욥기 38장 Coverdale Bible
- 1 Then spake the LORDE vnto Iob out of the storme, and sayde:
- 2 what is he, that hydeth his mynde with foolysh wordes?
- 3 Gyrde vp thy loynes like a ma, for I will question the, se thou geue me a dyrecte answere.
- 4 Where wast thou, when I layed ye foundacions of the earth? Tell planely yff thou hast vnderstondinge.
- 5 Who hath measured it, knowest thou? Or, who hath spred ye lyne vpon it?
- 6 Where vpon stode the pilers of it? Or, who layed ye corner stone?
- 7 where wast thou when the mornynge starres gaue me prayse, ad when all the angels of God reioysed?
- 8 Who shutt the see with dores, when it brake forth as a childe out off his mothers wombe?
- 9 When I made the cloudes to be a coueringe for it, and swedled it with ye darcke?
- 10 when I gaue it my comaundement, makynge dores & barres for it,
- 11 sayenge: Hither to shalt thou come, but no further, and here shalt thou laye downe thy proude and hye wawes.
- 12 Hast thou geue the mornynge his charge (as soone as thou wast borne) and shewed the dayespringe his place,
- 13 yt it might take holde of the corners of the earth, & yt the vngodly might be shake out?
- 14 Their tokes & weapes hast thou turned like claye, & set the vp agayne as the chaunginge of a garment.
- 15 Yee thou hast spoyled the vngodly off their light, & broke the arme of the proude.
- 16 Camest thou euer into the groude of the see, Or, hast thou walked in ye lowe corners of ye depe?
- 17 Haue the gates of death bene opened vnto the or hast thou sene the dore of euerlastige treasure?
- 18 Hast thou also perceaued, how brode ye earth is? Now yf thou hast knowlege of all,
- 19 the shewe me where light dwelleth, and where darcknes is:
- 20 yt thou mayest bringe vs vnto their quarters, yf thou cast tell the waye to their houses.
- 21 Knewest thou (when thou wast borne) how olde thou shuldest be?
- 22 Wentest thou euer in to the treasuries off the snowe, or hast thou sene ye secrete places of the hale:
- 23 which I haue prepared agaynst the tyme of trouble, agaynst the tyme of batell & warre?
- 24 By what waye is the light parted, & the heate dealt out vpon earth?
- 25 Who deuydeth the abundauce of waters in to ryuers, or who maketh a waye for the stormy wether,
- 26 yt it watereth & moystureth ye drye & baren grounde:
- 27 to make the grasse growe in places where no body dwelleth, & in the wildernes where no ma remayneth?
- 28 Who is the father of rayne? Or, who hath begotten the droppes of dew?
- 29 Out of whose wobe came the yse? who hath gendred the coldnes of ye ayre?
- 30 yt the waters are as harde as stones, & lye congeeled aboue the depe.
- 31 Hast thou brought ye vij. starres together? Or, art thou able to breake the Circle of heaue?
- 32 Cast thou bringe forth the mornynge starre or the euenynge starre at couenient tyme, & coueye the home agayne?
- 33 Knowest thou the course off heaue, yt thou mayest set vp the ordinaunce therof vpo earth?
- 34 Morouer, cast thou lift vp thy voyce to ye cloudes, yt they maye poure downe a greate rayne vpo the?
- 35 Canst thou thodre also yt they maye go their waye, & be obediet vnto the, sayege: lo, here are we?
- 36 Who geueth sure wisdome, or stedfast vnderstodinge?
- 37 who nombreth the cloudes in wisdome? who stilleth ye vehement waters of the heaue?
- 38 who turneth the clottes to dust, & the to be clottes agayne?
- 39 Huntest thou the praye fro the Lyon, or fedest thou his whelpes
- 40 lyege in their denes & lurkinge in their couches?
- 41 who prouydeth meate for the rauen, whe his yonge ones crie vnto God, ad fle aboute for want of meate?
