Job 38:1--40:2

38:1

Then the LORD
<03068>

answered
<06030> (8799)

Job
<0347>

out of the whirlwind
<05591>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

38:2

Who [is] this that darkeneth
<02821> (8688)

counsel
<06098>

by words
<04405>

without knowledge
<01847>_?

38:3

Gird up
<0247> (8798)

now thy loins
<02504>

like a man
<01397>_;

for I will demand
<07592> (8799)

of thee, and answer
<03045> (8685)

thou me. {answer...: Heb. make me know}

38:4

Where
<0375>

wast thou when I laid the foundations
<03245> (8800)

of the earth
<0776>_?

declare
<05046> (8685)_,

if thou hast
<03045> (8804)

understanding
<0998>_.

{hast...: Heb. knowest understanding}

38:5

Who hath laid
<07760> (8804)

the measures
<04461>

thereof, if thou knowest
<03045> (8799)_?

or who hath stretched
<05186> (8804)

the line
<06957>

upon it?

38:6

Whereupon are the foundations
<0134>

thereof fastened
<02883> (8717)_?

or who laid
<03384> (8804)

the corner
<06438>

stone
<068>

thereof; {foundations: Heb. sockets} {fastened: Heb. made to sink?}

38:7

When the morning
<01242>

stars
<03556>

sang
<07442> (8800)

together
<03162>_,

and all the sons
<01121>

of God
<0430>

shouted
<07321> (8686)

for joy?

38:8

Or [who] shut up
<05526> (8686)

the sea
<03220>

with doors
<01817>_,

when it brake forth
<01518> (8800)_,

[as if] it had issued out
<03318> (8799)

of the womb
<07358>_?

38:9

When I made
<07760> (8800)

the cloud
<06051>

the garment
<03830>

thereof, and thick darkness
<06205>

a swaddlingband
<02854>

for it,

38:10

And brake up
<07665> (8799)

for it my decreed
<02706>

[place], and set
<07760> (8799)

bars
<01280>

and doors
<01817>_,

{brake...: or, established my decree upon it}

38:11

And said
<0559> (8799)_,

Hitherto
<05704> <06311>

shalt thou come
<0935> (8799)_,

but no further
<03254> (8686)_:

and here shall thy proud
<01347>

waves
<01530>

be stayed
<07896> (8799)_?

{thy...: Heb. the pride of thy waves}

38:12

Hast thou commanded
<06680> (8765)

the morning
<01242>

since thy days
<03117>_;

[and] caused the dayspring
<07837>

to know
<03045> (8765)

his place
<04725>_;

38:13

That it might take hold
<0270> (8800)

of the ends
<03671>

of the earth
<0776>_,

that the wicked
<07563>

might be shaken out
<05287> (8735)

of it? {ends: Heb. wings}

38:14

It is turned
<02015> (8691)

as clay
<02563>

[to] the seal
<02368>_;

and they stand
<03320> (8691)

as a garment
<03830>_.

38:15

And from the wicked
<07563>

their light
<0216>

is withholden
<04513> (8735)_,

and the high
<07311> (8802)

arm
<02220>

shall be broken
<07665> (8735)_.

38:16

Hast thou entered
<0935> (8804)

into the springs
<05033>

of the sea
<03220>_?

or hast thou walked
<01980> (8694)

in the search
<02714>

of the depth
<08415>_?

38:17

Have the gates
<08179>

of death
<04194>

been opened
<01540> (8738)

unto thee? or hast thou seen
<07200> (8799)

the doors
<08179>

of the shadow of death
<06757>_?

38:18

Hast thou perceived
<0995> (8712)

the breadth
<07338>

of the earth
<0776>_?

declare
<05046> (8685)

if thou knowest
<03045> (8804)

it all.

