Declare, if you have understanding. 5 Who determined its measurements, if you know? Or who stretched the line upon it? 6 On what are its foundations fastened? Or who laid its cornerstone, 7 When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy? 8 Or who closed up the sea with doors, when it burst forth, as if it had issued out of the womb? 9 When I made the cloud its garment, and thick darkness a swaddling band for it, 10 And fixed My limit for it, and set bars and doors, 11 And said, This far you shall come, but no further; and here shall your proud waves be stopped? 12 Have you commanded the morning since your days began; and caused the dawn to know its 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 changed like clay under the seal; and they stand out like a garment. 15 And from the wicked their light is withheld, and the upraised arm is broken. 16 Have you entered into the springs of the sea? Or have you walked in the recesses of the deep? 17 Have the gates of death been revealed to you? Or have you seen the doors of the shadow of death? 18 Have you perceived the breadth of the earth? Declare, if you know it all. 19 Where is the way to the dwelling of light? And as for darkness, where is its place, 20 That you may take it to its boundary, and that you may discern the paths to its home? 21 Do you know it, because you were born then? Or because the number of your days is great? 22 Have you entered into the storehouses of the snow? Or have you seen the storehouses 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 distributed, which scatters the east wind upon the earth? 25 Who has 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 one is, on the wilderness, where there is no man; 27 To satisfy the desolate and waste ground, and to cause the sprout of tender grass to spring forth? 28 Does the rain have a father? Or who has begotten the drops of dew? 29 From whose womb comes the ice? And the frost of heaven, who gives it birth? 30 The waters are hidden like stone, and the surface of the deep is frozen. 31 Can you bind the sweet influences of Pleiades, or loose the cords of Orion? 32 Can you bring out Mazzaroth in its season? Or can you guide the Great Bear with its cubs? 33 Do you know the statutes of the heavens? Can you set their dominion over the earth? 34 Can you lift up your voice to the clouds, that an abundance of water may cover you? 35 Can you send out lightnings, that they may go, and say to you, Here we are? 36 Who has put wisdom in the inward parts? Or who has given understanding to the heart? 37 Who can number the clouds by wisdom? Or who can pour out the bottles of heaven, 38 When the dust hardens into clumps, and the clods cling together? 39 Will you hunt the prey for the lion, or satisfy the appetite of the young lions, 40 When they crouch in their dens, and lie in wait in the thickets? 41 Who provides for the raven its prey, when its young ones cry to God, and wander about for lack of food?
  • Job 41:1-9 : 1 Can you draw out Leviathan with a hook, or his tongue with a cord which you let down? 2 Can you put a hook into his nose, or pierce his jaw with a thorn? 3 Will he make many pleas to you? Will he speak soft words to you? 4 Will he make a covenant with you? Will you take him as a servant forever? 5 Will you play with him as with a bird? Or will you bind him for your maidens? 6 Will the companions make a banquet of him? Will they divide him among the merchants? 7 Can you fill his skin with barbed irons, or his head with fish spears? 8 Lay your hand upon him, remember the battle, do no more. 9 Behold, the hope of capturing him is vain; will not one be cast down even at the sight of him? 10 None is so fierce that dare stir him up; who then is able to stand before me? 11 Who has preceded me, that I should repay him? Whatever is under the whole heaven is mine. 12 I will not conceal his parts, nor his power, nor his handsome proportions. 13 Who can uncover the face of his garment? Or who can come to him with a double bridle? 14 Who can open the doors of his face? His teeth are terrifying all around. 15 His scales are his pride, shut up tightly as with a close seal. 16 One is so near to another that no air can come between them. 17 They are joined one to another; they clasp each other, and cannot be parted. 18 By his sneezings a light shines, and his eyes are like the eyelids of the morning. 19 Out of his mouth go burning lamps, and sparks of fire leap out. 20 Out of his nostrils goes smoke, as out of a boiling pot or cauldron. 21 His breath kindles coals, and a flame goes out of his mouth. 22 In his neck remains strength, and sorrow is turned into joy before him. 23 The folds of his flesh are tightly joined; they are firm on him and cannot be moved. 24 His heart is as hard as a stone; yes, as hard as a lower millstone. 25 When he raises himself up, the mighty are afraid; because of the crashing they are beside themselves. 26 The sword that reaches him cannot prevail, nor the spear, the dart, or the javelin. 27 He regards iron as straw, and bronze as rotten wood. 28 The arrow cannot make him flee; sling stones are turned to stubble by him. 29 Darts are regarded as stubble, he laughs at the shaking of a spear. 30 Under him are sharp stones; he spreads sharp pointed things upon the mire. 31 He makes the deep boil like a pot; he makes the sea like a pot of ointment. 32 He makes a path shine after him; one would think the deep to have white hair. 33 On earth there is nothing like him, made without fear. 34 He beholds all high things; he is a king over all the children of pride.
