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.

He sendethH7971 the springsH4599 into the valleysH5158, which runH1980 among the hillsH2022. {He: Heb. Who} {run: Heb. walk}
They give drinkH8248 to every beastH2416 of the fieldH7704: the wild assesH6501 quenchH7665 their thirstH6772. {quench: Heb. break}
By them shall the fowlsH5775 of the heavenH8064 have their habitationH7931, which singH5414+H6963 amongH996 the branchesH6073. {sing: Heb. give a voice}
He waterethH8248 the hillsH2022 from his chambersH5944: the earthH776 is satisfiedH7646 with the fruitH6529 of thy worksH4639.
He causeth the grassH2682 to growH6779 for the cattleH929, and herbH6212 for the serviceH5656 of manH120: that he may bring forthH3318 foodH3899 out of the earthH776;
He turnethH7760 the wildernessH4057 into a standingH98 waterH4325, and dryH6723 groundH776 into waterspringsH4325+H4161.
Who coverethH3680 the heavenH8064 with cloudsH5645, who preparethH3559 rainH4306 for the earthH776, who maketh grassH2682 to growH6779 upon the mountainsH2022.
The wildernessH4057 and the solitary placeH6723 shall be gladH7797 for them; and the desertH6160 shall rejoiceH1523, and blossomH6524 as the roseH2261.
It shall blossomH6524 abundantlyH6524, and rejoiceH1523 even with joyH1525 and singingH7444: the gloryH3519 of LebanonH3844 shall be givenH5414 unto it, the excellencyH1926 of CarmelH3760 and SharonH8289, they shall seeH7200 the gloryH3519 of the LORDH3068, and the excellencyH1926 of our GodH430.
I will openH6605 riversH5104 in high placesH8205, and fountainsH4599 in the midstH8432 of the valleysH1237: I will makeH7760 the wildernessH4057 a poolH98 of waterH4325, and the dryH6723 landH776 springsH4161 of waterH4325.
I will plantH5414 in the wildernessH4057 the cedarH730, the shittah treeH7848, and the myrtleH1918, and the oilH8081 treeH6086; I will setH7760 in the desertH6160 the fir treeH1265, and the pineH8410, and the box treeH8391 togetherH3162:
Behold, I will doH6213 a new thingH2319; now it shall spring forthH6779; shall ye not knowH3045 it? I will even makeH7760 a wayH1870 in the wildernessH4057, and riversH5104 in the desertH3452.
The beastH2416 of the fieldH7704 shall honourH3513 me, the dragonsH8577 and the owlsH1323+H3284: because I giveH5414 watersH4325 in the wildernessH4057, and riversH5104 in the desertH3452, to give drinkH8248 to my peopleH5971, my chosenH972. {owls: or, ostriches: Heb. daughters of the owl}
Are thereH3426 any among the vanitiesH1892 of the GentilesH1471 that can cause rainH1652? or can the heavensH8064 giveH5414 showersH7241? art not thou he, O LORDH3068 our GodH430? therefore we will waitH6960 upon thee: for thou hast madeH6213 all these things.