38:19

Where [is] the way
<01870>

[where] light
<0216>

dwelleth
<07931> (8799)_?

and [as for] darkness
<02822>_,

where [is] the place
<04725>

thereof,

38:20

That thou shouldest take
<03947> (8799)

it to the bound
<01366>

thereof, and that thou shouldest know
<0995> (8799)

the paths
<05410>

[to] the house
<01004>

thereof? {to the bound: or, at, etc}

38:21

Knowest
<03045> (8804)

thou [it], because thou wast then born
<03205> (8735)_?

or [because] the number
<04557>

of thy days
<03117>

[is] great
<07227>_?

38:22

Hast thou entered
<0935> (8804)

into the treasures
<0214>

of the snow
<07950>_?

or hast thou seen
<07200> (8799)

the treasures
<0214>

of the hail
<01259>_,

38:23

Which I have reserved
<02820> (8804)

against the time
<06256>

of trouble
<06862>_,

against the day
<03117>

of battle
<07128>

and war
<04421>_?

38:24

By what
<0335>

way
<01870>

is the light
<0216>

parted
<02505> (8735)_,

[which] scattereth
<06327> (8686)

the east wind
<06921>

upon the earth
<0776>_?

38:25

Who hath divided
<06385> (8765)

a watercourse
<08585>

for the overflowing of waters
<07858>_,

or a way
<01870>

for the lightning
<02385>

of thunder
<06963>_;

38:26

To cause it to rain
<04305> (8687)

on the earth
<0776>_,

[where] no man
<0376>

[is; on] the wilderness
<04057>_,

wherein [there is] no man
<0120>_;

38:27

To satisfy
<07646> (8687)

the desolate
<07722>

and waste
<04875>

[ground]; and to cause the bud
<04161>

of the tender herb
<01877>

to spring forth
<06779> (8687)_?

38:28

Hath
<03426>

the rain
<04306>

a father
<01>_?

or who hath begotten
<03205> (8689)

the drops
<096>

of dew
<02919>_?

38:29

Out of whose womb
<0990>

came
<03318> (8804)

the ice
<07140>_?

and the hoary frost
<03713>

of heaven
<08064>_,

who hath gendered
<03205> (8804)

it?

38:30

The waters
<04325>

are hid
<02244> (8691)

as [with] a stone
<068>_,

and the face
<06440>

of the deep
<08415>

is frozen
<03920> (8691)_.

{is...: Heb. is taken}

38:31

Canst thou bind
<07194> (8762)

the sweet influences
<04575>

of Pleiades
<03598>_,

or loose
<06605> (8762)

the bands
<04189>

of Orion
<03685>_?

{Pleiades: or, the seven stars: Heb. Cimah} {Orion: Heb. Cesil?}

38:32

Canst thou bring forth
<03318> (8686)

Mazzaroth
<04216>

in his season
<06256>_?

or canst thou guide
<05148> (8686)

Arcturus
<05906>

with his sons
<01121>_?

{Mazzaroth: or, the twelve signs} {guide: Heb. guide them}

38:33

Knowest
<03045> (8804)

thou the ordinances
<02708>

of heaven
<08064>_?

canst thou set
<07760> (8799)

the dominion
<04896>

thereof in the earth
<0776>_?

38:34

Canst thou lift up
<07311> (8686)

thy voice
<06963>

to the clouds
<05645>_,

that abundance
<08229>

of waters
<04325>

may cover
<03680> (8762)

thee?

38:35

Canst thou send
<07971> (8762)

lightnings
<01300>_,

that they may go
<03212> (8799)_,

and say
<0559> (8799)

unto thee, Here we [are]? {Here...: Heb. Behold us?}

38:36

Who hath put
<07896> (8804)

wisdom
<02451>

in the inward parts
<02910>_?

or who hath given
<05414> (8804)

understanding
<0998>

to the heart
<07907>_?

