¹ And Jehovah answered Job out of the tempest and said:² Who is this that darkens counsel by words without knowledge?³ Now gird up your loins like a man, for I will question you; and you teach Me.

⁴ Where were you when I founded the earth? Declare if you know understanding.⁵ Who has set its dimensions, for you know? Or who has stretched a line on it?⁶ On what were its bases sunk? Or who cast its cornerstone,⁷ when the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy?⁸ Or who shut up the sea with doors, when it burst out; it came forth from the womb?⁹ When I made the clouds to clothe it, and darkness its navel-band;¹⁰ and I broke My limit on it and set bars and doors;¹¹ and I said, You shall come to here, but no further; and here your proud waves shall be set?

¹² Have you commanded the morning from your days, and caused the dawn to know its place,¹³ that it might take hold of the wings of the earth; that the wicked might be shaken out of it?¹⁴ It is turned like clay under a seal; and they stand out like a garment.¹⁵ And their light is withheld from the wicked, and the high arm shall be broken.¹⁶ Have you gone to the springs of the sea; or have you walked in searching of the deep?¹⁷ Have death's gates been opened to you; or have you seen the gates of the shadow of death?¹⁸ Have you comprehended the breadth of the earth? Declare, if you know it all!¹⁹ Where is this, the way light dwells; and where is the place of darkness,²⁰ that you should take it to its boundary, and that you should perceive the paths to its house?²¹ You know, for then you were born, and 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 for the time of distress for the day of battle and war?²⁴ How is it, the way the light is distributed; and how does the east wind spread itself on the earth?

²⁵ Who has cut a channel for the flood; or a way for the thunderclaps,²⁶ to make it rain on the earth where no man is , a wilderness and no man in it;²⁷ to satisfy the waste and desolation, and to cause the source of grass to sprout?²⁸ Is there a father for the rain? Or who has given birth to the drops of dew?²⁹ From whose womb comes forth the ice; and the frost of the heavens, who fathered it;³⁰ the waters hidden like stone, and the face of the deep is captured?³¹ Can you bind the bands of the Pleiades, or loosen the cords of Orion?³² Can you bring out the constellations in their season; or can you guide the Bear with its sons?³³ Do you know the limits of the heavens; can you establish their rulership on the earth?³⁴ Can you lift your voice to the clouds, so that floods of water may cover you?³⁵ Can you send 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 mind?³⁷ Who can by wisdom number the clouds or who can lay down the jars of the heavens,³⁸ when the dust is melted into hardness, and the clods cling fast together?³⁹ Will you hunt the prey for the lion, or fill the appetite of the young lions,⁴⁰ when they crouch in dens, and sit in the cover of their hiding place?⁴¹ Who provides food for the raven, when its young ones cry to God and wander about without food?
