Job 38:17-31
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 38
17
Have the gates of death been revealed to you,
And have you seen the gates of deep darkness?
18
Have you understood the expanse of the earth?
Tell
Me,
if you know all this.
19
'Where is the way to the dwelling of light?
And darkness, where is its place,
20
That you would take it to its territory,
And discern the paths to its home?
21
You know, for you were born then,
And the number of your days is great!
22
Have you entered the storehouses of the snow,
And have you seen the storehouses of the hail,
23
Which I have reserved for a time of distress,
For a day of war and battle?
24
Where is the way that the light is divided,
And
the east wind scattered on the earth?
25
'Who has split
open
a channel for the flood,
And a way for the thunderbolt,
26
To bring rain on a land without people,
On
a desert without a person in it,
27
To satisfy the waste and desolate land,
And to make the seeds of grass to sprout?
28
Does the rain have a father?
Or who has fathered the drops of dew?
29
From whose womb has come the ice?
And the frost of heaven, who has given it birth?
30
Water becomes hard like stone,
And the surface of the deep is imprisoned.
31
'Can you tie up the chains of the Pleiades,
Or untie the cords of Orion?
King James Version
Chapter 38
17
Have the gates of death been opened unto thee? or hast thou seen the doors of the shadow of death?
18
Hast thou perceived the breadth of the earth? declare if thou knowest it all.
19
Where is the way where light dwelleth? and as for darkness, where is the place thereof,
20
That thou shouldest take it to the bound thereof, and that thou shouldest know the paths to the house thereof?
21
Knowest thou it, because thou wast then born? or because the number of thy days is great?
22
Hast thou entered into the treasures 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, which scattereth the east wind upon the earth?
25
Who hath divided a watercourse for the overflowing of waters, or a way for the lightning of thunder;
26
To cause it to rain on the earth, where no man is; on the wilderness, wherein there is no man;
27
To satisfy the desolate and waste ground; and to cause the bud of the tender herb 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 are hid as with a stone, and the face of the deep is frozen.
31
Canst thou bind the sweet influences of Pleiades, or loose the bands of Orion?
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 38
17
Have the gates of death been revealed to you?
Have you seen the gates of deep darkness?
18
Have you comprehended the extent of the earth?
Tell me, if you know all this.
19
Where is the road to the home of light?
Do you know where darkness lives,
20
so you can lead it back to its border?
Are you familiar with the paths to its home?
21
Don’t you know? You were already born;
you have lived so long!
22
Have you entered the place where the snow is stored?
Or have you seen the storehouses of hail,
23
which I hold in reserve for times of trouble,
for the day of warfare and battle?
24
What road leads to the place where light is dispersed?
Where is the source of the east wind that spreads across the earth?
25
Who cuts a channel for the flooding rain
or clears the way for lightning,
26
to bring rain on an uninhabited land,
on a desert with no human life,
27
to satisfy the parched wasteland
and cause the grass to sprout?
28
Does the rain have a father?
Who fathered the drops of dew?
29
Whose womb did the ice come from?
Who gave birth to the frost of heaven
30
when water becomes as hard as stone,
and the surface of the watery depths is frozen?
31
Can you fasten the chains of the Pleiades
or loosen the belt of Orion?
New Living Translation
Chapter 38
17
Do you know where the gates of death are located?
Have you seen the gates of utter gloom?
18
Do you realize the extent of the earth?
Tell me about it if you know!
19
'Where does light come from,
and where does darkness go?
20
Can you take each to its home?
Do you know how to get there?
21
But of course you know all this!
For you were born before it was all created,
and you are so very experienced!
22
'Have you visited the storehouses of the snow
or seen the storehouses of hail?
23
(I have reserved them as weapons for the time of trouble,
for the day of battle and war.)
24
Where is the path to the source of light?
Where is the home of the east wind?
25
'Who created a channel for the torrents of rain?
Who laid out the path for the lightning?
26
Who makes the rain fall on barren land,
in a desert where no one lives?
