Biblia
- 1
- Then Jehovah answered Job out of the whirlwind, and said,
- 2
- Who is this that darkeneth counsel By words without knowledge?
- 3
- Gird up now thy loins like a man; For I will demand of thee, and declare thou unto me.
- 4
- Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth? Declare, if thou hast understanding.
- 5
- Who determined the measures thereof, if thou knowest? Or who stretched the line upon it?
- 6
- Whereupon were the foundations thereof fastened? Or who laid the corner-stone thereof,
- 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 brake forth, `as if' it had issued out of the womb;
- 9
- When I made clouds the garment thereof, And thick darkness a swaddling-band for it,
- 10
- And marked out for it my bound, And set bars and doors,
- 11
- And said, Hitherto shalt thou come, but no further; And here shall thy proud waves be stayed?
- 12
- Hast thou commanded the morning since thy days `began', `And' caused the dayspring to know its place;
- 13
- That it might take hold of the ends of the earth, And the wicked be shaken out of it?
- 14
- It is changed as clay under the seal; And `all things' stand forth as a garment:
- 15
- And from the wicked their light is withholden, And the high arm is broken.
- 16
- Hast thou entered into the springs of the sea? Or hast thou walked in the recesses of the deep?
- 17
- Have the gates of death been revealed unto thee? Or hast thou seen the gates of the shadow of death?
- 18
- Hast thou comprehended the earth in its breadth? Declare, if thou knowest it all.
- 19
- Where is the way to the dwelling of light? And as for darkness, where is the place thereof,
- 20
- That thou shouldest take it to the bound thereof, And that thou shouldest discern the paths to the house thereof?
- 21
- `Doubtless', thou knowest, for thou wast then born, And the number of thy days is great!
- 22
- Hast thou entered the treasuries of the snow, Or hast thou seen the treasures 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 light parted, Or the east wind scattered upon the earth?
- 25
- Who hath cleft a channel for the waterflood, Or the way for the lightning of the thunder;
- 26
- To cause it to rain on a land where no man is; On the wilderness, wherein there is no man;
- 27
- To satisfy the waste and desolate `ground', And to cause the tender grass to spring forth?
- 28
- Hath the rain a father? Or who hath begotten the drops of dew?
- 29
- Out of whose womb came the ice? And the hoary frost of heaven, who hath gendered it?
- 30
- The waters hide themselves `and become' like stone, And the face of the deep is frozen.
- 31
- Canst thou bind the cluster of the Pleiades, Or loose the bands of Orion?
- 32
- Canst thou lead forth the Mazzaroth in their season? Or canst thou guide the Bear with her train?
- 33
- Knowest thou the ordinances of the heavens? Canst thou establish the dominion thereof in the earth?
- 34
- Canst thou lift up thy voice to the clouds, That abundance of waters may cover thee?
- 35
- Canst thou send forth lightnings, that they may go, And say unto thee, Here we are?
- 36
- Who hath put wisdom in the inward parts? Or who hath given understanding to the mind?
- 37
- Who can number the clouds by wisdom? Or who can pour out the bottles of heaven,
- 38
- When the dust runneth into a mass, And the clods cleave fast together?
- 39
- Canst thou hunt the prey for the lioness, Or satisfy the appetite of the young lions,
- 40
- When they couch in their dens, `And' abide in the covert to lie in wait?
- 41
- Who provideth for the raven his prey, When his young ones cry unto God, `And' wander for lack of food?
