¹ Then the LORD answered Job out of the whirlwind:² "Who is this that darkens counsel by words without knowledge?³ Gird up your loins like a man, I will question you, and you shall declare to me.

⁴ "Where were you when I laid the foundation of the earth? Tell me, if you have understanding.⁵ Who determined its measurements--surely you know! Or who stretched the line upon it?⁶ On what were its bases sunk, or who laid its cornerstone,⁷ when the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy?⁸ "Or who shut in the sea with doors, when it burst forth from the womb;⁹ when I made clouds its garment, and thick darkness its swaddling band,¹⁰ and prescribed bounds for it, and set bars and doors,¹¹ and said, 'Thus far shall you come, and no farther, and here shall your proud waves be stayed'?

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 skirts of the earth, and the wicked be shaken out of it?¹⁴ It is changed like clay under the seal, and it is dyed like a garment.¹⁵ From the wicked their light is withheld, and their uplifted arm is broken.¹⁶ "Have you entered into the springs of the sea, or walked in the recesses of the deep?¹⁷ Have the gates of death been revealed to you, or have you seen the gates of deep darkness?¹⁸ Have you comprehended the expanse of the earth? Declare, if you know all this.¹⁹ "Where is the way to the dwelling of light, and where is the place of darkness,²⁰ that you may take it to its territory and that you may discern the paths to its home?²¹ You know, for you were born then, and the number of your days is great!²² "Have you entered the storehouses of the snow, or have you seen the storehouses of the hail,²³ which I have reserved for the time of trouble, for the day of battle and war?²⁴ What is the way to the place where the light is distributed, or where the east wind is scattered upon the earth?

²⁵ "Who has cleft a channel for the torrents of rain, and a way for the thunderbolt,²⁶ to bring rain on a land where no man is, on the desert in which there is no man;²⁷ to satisfy the waste and desolate land, and to make the ground put forth grass?²⁸ "Has the rain a father, or who has begotten the drops of dew?²⁹ From whose womb did the ice come forth, and who has given birth to the hoarfrost of heaven?³⁰ The waters become hard like stone, and the face of the deep is frozen.³¹ "Can you bind the chains of the Plei'ades, or loose the cords of Orion?³² Can you lead forth the Maz'zaroth in their season, or can you guide the Bear with its children?³³ Do you know the ordinances of the heavens? Can you establish their rule on the earth?³⁴ "Can you lift up your voice to the clouds, that a flood of waters may cover you?³⁵ Can you send forth lightnings, that they may go and say to you, 'Here we are'?³⁶ Who has put wisdom in the clouds, or given understanding to the mists?³⁷ Who can number the clouds by wisdom? Or who can tilt the waterskins of the heavens,³⁸ when the dust runs into a mass and the clods cleave fast together?³⁹ "Can you hunt the prey for the lion, or satisfy the appetite of the young lions,⁴⁰ when they crouch in their dens, or lie in wait in their covert?⁴¹ Who provides for the raven its prey, when its young ones cry to God, and wander about for lack of food?