27
Who sends rain to satisfy the parched ground
and make the tender grass spring up?
28
'Does the rain have a father?
Who gives birth to the dew?
29
Who is the mother of the ice?
Who gives birth to the frost from the heavens?
30
For the water turns to ice as hard as rock,
and the surface of the water freezes.
31
'Can you direct the movement of the stars —
binding the cluster of the Pleiades
or loosening the cords of Orion?
English Standard Version
Chapter 38
17
Have the gates of death been revealed to you,
or have you seen the gates of deep darkness?
18
Have you comprehended the expanse of the earth?
Declare, if you know all this.
19
"Where is the way to the dwelling of light,
and where is the place of darkness,
20
that you may take it to its territory
and that you may discern the paths to its home?
21
You know, for you were born then,
and the number of your days is great!
22
"Have you entered the storehouses of the snow,
or have you seen the storehouses of the hail,
23
which I have reserved for the time of trouble,
for the day of battle and war?
24
What is the way to the place where the light is distributed,
or where the east wind is scattered upon the earth?
25
"Who has cleft a channel for the torrents of rain
and a way for the thunderbolt,
26
to bring rain on a land where no man is,
on the desert in which there is no man,
27
to satisfy the waste and desolate land,
and to make the ground sprout with grass?
28
"Has the rain a father,
or who has begotten the drops of dew?
29
From whose womb did the ice come forth,
and who has given birth to the frost of heaven?
30
The waters become hard like stone,
and the face of the deep is frozen.
31
"Can you bind the chains of the Pleiades
or loose the cords of Orion?
New International Version
Chapter 38
17
Have the gates of death been shown to you?
Have you seen the gates of the deepest darkness?
18
Have you comprehended the vast expanses of the earth?
Tell me, if you know all this.
19
"What is the way to the abode of light?
And where does darkness reside?
20
Can you take them to their places?
Do you know the paths to their dwellings?
21
Surely you know, for you were already born!
You have lived so many years!
22
"Have you entered the storehouses of the snow
or seen the storehouses of the hail,
23
which I reserve for times of trouble,
for days of war and battle?
24
What is the way to the place where the lightning is dispersed,
or the place where the east winds are scattered over the earth?
25
Who cuts a channel for the torrents of rain,
and a path for the thunderstorm,
26
to water a land where no one lives,
an uninhabited desert,
27
to satisfy a desolate wasteland
and make it sprout with grass?
28
Does the rain have a father?
Who fathers the drops of dew?
29
From whose womb comes the ice?
Who gives birth to the frost from the heavens
30
when the waters become hard as stone,
when the surface of the deep is frozen?
31
"Can you bind the chains of the Pleiades?
Can you loosen Orion’s belt?
New King James Version
Chapter 38
17
Have the gates of death been revealed to you?
Or have you seen the doors of the shadow of death?
18
Have you comprehended the breadth of the earth?
Tell
Me,
if you know all this.
19
“Where
is
the way
to
the dwelling of light?
And darkness, where
is
its place,
20
That you may take it to its territory,
That you may know the paths
to
its home?
21
Do you know
it,
because you were born then,
Or
because
the number of your days
is
great?
22
“Have you entered the treasury of snow,
Or have you seen the treasury of hail,
23
Which I have reserved for the time of trouble,
For the day of battle and war?
24
By what way is light diffused,
Or
the east wind scattered over the earth?
25
“Who has divided a channel for the overflowing
water,
Or a path for the thunderbolt,
26
To cause it to rain on a land
where there is
no one,
A wilderness in which
there is
no man;
27
To satisfy the desolate waste,
And cause to spring forth the growth of tender grass?
28
Has the rain a father?
Or who has begotten the drops of dew?
29
From whose womb comes the ice?
And the frost of heaven, who gives it birth?
30
The waters harden like stone,
And the surface of the deep is frozen.
31
“Can you bind the cluster of the Pleiades,
Or loose the belt of Orion?
