[1] Then Yahweh answered Job out of the whirlwind,
[2] “Who is this who darkens counsel
by words without knowledge?
[3] Brace yourself like a man,
for I will question you, then you answer me! [4] “Where were you when I laid the foundations of the earth?
Declare, if you have understanding.
[5] Who determined its measures, if you know?
Or who stretched the line on it?
[6] What were its foundations fastened on?
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 up the sea with doors,
when it broke out of the womb,
[9] when I made clouds its garment,
and wrapped it in thick darkness,
[10] marked out for it my bound,
set bars and doors,
[11] and said, ‘You may come here, but no further.
Your proud waves shall be stopped here’? [12] “Have you commanded the morning in your days,
and caused the dawn to know its place,
[13] that it might take hold of the ends of the earth,
and shake the wicked out of it?
[14] It is changed as clay under the seal,
and presented as a garment.
[15] From the wicked, their light is withheld.
The high arm is broken. [16] “Have you entered into the springs of the sea?
Or have you walked in the recesses of the deep?
[17] Have the gates of death been revealed to you?
Or have you seen the gates of the shadow of death?
[18] Have you comprehended the earth in its width?
Declare, if you know it all. [19] “What is the way to the dwelling of light?
As for darkness, where is its place,
[20] that you should take it to its bound,
that you should discern the paths to its house?
[21] Surely 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 against the time of trouble,
against the day of battle and war?
[24] By what way is the lightning distributed,
or the east wind scattered on the earth? [25] Who has cut a channel for the flood water,
or the path for the thunderstorm,
[26] to cause it to rain on a land where there is no man,
on the wilderness, in which there is no man,
[27] to satisfy the waste and desolate ground,
to cause the tender grass to grow?
[28] Does the rain have a father?
Or who fathers the drops of dew?
[29] Whose womb did the ice come out of?
Who has given birth to the gray frost of the sky?
[30] The waters become hard like stone,
when the surface of the deep is frozen. [31] “Can you bind the cluster of the Pleiades,
or loosen the cords of Orion?
[32] Can you lead the constellations out in their season?
Or can you guide the Bear with her cubs?
[33] Do you know the laws of the heavens?
Can you establish its dominion over the earth? [34] “Can you lift up your voice to the clouds,
that abundance of waters may cover you?
[35] Can you send out lightnings, that they may go?
Do they report to you, ‘Here we are’?
[36] Who has put wisdom in the inward parts?
Or who has given understanding to the mind?
[37] Who can count the clouds by wisdom?
Or who can pour out the containers of the sky,
[38] when the dust runs into a mass,
and the clods of earth stick together? [39] “Can you hunt the prey for the lioness,
or satisfy the appetite of the young lions,
[40] when they crouch in their dens,
and lie in wait in the thicket?
[41] Who provides for the raven his prey,
when his young ones cry to God,
and wander for lack of food?
[2] “Who is this who darkens counsel
by words without knowledge?
[3] Brace yourself like a man,
for I will question you, then you answer me! [4] “Where were you when I laid the foundations of the earth?
Declare, if you have understanding.

King James Version
[1] Then the LordH3068 answeredH6030(QalImpf) JobH347 out of the whirlwind,H5591 and said,H559(QalImpf) [2] Who [is] this that darkenethH2821(HiphPtc) counselH6098 by wordsH4405 without knowledge?H1847 [3] Gird upH247(QalImpv) now thy loinsH2504 like a man;H1397 for I will demandH7592(QalImpf) of thee, and answerH3045(HiphImpv) thou me. [4] WhereH375 wast thou when I laid the foundationsH3245(QalInf) of the earth?H776 declare,H5046(HiphImpv) if thou hastH3045(QalPerf) understanding.H998 [5] Who hath laidH7760(QalPerf) the measuresH4461 thereof, if thou knowest?H3045(QalImpf) or who hath stretchedH5186(QalPerf) the lineH6957 upon it? [6] Whereupon are the foundationsH134 thereof fastened?H2883(HophPerf) or who laidH3384(QalPerf) the cornerH6438 stoneH68 thereof; [7] When the morningH1242 starsH3556 sangH7442(QalInf) together,H3162 and all the sonsH1121 of GodH430 shoutedH7321(HiphImpf) for joy? [8] Or [who] shut upH5526(HiphImpf) the seaH3220 with doors,H1817 when it brake forth,H1518(QalInf) [as if] it had issued outH3318(QalImpf) of the womb?H7358 [9] When I madeH7760(QalInf) the