus with his sonnes?
38:33	Knowest thou the ordinances of heauen? Canst thou set the dominion thereof in the earth?
38:34	Canst thou lift vp thy voice to the cloudes, that abundance of waters may couer thee?
38:35	Canst thou send lightnings, that they may goe, and say vnto thee, Here we are?
38:36	Who hath put wisedome in the inward parts? Or who hath giuen vnderstanding to the heart?
38:37	Who can number the cloudes in wisedome? Or who can stay the bottles of heauen,
38:38	When the dust groweeh into hardnesse, and the clods cleaue fast together?
38:39	Wilt thou hunt the pray for the lyon? Or fill the appetite of the young lyons,
38:40	When they couch in their dennes, and abide in the couert to lie in waite?
38:41	Who prouideth for the rauen his foode? when his young ones cry vnto God, they wander for lacke of meate.


38:1	Then answered the Lord vnto Iob out of the whirle winde, and said,
38:2	Who is this that darkeneth the counsell by wordes without knowledge?
38:3	Girde vp nowe thy loynes like a man: I will demande of thee and declare thou vnto me.
38:4	Where wast thou when I layd the foundations of the earth? declare, if thou hast vnderstanding,
38:5	Who hath layde the measures thereof, if thou knowest, or who hath stretched the line ouer it:
38:6	Whereupon are the foundations thereof set: or who layed the corner stone thereof:
38:7	When the starres of the morning praysed me together, and all the children of God reioyced:
38:8	Or who hath shut vp the Sea with doores, when it yssued and came foorth as out of the wombe:
38:9	When I made the cloudes as a couering thereof, and darkenesse as the swadeling bands thereof:
38:10	When I stablished my commandement vpon it, and set barres and doores,
38:11	And said, Hitherto shalt thou come, but no farther, and here shall it stay thy proude waues.
38:12	Hast thou commanded the morning since thy dayes? hast thou caused the morning to knowe his place,
38:13	That it might take hold of the corners of the earth, and that the wicked might be shaken out of it?
38:14	It is turned as clay to facion, and all stand vp as a garment.
38:15	And from the wicked their light shall be taken away, and the hie arme shalbe broken.
38:16	Hast thou entred into the bottomes of the sea? or hast thou walked to seeke out the depth?
38:17	Haue the gates of death bene opened vnto thee? or hast thou seene the gates of the shadowe of death?
38:18	Hast thou perceiued the breadth of the earth? tell if thou knowest all this.
38:19	Where is the way where light dwelleth? and where is the place of darkenesse,
38:20	That thou shouldest receiue it in the boundes thereof, and that thou shouldest knowe the paths to the house thereof?
38:21	Knewest thou it, because thou wast then borne, and because the nomber of thy dayes is great?
38:22	Hast thou entred into the treasures of the snow? or hast thou seene the treasures of ye haile,
38:23	Which I haue hid against the time of trouble, against the day of warre and battell?
38:24	By what way is the light parted, which scattereth the East winde vpon the earth?
38:25	Who hath deuided the spowtes for the raine? or the way for the lightning of ye thunders,
38:26	To cause it to raine on the earth where no man is, and in the wildernes where there is no man?
38:27	To fulfil the wilde and waste place, and to cause the bud of the herbe to spring forth?
38:28	Who is the father of the rayne? or who hath begotten the droppes of the dewe?
38:29	Out of whose wombe came the yee? who hath ingendred the frost of the heauen?
38:30	The waters are hid as with a stone: and the face of the depth is frosen.
38:31	Canst thou restraine the sweete influences of the Pleiades? or loose the bandes of Orion?
38:32	Canst thou bring foorth Mazzaroth in their time? canst thou also guide Arcturus with his sonnes?
38:33	Knowest thou the course of heauen, or canst thou set the rule thereof in the earth?
38:34	Canst thou lift vp thy voice to the cloudes that the aboundance of water may couer thee?
38:35	Canst thou sende the lightenings that they may walke, and say vnto thee, Loe, heere we are?
38:36	Who hath put wisedome in the reines? or who hath giuen the heart vnderstanding?
38:37	Who can nomber cloudes by wisedome? or who can cause to cease the bottels of heaue,
38:38	When the earth groweth into hardnesse, and the clottes are fast together?

