Job 38:8-35
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 38
8
'Or
who
enclosed the sea with doors
When it went out from the womb, bursting forth;
9
When I made a cloud its garment,
And thick darkness its swaddling bands,
10
And I placed boundaries on it
And set a bolt and doors,
11
And I said, ‘As far as this point you shall come, but no farther;
And here your proud waves shall stop’?
12
'Have you ever in your life commanded the morning,
And
made the dawn know its place,
13
So that it would take hold of the ends of the earth,
And the wicked would be shaken off from it?
14
It is changed like clay
under
the seal;
And they stand out like a garment.
15
Their light is withheld from the wicked,
And the uplifted arm is broken.
16
'Have you entered the springs of the sea,
And walked in the depth of the ocean?
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?
32
Can you bring out a constellation in its season,
And guide the Bear with her satellites?
33
Do you know the ordinances of the heavens,
Or do you establish their rule over the earth?
34
'Can you raise your voice to the clouds,
So that an abundance of water will cover you?
35
Can you send flashes of lightning, so that they may go
And say to you, ‘Here we are’?
King James Version
Chapter 38
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 the cloud the garment thereof, and thick darkness a swaddlingband for it,
10
And brake up for it my decreed place, 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; and caused the dayspring to know his place;
13
That it might take hold of the ends of the earth, that the wicked might be shaken out of it?
14
It is turned as clay to the seal; and they stand as a garment.
15
And from the wicked their light is withholden, and the high arm shall be broken.
16
Hast thou entered into the springs of the sea? or hast thou walked in the search of the depth?
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?
32
Canst thou bring forth Mazzaroth in his season? or canst thou guide Arcturus with his sons?
33
Knowest thou the ordinances of heaven? canst thou set 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 lightnings, that they may go, and say unto thee, Here we are?
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 38
8
Who enclosed the sea behind doors
when it burst from the womb,
9
when I made the clouds its garment
and total darkness its blanket,
10
when I determined its boundaries
and put its bars and doors in place,
11
when I declared: "You may come this far, but no farther;
your proud waves stop here"?
12
Have you ever in your life commanded the morning
or assigned the dawn its place,
13
so it may seize the edges of the earth
and shake the wicked out of it?
14
The earth is changed as clay is by a seal;
its hills stand out like the folds of a garment.
15
Light is withheld from the wicked,
and the arm raised in violence is broken.
16
Have you traveled to the sources of the sea
or walked in the depths of the oceans?
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?
32
Can you bring out the constellations in their season
and lead the Bear and her cubs?
33
Do you know the laws of heaven?
Can you impose its authority on earth?
34
Can you command the clouds
so that a flood of water covers you?
35
Can you send out lightning bolts, and they go?
Do they report to you: "Here we are"?
New Living Translation
Chapter 38
8
'Who kept the sea inside its boundaries
as it burst from the womb,
9
and as I clothed it with clouds
and wrapped it in thick darkness?
10
For I locked it behind barred gates,
limiting its shores.
11
I said, ‘This far and no farther will you come.
Here your proud waves must stop!’
12
'Have you ever commanded the morning to appear
and caused the dawn to rise in the east?
13
Have you made daylight spread to the ends of the earth,
to bring an end to the night’s wickedness?
14
As the light approaches,
the earth takes shape like clay pressed beneath a seal;
it is robed in brilliant colors.
15
The light disturbs the wicked
and stops the arm that is raised in violence.
16
'Have you explored the springs from which the seas come?
Have you explored their depths?
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?
32
Can you direct the constellations through the seasons
or guide the Bear with her cubs across the heavens?
33
Do you know the laws of the universe?
Can you use them to regulate the earth?
34
'Can you shout to the clouds
and make it rain?
35
Can you make lightning appear
and cause it to strike as you direct?
English Standard Version
Chapter 38
8
"Or who shut in the sea with doors
when it burst out from the womb,
9
when I made clouds its garment
and thick darkness its swaddling band,
10
and prescribed limits for it
and set bars and doors,
11
and said, ‘Thus far shall you come, and no farther,
and here shall your proud waves be stayed’?
12
"Have you commanded the morning since your days began,
and caused the dawn to know its place,
13
that it might take hold of the skirts of the earth,
and the wicked be shaken out of it?
14
It is changed like clay under the seal,
and its features stand out like a garment.
15
From the wicked their light is withheld,
and their uplifted arm is broken.
16
"Have you entered into the springs of the sea,
or walked in the recesses of the deep?
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

32

or can you guide the Bear with its children?
33
Do you know the ordinances of the heavens?
Can you establish their rule on the earth?
34
"Can you lift up your voice to the clouds,
that a flood of waters may cover you?
35
Can you send forth lightnings, that they may go
and say to you, ‘Here we are’?
New International Version
Chapter 38
8
"Who shut up the sea behind doors
when it burst forth from the womb,
9
when I made the clouds its garment
and wrapped it in thick darkness,
10
when I fixed limits for it
and set its doors and bars in place,
11
when I said, ‘This far you may come and no farther;
here is where your proud waves halt’?
12
"Have you ever given orders to the morning,
or shown the dawn its place,
13
that it might take the earth by the edges
and shake the wicked out of it?
14
The earth takes shape like clay under a seal;
its features stand out like those of a garment.
15
The wicked are denied their light,
and their upraised arm is broken.
16
"Have you journeyed to the springs of the sea
or walked in the recesses of the deep?
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?
32
Can you bring forth the constellations in their seasons
or lead out the Bear with its cubs?
33
Do you know the laws of the heavens?
Can you set up God’s dominion over the earth?
34
"Can you raise your voice to the clouds
and cover yourself with a flood of water?
35
Do you send the lightning bolts on their way?
Do they report to you, ‘Here we are’?
New King James Version
Chapter 38
8
“Or
who
shut in the sea with doors,
When it burst forth
and
issued from the womb;
9
When I made the clouds its garment,
And thick darkness its swaddling band;
10
When I fixed My limit for it,
And set bars and doors;
11
When I said,
‘This far you may come, but no farther,
And here your proud waves must stop!’
12
“Have you commanded the morning since your days
began,
And
caused the dawn 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 takes on form like clay
under
a seal,
And stands out like a garment.
15
From the wicked their light is withheld,
And the upraised arm is broken.
16
“Have you entered the springs of the sea?
Or have you walked in search of the depths?
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?
32
Can you bring out Mazzaroth in its season?
Or can you guide the Great Bear with its cubs?

Can you set their dominion over the earth?

“Can you lift up your voice to the clouds,
That an abundance of water may cover you?

Can you send out lightnings, that they may go,
And say to you, ‘Here we
