Job 38:11-21 Lexham English Bible (LEB)

11. and I said, ‘You shall come up to here, but you shall not go further, and here it will set a boundary for your proud surging waves’?

12. “Have you ever in your life commanded the morning? Have you made the dawn know its place,

13. to take hold of the earth’s skirts so that the wicked might be shaken off from it?

14. It is changed like clay under a seal, and they appear like a garment.

15. And their light is withheld from the wicked, and their uplifted arm is broken.

16. “Have you entered into the sea’s sources? Or have you walked around in the recesses of the deep?

17. Have the gates of death been revealed to you? Or have you seen the gates of deep shadow?

18. Have you considered closely the earth’s vast expanse? Declare it, if you know all of it.

19. “Where then is the way where the light dwells? And where then is its place,

20. that you may take it to its territory, and that you might discern the paths to its home?

21. You know, for you were born then, and the number of your days is great.