38:37

Who can number
<05608> (8762)

the clouds
<07834>

in wisdom
<02451>_?

or who can stay
<07901> (8686)

the bottles
<05035>

of heaven
<08064>_,

{stay: Heb. cause to lie down}

38:38

When the dust
<06083>

groweth
<03332> (8800)

into hardness
<04165>_,

and the clods
<07263>

cleave fast together
<01692> (8792)_?

{groweth...: or, is turned into mire: Heb. is poured}

38:39

Wilt thou hunt
<06679> (8799)

the prey
<02964>

for the lion
<03833>_?

or fill
<04390> (8762)

the appetite
<02416>

of the young lions
<03715>_,

{the appetite: Heb. the life}

38:40

When they couch
<07817> (8799)

in [their] dens
<04585>_,

[and] abide
<03427> (8799)

in the covert
<05521>

to
<03926>

lie in wait
<0695>_?

38:41

Who provideth
<03559> (8686)

for the raven
<06158>

his food
<06718>_?

when his young ones
<03206>

cry
<07768> (8762)

unto God
<0410>_,

they wander
<08582> (8799)

for lack
<01097>

of meat
<0400>_.

39:1

Knowest
<03045> (8804)

thou the time
<06256>

when the wild goats
<03277>

of the rock
<05553>

bring forth
<03205> (8800)_?

[or] canst thou mark
<08104> (8799)

when the hinds
<0355>

do calve
<02342> (8790)_?

39:2

Canst thou number
<05608> (8799)

the months
<03391>

[that] they fulfil
<04390> (8762)_?

or knowest
<03045> (8804)

thou the time
<06256>

when they bring forth
<03205> (8800)_?

39:3

They bow
<03766> (8799)

themselves, they bring forth
<06398> (8762)

their young ones
<03206>_,

they cast out
<07971> (8762)

their sorrows
<02256>_.

39:4

Their young ones
<01121>

are in good liking
<02492> (8799)_,

they grow up
<07235> (8799)

with corn
<01250>_;

they go forth
<03318> (8804)_,

and return
<07725> (8804)

not unto them.

39:5

Who hath sent out
<07971> (8765)

the wild ass
<06501>

free
<02670>_?

or who hath loosed
<06605> (8765)

the bands
<04147>

of the wild ass
<06171>_?

39:6

Whose house
<01004>

I have made
<07760> (8804)

the wilderness
<06160>_,

and the barren
<04420>

land his dwellings
<04908>_.

{barren...: Heb. salt places}

39:7

He scorneth
<07832> (8799)

the multitude
<01995>

of the city
<07151>_,

neither regardeth
<08085> (8799)

he the crying
<08663>

of the driver
<05065> (8802)_.

{of the driver: Heb. of the exactor}

39:8

The range
<03491>

of the mountains
<02022>

[is] his pasture
<04829>_,

and he searcheth
<01875> (8799)

after
<0310>

every green thing
<03387>_.

39:9

Will the unicorn
<07214>

be willing
<014> (8799)

to serve
<05647> (8800)

thee, or abide
<03885> (8799)

by thy crib
<018>_?

39:10

Canst thou bind
<07194> (8799)

the unicorn
<07214>

with his band
<05688>

in the furrow
<08525>_?

or will he harrow
<07702> (8762)

the valleys
<06010>

after
<0310>

thee?

39:11

Wilt thou trust
<0982> (8799)

him, because his strength
<03581>

[is] great
<07227>_?

or wilt thou leave
<05800> (8799)

thy labour
<03018>

to him?

39:12

Wilt thou believe
<0539> (8686)

him, that he will bring home
<07725> (8686) (8675) <07725> (8799)

thy seed
<02233>_,

and gather
<0622> (8799)

[it into] thy barn
<01637>_?

39:13

[Gavest thou] the goodly
<07443>

wings
<03671>

unto the peacocks
<05965> (8738)_?

or wings
<084>

and feathers
<02624>

unto the ostrich
<05133>_?

