1. Yahweh answered Job from the midst of the whirlwind and said.
2. Who is this that darkens counsel through words without knowledge?
3. Gird your loins now like a man; I will question you, and you answer me.
4. Where were you when I founded the earth? Tell, if you understand.
5. Who established its measurements, if you know? Or who stretched the line over it?
6. On what were its foundations sunk? Or who laid its cornerstone?
7. When the morning stars rejoiced together, and all the sons of God shouted?
8. Who enclosed the sea with doors when it came bursting from the womb?
9. when I appointed a cloud as its clothing, and thick darkness as its swaddling band,
10. I broke up for it my appointed boundary and set a bar and doors.
11. and I said, "Come right up to here but no further, and here your arrogant waves shall be halted."
12. Have you commanded the morning in your days and made the dawn know its place?
13. to grasp the corners of the earth and shake the wicked from it?
14. It changes like clay under the seal, and they stand like a garment.
15. Their light is restrained, and the lofty arm is broken.
16. Have you gone to the springs of the sea, or have you walked in searching the deep?
17. Have the gates of death been uncovered to you, or have you seen the gates of death's shadow?
18. Have you attended to the breadth of the earth? Make it known if you know all of it.
19. Where then is the way light abides? And darkness, where then is its place?
20. that you take it to its border, and that you understand the paths to its house?
21. You know because you were born then, and the number of your days is great.
22. Have you entered the storehouses of snow, or seen the storehouses of hail?
23. which I have held back for the time of distress, for the day of battle and war?
24. By what path is light divided, which scatters the east wind upon the earth?
25. Who has cut a channel for the flood and a path for the thunderbolt?
26. to rain upon earth that has no man, upon the wilderness that has no man within it.
27. to satisfy the desolate waste and to sprout the bud of grass?
28. Does the rain have a father, or who begets the drops of dew?
29. From whose womb does the ice emerge? Who births heaven's hoarfrost?
30. Waters hide like stone, and the faces of the deep freeze.
31. Can you bind the Pleiades' cluster, or untie Orion's cords?
32. Can you lead forth Mazzoroth at its appointed time, or guide the Bear with her young?
33. Do you know the statutes of the heavens? Can you set its dominion over the earth?
34. Can you raise your voice to the clouds, that an abundance of waters may cover you?
35. Can you send lightnings, that they may go and say to you, "Here we are?"
36. Who has set wisdom in the inward parts? Or who has granted understanding to the heart?
37. Who counts the clouds with wisdom? Who pours out the bottles of heaven?
38. when the dust hardens into a mass and the clods stick together?
39. Will you hunt prey for the lioness and fill the young lions' appetite?
40. when they crouch in their dens and remain in the thicket to lie in wait?
41. Who furnishes the raven its food when its young cry to God and wander for lack of meat?
