Job 38:4-41

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>_?

to the heart
<07907>_?

38:37

Who can number
<05608> (8762)

<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>_.
