² "Who is this that makes my purpose unclear
    by saying things that are not true?
³ Be strong like a man!
    I will ask you questions,
    and you must answer me.
⁴ Where were you when I made the earth's foundation?
    Tell me, if you understand.
⁵ Who marked off how big it should be? Surely you know!
    Who stretched a ruler across it?
⁶ What were the earth's foundations set on,
    or who put its cornerstone in place
⁷ while the morning stars sang together
    and all the angels shouted with joy?

⁸ "Who shut the doors to keep the sea in
    when it broke through and was born,
⁹ when I made the clouds like a coat for the sea
    and wrapped it in dark clouds,
¹⁰ when I put limits on the sea
    and put its doors and bars in place,
¹¹ when I said to the sea, ‘You may come this far, but no farther;
    this is where your proud waves must stop'?

¹² "Have you ever ordered the morning to begin,
    or shown the dawn where its place was
¹³ in order to take hold of the earth by its edges
    and shake evil people out of it?
¹⁴ At dawn the earth changes like clay being pressed by a seal;
    the hills and valleys stand out like folds in a coat.
¹⁵ Light is not given to evil people;
    their arm is raised to do harm, but it is broken.

¹⁶ "Have you ever gone to where the sea begins
    or walked in the valleys under the sea?
¹⁷ Have the gates of death been opened to you?
    Have you seen the gates of the deep darkness?
¹⁸ Do you understand how wide the earth is?
    Tell me, if you know all these things.

¹⁹ "What is the path to light's home,
    and where does darkness live?
²⁰ Can you take them to their places?
    Do you know the way to their homes?
²¹ Surely you know, if you were already born when all this happened!
    Have you lived that many years?

²² "Have you ever gone into the storehouse of the snow
    or seen the storehouses for hail,
²³ which I save for times of trouble,
    for days of war and battle?
²⁴ Where is the place from which light comes?
    Where is the place from which the east winds blow over the earth?
²⁵ Who cuts a waterway for the heavy rains
    and sets a path for the thunderstorm?
²⁶ Who waters the land where no one lives,
    the desert that has no one in it?
²⁷ Who sends rain to satisfy the empty land
    so the grass begins to grow?
²⁸ Does the rain have a father?
    Who is father to the drops of dew?
²⁹ Who is the mother of the ice?
    Who gives birth to the frost from the sky
³⁰ when the water becomes hard as stone,
    and even the surface of the ocean is frozen?

³¹ "Can you tie up the stars of the Pleiades
    or loosen the ropes of the stars in Orion?
³² Can you bring out the stars on time
    or lead out the stars of the Bear with its cubs?
³³ Do you know the laws of the sky
    and understand their rule over the earth?

³⁴ "Can you shout an order to the clouds
    and cover yourself with a flood of water?
³⁵ Can you send lightning bolts on their way?
    Do they come to you and say, ‘Here we are'?
³⁶ Who put wisdom inside the mind
    or understanding in the heart?
³⁷ Who has the wisdom to count the clouds?
    Who can pour water from the jars of the sky
³⁸ when the dust becomes hard
    and the clumps of dirt stick together?

³⁹ "Do you hunt food for the female lion
    to satisfy the hunger of the young lions
⁴⁰ while they lie in their dens
    or hide in the bushes waiting to attack?
⁴¹ Who gives food to the birds
    when their young cry out to God
    and wander about without food?
