New Testament

Job 38:2-11 American Standard Version (ASV)

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?