cloudH6051 the garmentH3830 thereof, and thick darknessH6205 a swaddlingbandH2854 for it, [10] And brake upH7665(QalImpf) for it my decreedH2706 [place], and setH7760(QalImpf) barsH1280 and doors,H1817 [11] And said,H559(QalImpf) HithertoH5704 shalt thou come,H935(QalImpf) but no further:H3254(HiphImpf) and here shall thy proudH1347 wavesH1530 be stayed?H7896(QalImpf) [12] Hast thou commandedH6680(PielPerf) the morningH1242 since thy days;H3117 [and] caused the dayspringH7837 to knowH3045(PielPerf) his place;H4725 [13] That it might take holdH270(QalInf) of the endsH3671 of the earth,H776 that the wickedH7563 might be shaken outH5287(NiphImpf) of it? [14] It is turnedH2015(HithImpf) as clayH2563 [to] the seal;H2368 and they standH3320(HithImpf) as a garment.H3830 [15] And from the wickedH7563 their lightH216 is withholden,H4513(NiphImpf) and the highH7311(QalActPtc) armH2220 shall be broken.H7665(NiphImpf) [16] Hast thou enteredH935(QalPerf) into the springsH5033 of the sea?H3220 or hast thou walkedH1980(HithPerf) in the searchH2714 of the depth?H8415 [17] Have the gatesH8179 of deathH4194 been openedH1540(NiphPerf) unto thee? or hast thou seenH7200(QalImpf) the doorsH8179 of the shadow of death?H6757 [18] Hast thou perceivedH995(HiplPerf) the breadthH7338 of the earth?H776 declareH5046(HiphImpv) if thou knowestH3045(QalPerf) it all. [19] Where [is] the wayH1870 [where] lightH216 dwelleth?H7931(QalImpf) and [as for] darkness,H2822 where [is] the placeH4725 thereof, [20] That thou shouldest takeH3947(QalImpf) it to the boundH1366 thereof, and that thou shouldest knowH995(QalImpf) the pathsH5410 [to] the houseH1004 thereof? [21] KnowestH3045(QalPerf) thou [it], because thou wast then born?H3205(NiphImpf) or [because] the numberH4557 of thy daysH3117 [is] great?H7227 [22] Hast thou enteredH935(QalPerf) into the treasuresH214 of the snow?H7950 or hast thou seenH7200(QalImpf) the treasuresH214 of the hail,H1259 [23] Which I have reservedH2820(QalPerf) against the timeH6256 of trouble,H6862 against the dayH3117 of battleH7128 and war?H4421 [24] By whatH335 wayH1870 is the lightH216 parted,H2505(NiphImpf) [which] scatterethH6327(HiphImpf) the east windH6921 upon the earth?H776 [25] Who hath dividedH6385(PielPerf) a watercourseH8585 for the overflowing of waters,H7858 or a wayH1870 for the lightningH2385 of thunder;H6963 [26] To cause it to rainH4305(HiphInf) on the earth,H776 [where] no manH376 [is; on] the wilderness,H4057 wherein [there is] no man;H120 [27] To satisfyH7646(HiphInf) the desolateH7722 and wasteH4875 [ground]; and to cause the budH4161 of the tender herbH1877 to spring forth?H6779(HiphInf) [28] HathH3426 the rainH4306 a father?H1 or who hath begottenH3205(HiphPerf) the dropsH96 of dew?H2919 [29] Out of whose wombH990 cameH3318(QalPerf) the ice?H7140 and the hoary frostH3713 of heaven,H8064 who hath genderedH3205(QalPerf) it? [30] The watersH4325 are hidH2244(HithImpf) as [with] a stone,H68 and the faceH6440 of the deepH8415 is frozen.H3920(HithImpf) [31] Canst thou bindH7194(PielImpf) the sweet influencesH4575 of Pleiades,H3598 or looseH6605(PielImpf) the bandsH4189 of Orion?H3685 [32] Canst thou bring forthH3318(HiphImpf) MazzarothH4216 in his season?H6256 or canst thou guideH5148(HiphImpf) ArcturusH5906 with his sons?H1121 [33] KnowestH3045(QalPerf) thou the ordinancesH2708 of heaven?H8064 canst thou setH7760(QalImpf) the dominionH4896 thereof in the earth?H776 [34] Canst thou lift upH7311(HiphImpf) thy voiceH6963 to the clouds,H5645 that abundanceH8229 of watersH4325 may coverH3680(PielImpf) thee? [35] Canst thou sendH7971(PielImpf) lightnings,H1300 that they may go,H3212(QalImpf) and sayH559(QalImpf) unto thee, Here we [are]? [36] Who hath putH7896(QalPerf) wisdomH2451 in the inward parts?H2910 or who hath givenH5414(QalPerf) understandingH998 to the heart?H7907 [37] Who can numberH5608(PielImpf) the cloudsH7834 in wisdom?H2451 or who can stayH7901(HiphImpf) the bottlesH5035 of heaven,H8064 [38] When the dustH6083 growethH3332(QalInf) into hardness,H4165 and the clodsH7263 cleave fast together?H1692(PualImpf) [39] Wilt thou huntH6679(QalImpf) the preyH2964 for the lion?H3833 or fillH4390(PielImpf) the appetiteH2416 of the young lions,H3715 [40] When they couchH7817(QalImpf) in [their] dens,H4585 [and] abideH3427(QalImpf) in the covertH5521 toH3926 lie in wait?H695 [41] Who providethH3559(HiphImpf) for the ravenH6158 his food?H6718 when his young onesH3206 cryH7768(PielImpf) unto God,H410 they wanderH8582(QalImpf) for lackH1097 of meat.H400
