Job 38

4 Where were thou, when I set the foundaments of the earth? show thou to me, if thou hast understanding.

5 Who setted [the] measurements thereof, if thou knowest? either who stretched forth a line thereupon?

6 Upon what thing be the founda-ments thereof made steadfast? either who sent down the cornerstone thereof,

7 when the morrow stars praised me together, and all the sons of God sang joyfully?

8 Who enclosed altogether the sea with doors, when it brake out coming forth as of the womb?

9 When I setted a cloud the cover-ing thereof, and I wrapped it with darkness, as with ‘clothes of young childhood.

10 I encompassed it with my terms, and I setted [or set] a bar, and doors;

11 and I said, Hitherto thou shalt come, and thou shalt not go further; and here thou shalt break altogether thy swelling waves.
