Job 38:4-18 (CJB) | TrulyRandomVerse

4

"Where were you when I founded the earth? Tell me, if you know so much.

5

Do you know who determined its dimensions or who stretched the measuring line across 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

"Who shut up the sea behind closed doors when it gushed forth from the womb,

9

when I made the clouds its blanket and dense fog its swaddling cloth,

10

when I made the breakers its boundary set its gates and bars,

11

and said, 'You may come this far, but no farther; here your proud waves must stop'?

12

"Have you ever in your life called up the dawn and made the morning know its place,

13

so that it could take hold of the edges of the earth and shake the wicked out of it?

14

Then the earth is changed like clay under a seal, until its colors are fixed like those of a garment.

15

But from the wicked the light is withheld, and the arm raised [to strike] is broken.

16

"Have you gone down to the springs of the sea or explored the limits of the deep?

17

Have the gates of death been revealed to you, the gates of death-like darkness?

18

Have you surveyed the full extent of the earth? Say so, if you know it all!
