Job 38

1 God challengeth Job to answer. 4 God, by his mighty works, convinceth Job of ignorance, 31 and of imbecility.

 38:1 ¶ Then the LORD 3068 answered 6030 z8799 x853 Job 347 out of x4480 the whirlwind, 5591 and said, 559 z8799

 38:2 Who x4310 [is] this x2088 that darkeneth 2821 z8688 counsel 6098 by words 4405 without x1097 knowledge? 1847

 38:3 Gird up 247 z8798 now x4994 thy loins 2504 like a man; 1397 for I will demand 7592 z8799 of thee, and answer 3045 z8685 thou me.

 38:4 Where 375 wast x1961 thou when I laid the foundations 3245 z8800 of the earth? 776 declare, 5046 z8685 if x518 thou hast y3045 z8804 understanding. 998 x3045

 38:5 Who x4310 hath laid 7760 z8804 the measures 4461 thereof, if x3588 thou knowest? 3045 z8799 or x176 who x4310 hath stretched 5186 z8804 the line 6957 upon x5921 it?

 38:6 Whereupon x5921 x4100 are the foundations 134 thereof fastened? 2883 z8717 or x176 who x4310 laid 3384 z8804 the corner 6438 stone 68 thereof;

 38:7 When the morning 1242 stars 3556 sang 7442 z8800 together, 3162 and all x3605 the sons 1121 of God 430 shouted y7321 z8686 for joy? x7321

 38:8 Or [who] shut up 5526 z8686 the sea 3220 with doors, 1817 when it brake forth, 1518 z8800 [as if] it had issued out 3318 z8799 of the womb? 7358 x4480

 38:9 When I made 7760 z8800 the cloud 6051 the garment 3830 thereof, and thick darkness 6205 a swaddlingband 2854 for it,

 38:10 And brake up 7665 z8799 for x5921 it my decreed 2706 [place], and set 7760 z8799 bars 1280 and doors, 1817

 38:11 And said, 559 z8799 Hitherto 5704 6311 shalt thou come, 935 z8799 but no x3808 further: 3254 z8686 and here x6311 shall thy proud 1347 waves 1530 be stayed? 7896 z8799

 38:12 Hast thou commanded 6680 z8765 the morning 1242 since thy days; 3117 x4480 [and] caused the dayspring 7837 to know 3045 z8765 his place; 4725

 38:13 That it might take hold 270 z8800 of the ends 3671 of the earth, 776 that the wicked 7563 might be shaken x5287 out y5287 z8735 of x4480 it?

 38:14 It is turned 2015 z8691 as clay 2563 [to] the seal; 2368 and they stand 3320 z8691 as x3644 a garment. 3830

 38:15 And from the wicked 7563 x4480 their light 216 is withholden, 4513 z8735 and the high 7311 z8802 arm 2220 shall be broken. 7665 z8735

 38:16 Hast thou entered 935 z8804 into x5704 the springs 5033 of the sea? 3220 or hast thou walked 1980 z8694 in the search 2714 of the depth? 8415

 38:17 Have the gates 8179 of death 4194 been opened 1540 z8738 unto thee? or hast thou seen 7200 z8799 the doors 8179 of the shadow of death? 6757

 38:18 Hast thou perceived 995 z8712 x5704 the breadth 7338 of the earth? 776 declare 5046 z8685 if x518 thou knowest 3045 z8804 it all. x3605

 38:19 Where x335 x2088 [is] the way 1870 [where] light 216 dwelleth? 7931 z8799 and [as for] darkness, 2822 where x335 x2088 [is] the place 4725 thereof,

 38:20 That x3588 thou shouldest take 3947 z8799 it to x413 the bound 1366 thereof, and that x3588 thou shouldest know 995 z8799 the paths 5410 [to] the house 1004 thereof?

 38:21 Knowest 3045 z8804 thou [it], because x3588 thou wast then x227 born? 3205 z8735 or [because] the number 4557 of thy days 3117 [is] great? 7227

 38:22 Hast thou entered 935 z8804 into x413 the treasures 214 of the snow? 7950 or hast thou seen 7200 z8799 the treasures 214 of the hail, 1259

 38:23 Which x834 I have reserved 2820 z8804 against the time 6256 of trouble, 6862 against the day 3117 of battle 7128 and war? 4421

 38:24 By what 335 x2088 way 1870 is the light 216 parted, 2505 z8735 [which] scattereth 6327 z8686 the east wind 6921 upon x5921 the earth? 776

 38:25 Who x4310 hath divided 6385 z8765 a watercourse 8585 for the overflowing of waters, 7858 or a way 1870 for the lightning 2385 of thunder; 6963

 38:26 To cause it to rain 4305 z8687 on x5921 the earth, 776 [where] no x3808 man 376 [is; on] the wilderness, 4057 wherein [there is] no x3808 man; 120

 38:27 To satisfy 7646 z8687 the desolate 7722 and waste 4875 [ground]; and to cause the bud 4161 of the tender herb 1877 to spring forth? 6779 z8687

 38:28 Hath 3426 the rain 4306 a father? 1 or x176 who x4310 hath begotten 3205 z8689 the drops 96 of dew? 2919

 38:29 Out of whose womb 990 x4480 x4310 came 3318 z8804 the ice? 7140 and the hoary frost 3713 of heaven, 8064 who x4310 hath gendered 3205 z8804 it?

 38:30 The waters 4325 are hid 2244 z8691 as [with] a stone, 68 and the face 6440 of the deep 8415 is frozen. 3920 z8691

 38:31 Canst thou bind 7194 z8762 the sweet influences 4575 of Pleiades, 3598 or x176 loose 6605 z8762 the bands 4189 of Orion? 3685

 38:32 Canst thou bring forth 3318 z8686 Mazzaroth 4216 in his season? 6256 or canst thou guide 5148 z8686 Arcturus 5906 with x5921 his sons? 1121

 38:33 Knowest 3045 z8804 thou the ordinances 2708 of heaven? 8064 canst thou set 7760 z8799 the dominion 4896 thereof in the earth? 776

 38:34 Canst thou lift up 7311 z8686 thy voice 6963 to the clouds, 5645 that abundance 8229 of waters 4325 may cover 3680 z8762 thee?

 38:35 Canst thou send 7971 z8762 lightnings, 1300 that they may go, y3212 z8799 x1980 and say 559 z8799 unto thee, Here x2009 we [are]?

 38:36 Who x4310 hath put 7896 z8804 wisdom 2451 in the inward parts? 2910 or x176 who x4310 hath given 5414 z8804 understanding 998 to the heart? 7907

 38:37 Who x4310 can number 5608 z8762 the clouds 7834 in wisdom? 2451 or who x4310 can stay 7901 z8686 the bottles 5035 of heaven, 8064

 38:38 When the dust 6083 groweth 3332 z8800 into hardness, 4165 and the clods 7263 cleave fast together? 1692 z8792

 38:39 Wilt thou hunt 6679 z8799 the prey 2964 for the lion? 3833 or fill 4390 z8762 the appetite 2416 of the young lions, 3715

 38:40 When x3588 they couch 7817 z8799 in [their] dens, 4585 [and] abide 3427 z8799 in the covert 5521 to y3926 lie in wait? 695 x3926

 38:41 Who x4310 provideth 3559 z8686 for the raven 6158 his food? 6718 when x3588 his young ones 3206 cry 7768 z8762 unto x413 God, 410 they wander 8582 z8799 for lack 1097 of meat. 400
