New Testament

Job 38:9-22 God's Word Translation (GW)

9. when I clothed it with cloudsand wrapped it up in dark clouds,

10. when I set a limit for itand put up bars and gates,

11. when I said, ‘You may come this far but no farther.Here your proud waves will stop’?

12. “Have you ever given orders to the morningor assigned a place for the dawn

13. so that it could grab the earth by its edgesand shake wicked people out of it?

14. The earth changes like clay stamped by a seal,and ⌊parts of it⌋ stand out like ⌊folds in⌋ clothing.

15. Wicked people are deprived of their light,and an arm raised ⌊in victory⌋ is broken.

16. Have you gone to the springs in the seaor walked through the valleys of the ocean depths?

17. Have the gateways to death been revealed to you,or have you seen the gateways to total darkness?

18. Have you ⌊even⌋ considered how wide the earth is?Tell me, if you know all of this!

19. “What is the way to the place where light lives?Where is the home of darkness

20. so that you may lead it to its territory,so that you may know the path to its home?

21. You must know because you were born thenand have lived such a long time!

22. Have you been to the warehouses where snow is storedor seen the warehouses for hail
