Job 38

4 "Where were you when I laid the foundation of the earth?

Tell Me, if you *38:4 Lit know understandinghave understanding,

5 Who set its measurements? Since you know.

Or who stretched the measuring line over 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 enclosed the sea with doors

When it went out from the womb, bursting forth;

9 When I made a cloud its garment,

And thick darkness its swaddling bands,

10 And I *38:10 Lit broke My decree on itplaced boundaries on it

And set a bolt and doors,

11 And I said, ‘As far as this point you shall come, but no farther;

And here your proud waves shall stop’?
