욥기 38장 NASB

  1. 1 Then the LORD answered Job out of the whirlwind and said
  2. 2 "Who is this that darkens counsel By words without knowledge?
  3. 3 "Now gird up your loins like a man And I will ask you and you instruct Me!
  4. 4 "Where were you when I laid the foundation of the earth? Tell Me if you have understanding
  5. 5 Who set its measurements? Since you know. Or who stretched the line on it?
  6. 6 "On what were its bases sunk? Or who laid its cornerstone
  7. 7 When the morning stars sang together And all the sons of God shouted for joy?
  8. 8 "Or who enclosed the sea with doors When bursting forth it went out from the womb;
  9. 9 When I made a cloud its garment And thick darkness its swaddling band
  10. 10 And I placed boundaries on it And set a bolt and doors
  11. 11 And I said 'Thus far you shall come but no farther; And here shall your proud waves stop'?
  12. 12 "Have you ever in your life commanded the morning And caused the dawn to know its place
  13. 13 That it might take hold of the ends of the earth And the wicked be shaken out of it?
  14. 14 "It is changed like clay under the seal; And they stand forth like a garment.
  15. 15 "From the wicked their light is withheld And the uplifted arm is broken.
  16. 16 "Have you entered into the springs of the sea Or walked in the recesses of the deep?
  17. 17 "Have the gates of death been revealed to you Or have you seen the gates of deep darkness?
  18. 18 "Have you understood the expanse of the earth? Tell Me if you know all this.
  19. 19 "Where is the way to the dwelling of light? And darkness where is its place
  20. 20 That you may take it to its territory And that you may discern the paths to its home?
  21. 21 "You know for you were born then And the number of your days is great!
  22. 22 "Have you entered the storehouses of the snow Or have you seen the storehouses of the hail
  23. 23 Which I have reserved for the time of distress For the day of war and battle?
  24. 24 "Where is the way that the light is divided Or the east wind scattered on the earth?
  25. 25 "Who has cleft a channel for the flood Or a way for the thunderbolt
  26. 26 To bring rain on a land without people On a desert without a man in it
  27. 27 To satisfy the waste and desolate land And to make the seeds of grass to sprout?
  28. 28 "Has the rain a father? Or who has begotten the drops of dew?
  29. 29 "From whose womb has come the ice? And the frost of heaven who has given it birth?
  30. 30 "Water becomes hard like stone And the surface of the deep is imprisoned.
  31. 31 "Can you bind the chains of the Pleiades Or loose the cords of Orion?
  32. 32 "Can you lead forth a constellation in its season And guide the Bear with her satellites?
  33. 33 "Do you know the ordinances of the heavens Or fix their rule over the earth?
  34. 34 "Can you lift up your voice to the clouds So that an abundance of water will cover you?
  35. 35 "Can you send forth lightnings that they may go And say to you 'Here we are'?
  36. 36 "Who has put wisdom in the innermost being Or given understanding to the mind?
  37. 37 "Who can count the clouds by wisdom Or tip the water jars of the heavens
  38. 38 When the dust hardens into a mass And the clods stick together?
  39. 39 "Can you hunt the prey for the lion Or satisfy the appetite of the young lions
  40. 40 When they crouch in their dens And lie in wait in their lair?
  41. 41 "Who prepares for the raven its nourishment When its young cry to God And wander about without food?
