18:038:003 Gird up now thy loins like a man; for I
will demand of thee,
and
answer thou me.
18:038:004 Where wast thou when I laid the foundations
of the earth?
declare,
if thou hast understanding.
18:038:005 Who hath laid the measures thereof, if
thou knowest? or who
hath
stretched the line upon it?
18:038:006 Whereupon are the foundations thereof fastened?
or who laid
the
corner stone thereof;
18:038:007 When the morning stars sang together, and
all the sons of God
shouted
for joy?
18:038:008 Or who shut up the sea with doors, when
it brake forth, as if
it
had issued out of the womb?
18:038:009 When I made the cloud the garment thereof,
and thick darkness
a
swaddlingband for it,
18:038:010 And brake up for it my decreed place, and set bars and doors,
18:038:011 And said, Hitherto shalt thou come, but
no further: and here
shall
thy proud waves be stayed?
18:038:012 Hast thou commanded the morning since thy
days; and caused the
dayspring
to know his place;
18:038:013 That it might take hold of the ends of
the earth, that the
wicked
might be shaken out of it?
18:038:014 It is turned as clay to the seal; and they stand as a garment.
18:038:015 And from the wicked their light is withholden,
and the high
arm
shall be broken.
18:038:016 Hast thou entered into the springs of the
sea? or hast thou
walked
in the search of the depth?
18:038:017 Have the gates of death been opened unto
thee? or hast thou
seen
the doors of the shadow of death?
18:038:018 Hast thou perceived the breadth of the
earth? declare if thou
knowest
it all.
18:038:019 Where is the way where light dwelleth?
and as for darkness,
where
is the place thereof,
18:038:020 That thou shouldest take it to the bound
thereof, and that
thou
shouldest know the paths to the house thereof?
18:038:021 Knowest thou it, because thou wast then
born? or because the
number
of thy days is great?
18:038:022 Hast thou entered into the treasures of
the snow? or hast thou
seen
the treasures of the hail,
18:038:023 Which I have reserved against the time
of trouble, against the
day
of battle and war?
18:038:024 By what way is the light parted, which
scattereth the east
wind
upon the earth?
18:038:025 Who hath divided a watercourse for the
overflowing of waters,
or
a way for the lightning of thunder;
18:038:026 To cause it to rain on the earth, where
no man is; on the
wilderness,
wherein there is no man;
18:038:027 To satisfy the desolate and waste ground;
and to cause the bud
of
the tender herb to spring forth?