{wings and...: or, the feathers of the stork and ostrich}

39:14

Which leaveth
<05800> (8799)

her eggs
<01000>

in the earth
<0776>_,

and warmeth
<02552> (8762)

them in dust
<06083>_,

39:15

And forgetteth
<07911> (8799)

that the foot
<07272>

may crush
<02115> (8799)

them, or that the wild
<07704>

beast
<02416>

may break
<01758> (8799)

them.

39:16

She is hardened
<07188> (8689)

against her young ones
<01121>_,

as though [they were] not
<03808>

hers: her labour
<03018>

is in vain
<07385>

without fear
<06343>_;

39:17

Because God
<0433>

hath deprived
<05382> (8689)

her of wisdom
<02451>_,

neither hath he imparted
<02505> (8804)

to her understanding
<0998>_.

39:18

What time
<06256>

she lifteth up
<04754> (8686)

herself on high
<04791>_,

she scorneth
<07832> (8799)

the horse
<05483>

and his rider
<07392> (8802)_.

39:19

Hast thou given
<05414> (8799)

the horse
<05483>

strength
<01369>_?

hast thou clothed
<03847> (8686)

his neck
<06677>

with thunder
<07483>_?

39:20

Canst thou make him afraid
<07493> (8686)

as a grasshopper
<0697>_?

the glory
<01935>

of his nostrils
<05170>

[is] terrible
<0367>_.

{terrible: Heb. terror}

39:21

He paweth
<02658> (8799)

in the valley
<06010>_,

and rejoiceth
<07797> (8799)

in [his] strength
<03581>_:

he goeth on
<03318> (8799)

to meet
<07125> (8800)

the armed men
<05402>_.

{He paweth: or, His feet dig} {the armed...: Heb. the armour}

39:22

He mocketh
<07832> (8799)

at fear
<06343>_,

and is not affrighted
<02865> (8735)_;

neither turneth he back
<07725> (8799)

from
<06440>

the sword
<02719>_.

39:23

The quiver
<0827>

rattleth
<07439> (8799)

against him, the glittering
<03851>

spear
<02595>

and the shield
<03591>_.

39:24

He swalloweth
<01572> (8762)

the ground
<0776>

with fierceness
<07494>

and rage
<07267>_:

neither believeth
<0539> (8686)

he that [it is] the sound
<06963>

of the trumpet
<07782>_.

39:25

He saith
<0559> (8799)

among
<01767>

the trumpets
<07782>_,

Ha
<01889>_,

ha
<01889>_;

and he smelleth
<07306> (8686)

the battle
<04421>

afar off
<07350>_,

the thunder
<07482>

of the captains
<08269>_,

and the shouting
<08643>_.

39:26

Doth the hawk
<05322>

fly
<082> (8686)

by thy wisdom
<0998>_,

[and] stretch
<06566> (8799)

her wings
<03671>

toward the south
<08486>_?

39:27

Doth the eagle
<05404>

mount up
<01361> (8686)

at thy command
<06310>_,

and make
<07311> (0)

her nest
<07064>

on high
<07311> (8686)_?

{at...: Heb. by thy mouth}

39:28

She dwelleth
<07931> (8799)

and abideth
<03885> (8698)

on the rock
<05553>_,

upon the crag
<08127>

of the rock
<05553>_,

and the strong place
<04686>_.

39:29

From thence she seeketh
<02658> (8804)

the prey
<0400>_,

[and] her eyes
<05869>

behold
<05027> (8686)

afar off
<07350>_.

39:30

Her young ones
<0667>

also suck up
<05966> (8762)

blood
<01818>_:

and where the slain
<02491>

[are], there [is] she
<01931>_.

40:1

Moreover the LORD
<03068>

answered
<06030> (8799)

Job
<0347>_,

and said
<0559> (8799)_,

40:2

Shall he that contendeth
<07378> (8800)

with the Almighty
<07706>

instruct
<03250>

[him]? he that reproveth
<03198> (8688)

God
<0433>_,

let him answer
<06030> (8799)

it.