38:1	Then answered the Lorde vnto Iob out of the storme, and sayd:
38:2	what is he that hydeth his mynde with folysh wordes?
38:3	Gyrde vp thy loynes lyke a man, for I wyll questyon wyth the, se thou geue me a directe answere.
38:4	Where wast thou, when I layde the foundacyons of the earth? Tell playnely, yf thou hast vnderstandyng.
38:5	Who hath measured it, knowest thou? Or, who hath spreade the lyne vpon it?
38:6	Where vpon stande the pyllers of it? Or, who layed the corner stone therof?
38:7	Where wast thou, when the mornyng starres praysed me together, and all the chyldren of God reioysed triumphantly?
38:8	Who shut the see wyth dores, when it brake forth as a chylde out of hys mothers wombe?
38:9	When I made the cloudes to be a coueryng for it, and swadled it with the darcke?
38:10	when I gaue it my commaundement, makyng dores and barres for it,
38:11	saying: Hyther to shalt thou come, but no farther, & here shalt thou laye downe thy proud and hye waues.
38:12	Hast thou geuen the mornynge hys charge (as sone as thou wast borne) and shewed the daye spryng hys place,
38:13	that it myght take holde of the corners of the earth, and that the vngodly myght be shaken out?
38:14	Theyr tokens and weapens are turned lyke claye, and sett vp agayne as the chaungyng of a garment.
38:15	The vngodly shalbe disapoynted of their lyght, and the arme of the proude shalbe broken.
38:16	Camest thou euer into the grounde of the see: or walkedest in the lowe corners of the depe?
38:17	Haue the gates of deeth bene opened vnto the, or hast thou sene the dores of the shadowe of death?
38:18	Hast thou also perceaued how broade the earth is? Yf thou hast knowledge of all thys,
38:19	then shew me, where lyght dwelleth, and where darcknes is:
38:20	that thou mayest brynge vs vnto theyr quarters, yf thou canst tell the waye to theyr houses.
38:21	Knewest thou (afore thou wast borne) how olde thou shuldest be?
38:22	Wentest thou euer into the treasuryes of the snowe, or hast thou sene the secrete places of the hayle,
38:23	whych I haue prepared agaynst the tyme of trouble, agaynst the tyme of batell and warre?
38:24	By what waye is the lyght parted, and into what lande breaketh the east wynde:
38:25	Who deuydeth the aboundaunce of waters into ryuers, or who maketh a waye for the lyghtenyng and thonder,
38:26	that it watereth & moystureth the drye and barengrounde:
38:27	to make the grasse growe in places where no body dwelleth, and in the wyldernes where no man remayneth?
38:28	Who is the father of rayne? Or who hath begotten the droppes of dewe?
38:29	Out of whose wombe came the yse? Who hath gendred the coldnes of the ayre?
38:30	that the waters are as harde as stones, and lye congeled aboue the depe.
38:31	Wylt thou hyndre the swete influences of the .vij. starres? Or art thou able to breke the circle of heauen?

38:35	Canst thou thondre also that they maye go theyr waye, and be obedient vnto the, sayeng: Lo here are we?
38:36	Who geueth sure wysdome or stedfast vnderstandynge?
38:37	who nombreth the cloudes in wysdome? who stylleth the vehement waters of the heauen?
38:38	who turneth the clottes to dust, & then to be clottes agayne?
38:39	Wylt thou hunt the praye from the lyon, or fede hys whelpes
38:40	lying in theyr dennes, and lurkyng in theyr couches?
38:41	who prouideth meate for the rauen, when hys yonge ones crye vnto God, and fle aboute for lack of meate?
