Then the LORDH3068 answeredH6030 JobH347 out of the whirlwindH5591, and saidH559,
Who is this that darkenethH2821 counselH6098 by wordsH4405 without knowledgeH1847?
Gird upH247 now thy loinsH2504 like a manH1397; for I will demandH7592 of thee, and answerH3045 thou me. {answer…: Heb. make me know}
WhereH375 wast thou when I laid the foundationsH3245 of the earthH776? declareH5046, if thou hastH3045 understandingH998. {hast…: Heb. knowest understanding}
Who hath laidH7760 the measuresH4461 thereof, if thou knowestH3045? or who hath stretchedH5186 the lineH6957 upon it?
Whereupon are the foundationsH134 thereof fastenedH2883? or who laidH3384 the cornerH6438 stoneH68 thereof; {foundations: Heb. sockets} {fastened: Heb. made to sink?}
When the morningH1242 starsH3556 sangH7442 togetherH3162, and all the sonsH1121 of GodH430 shoutedH7321 for joy?
Or who shut upH5526 the seaH3220 with doorsH1817, when it brake forthH1518, as if it had issued outH3318 of the wombH7358?
When I madeH7760 the cloudH6051 the garmentH3830 thereof, and thick darknessH6205 a swaddlingbandH2854 for it,
And brake upH7665 for it my decreedH2706 place, and setH7760 barsH1280 and doorsH1817, {brake…: or, established my decree upon it}
And saidH559, HithertoH5704+H6311 shalt thou comeH935, but no furtherH3254: and here shall thy proudH1347 wavesH1530 be stayedH7896? {thy…: Heb. the pride of thy waves}
Hast thou commandedH6680 the morningH1242 since thy daysH3117; and caused the dayspringH7837 to knowH3045 his placeH4725;
That it might take holdH270 of the endsH3671 of the earthH776, that the wickedH7563 might be shaken outH5287 of it? {ends: Heb. wings}
It is turnedH2015 as clayH2563 to the sealH2368; and they standH3320 as a garmentH3830.
And from the wickedH7563 their lightH216 is withholdenH4513, and the highH7311 armH2220 shall be brokenH7665.
Hast thou enteredH935 into the springsH5033 of the seaH3220? or hast thou walkedH1980 in the searchH2714 of the depthH8415?
Have the gatesH8179 of deathH4194 been openedH1540 unto thee? or hast thou seenH7200 the doorsH8179 of the shadow of deathH6757?
Hast thou perceivedH995 the breadthH7338 of the earthH776? declareH5046 if thou knowestH3045 it all.
Where is the wayH1870 where lightH216 dwellethH7931? and as for darknessH2822, where is the placeH4725 thereof,
That thou shouldest takeH3947 it to the boundH1366 thereof, and that thou shouldest knowH995 the pathsH5410 to the houseH1004 thereof? {to the bound: or, at, etc}
KnowestH3045 thou it, because thou wast then bornH3205? or because the numberH4557 of thy daysH3117 is greatH7227?
Hast thou enteredH935 into the treasuresH214 of the snowH7950? or hast thou seenH7200 the treasuresH214 of the hailH1259,
Which I have reservedH2820 against the timeH6256 of troubleH6862, against the dayH3117 of battleH7128 and warH4421?
By whatH335 wayH1870 is the lightH216 partedH2505, which scatterethH6327 the east windH6921 upon the earthH776?
Who hath dividedH6385 a watercourseH8585 for the overflowing of watersH7858, or a wayH1870 for the lightningH2385 of thunderH6963;
To cause it to rainH4305 on the earthH776, where no manH376 is; on the wildernessH4057, wherein there is no manH120;
To satisfyH7646 the desolateH7722 and wasteH4875 ground; and to cause the budH4161 of the tender herbH1877 to spring forthH6779?
HathH3426 the rainH4306 a fatherH1? or who hath begottenH3205 the dropsH96 of dewH2919?
Out of whose wombH990 cameH3318 the iceH7140? and the hoary frostH3713 of heavenH8064, who hath genderedH3205 it?
The watersH4325 are hidH2244 as with a stoneH68, and the faceH6440 of the deepH8415 is frozenH3920. {is…: Heb. is taken}
Canst thou bindH7194 the sweet influencesH4575 of PleiadesH3598, or looseH6605 the bandsH4189 of OrionH3685? {Pleiades: or, the seven stars: Heb. Cimah} {Orion: Heb. Cesil?}
Canst thou bring forthH3318 MazzarothH4216 in his seasonH6256? or canst thou guideH5148 ArcturusH5906 with his sonsH1121? {Mazzaroth: or, the twelve signs} {guide: Heb. guide them}
KnowestH3045 thou the ordinancesH2708 of heavenH8064? canst thou setH7760 the dominionH4896 thereof in the earthH776?
Canst thou lift upH7311 thy voiceH6963 to the cloudsH5645, that abundanceH8229 of watersH4325 may coverH3680 thee?
Canst thou sendH7971 lightningsH1300, that they may goH3212, and sayH559 unto thee, Here we are? {Here…: Heb. Behold us?}
Who hath putH7896 wisdomH2451 in the inward partsH2910? or who hath givenH5414 understandingH998 to the heartH7907?
Who can numberH5608 the cloudsH7834 in wisdomH2451? or who can stayH7901 the bottlesH5035 of heavenH8064, {stay: Heb. cause to lie down}
When the dustH6083 growethH3332 into hardnessH4165, and the clodsH7263 cleave fast togetherH1692? {groweth…: or, is turned into mire: Heb. is poured}
Wilt thou huntH6679 the preyH2964 for the lionH3833? or fillH4390 the appetiteH2416 of the young lionsH3715, {the appetite: Heb. the life}
When they couchH7817 in their densH4585, and abideH3427 in the covertH5521 toH3926 lie in waitH695?
Who providethH3559 for the ravenH6158 his foodH6718? when his young onesH3206 cryH7768 unto GodH410, they wanderH8582 for lackH1097 of meatH400.

The LORDH3068 possessedH7069 me in the beginningH7225 of his wayH1870, beforeH6924 his worksH4659 of old.
When he gaveH7760 to the seaH3220 his decreeH2706, that the watersH4325 should not passH5674 his commandmentH6310: when he appointedH2710 the foundationsH4144 of the earthH776:
Of oldH6440 hast thou laid the foundationH3245 of the earthH776: and the heavensH8064 are the workH4639 of thy handsH3027.
Then I was by himH681, as one brought upH525 with him: and I was dailyH3117+H3117 his delightH8191, rejoicingH7832 alwaysH6256 beforeH6440 him;
Who laidH3245 the foundationsH4349 of the earthH776, that it should not be removedH4131 for everH5769+H5703. {Who…: Heb. He hath founded the earth upon her bases}
Who hath ascended upH5927 into heavenH8064, or descendedH3381? who hath gatheredH622 the windH7307 in his fistsH2651? who hath boundH6887 the watersH4325 in a garmentH8071? who hath establishedH6965 all the endsH657 of the earthH776? what is his nameH8034, and what is his son'sH1121 nameH8034, if thou canst tellH3045?
