Job 38
Book of Job
Job 38:1 Then the Lord answered Job out of the whirlwind, and said,
-
After 38 charters God talks to Joe
2 Who is this that darkeneth counsel by words without knowledge?
-
God is saying, why are you listen to men without
knowledge?
3 Gird up now thy loins like a man; for I will demand of thee, and
answer thou me.
-
God says, get up Job and start acting like a man
-
Stop listen to these men, that have no knowledge
4 Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth? declare, if
thou hast understanding.
5 Who hath laid the measures thereof, if thou knowest? or who hath
stretched the line upon it?
6 Whereupon are the foundations thereof fastened? or who laid the corner
stone thereof;
7 When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted
for joy?
-
Morning stars sang together, and all the sons of
God
8 Or who shut up the sea with doors, when it brake forth, as if it had
issued out of the womb?
9 When I made the cloud the garment thereof, and thick darkness a
swaddling band for it,
10 And brake up for it my decreed place, and set bars and doors,
11 And said, Hitherto shalt thou come, but no further: and here shall
thy proud waves be stayed?
12 Hast thou commanded the morning since thy days; and caused the
dayspring to know his place;
13 That it might take hold of the ends of the earth, that the wicked
might be shaken out of it?
14 It is turned as clay to the seal; and they stand as a garment.
15 And from the wicked their light is withholden, and the high arm shall
be broken.
16 Hast thou entered into the springs of the sea? or hast thou walked in
the search of the depth?
17 Have the gates of death been opened unto thee? or hast thou seen the
doors of the shadow of death?
18 Hast thou perceived the breadth of the earth? declare if thou knowest
it all.
19 Where is the way where light dwelleth? and as for darkness, where is
the place thereof,
20 That thou shouldest take it to the bound thereof, and that thou
shouldest know the paths to the house thereof?
21 Knowest thou it, because thou wast then born? or because the number
of thy days is great?
22 Hast thou entered into the treasures of the snow? or hast thou seen
the treasures of the hail,
23 Which I have reserved against the time of trouble, against the day of
battle and war?
24 By what way is the light parted, which scattereth the east wind upon
the earth?
25 Who hath divided a watercourse for the overflowing of waters, or a
way for the lightning of thunder;
26 To cause it to rain on the earth, where no man is; on the wilderness,
wherein there is no man;
27 To satisfy the desolate and waste ground; and to cause the bud of the
tender herb to spring forth?
28 Hath the rain a father? or who hath begotten the drops of dew?
29 Out of whose womb came the ice? and the hoary frost of heaven, who
hath gendered it?
30 The waters are hid as with a stone, and the face of the deep is
frozen.
31 Canst thou bind the sweet influences of Pleiades, or loose the bands
of Orion?
32 Canst thou bring forth Mazzaroth in his season? or canst thou guide
Arcturus with his sons?
33 Knowest thou the ordinances of heaven? canst thou set the dominion
thereof in the earth?
34 Canst thou lift up thy voice to the clouds, that abundance of waters
may cover thee?
35 Canst thou send lightnings, that they may go, and say unto thee, Here
we are?
-
God said, can you speak to the clouds' and make
rain?
36 Who hath put wisdom in the inward parts? or who hath given
understanding to the heart?
-
God gives wisdom and understanding to man.
37 Who can number the clouds in wisdom? or who can stay the bottles of
heaven,
38 When the dust groweth into hardness, and the clods cleave fast
together?
39 Wilt thou hunt the prey for the lion? or fill the appetite of the
young lions,
41 Who provideth for the raven his food? when his young ones cry unto
God, they wander for lack of meat.
