Job 38:1-7, (34-41)
Then the LORD answered Job out of the whirlwind:
"Who is this that darkens counsel by words without
knowledge?
Gird up your loins like a man,
I will question
you, and you shall declare to me.
"Where were you when I laid the foundation of the
earth?
Tell me, if you
have understanding.
Who determined its measurements-- surely you know!
Or who stretched
the line upon it?
On what were its bases sunk,
or who laid its
cornerstone
when the morning stars sang together
and all the
heavenly beings shouted for joy?
"Can you lift up your voice to the clouds,
so that a flood of
waters may cover you?
Can you send forth lightnings, so that they may go
and say to you,
`Here we are'?
Who has put wisdom in the inward parts,
or given
understanding to the mind?
Who has the wisdom to number the clouds?
Or who can tilt
the waterskins of the heavens,
when the dust runs into a mass
and the clods
cling together?
"Can you hunt the prey for the lion,
or satisfy the
appetite of the young lions,
when they crouch in their dens,
or lie in wait in
their covert?
Who provides for the raven its prey,
when its young
ones cry to God,
and wander about
for lack of food?"
