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?
38:32	Canst thou brynge forth the mornynge starre or the euenynge starre at conuenient tyme, & conueye them home agayne?
38:33	Knowest thou the course of heauen, that thou mayest set vp the ordinaunce therof vpon the erth?
38:34	Moreouer, canst thou lyft vp thy voyce to the cloudes, that they maye poore downe a greate rayne vpon the?
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?


38:1	Forsothe the Lord answeride fro the whirlewynd to Joob,
38:2	and seide, Who is this man, wlappynge sentences with vnwise wordis?
