Job 38:1-5

2'Who is this who darkens the divine plan By words without knowledge?
3Now tighten the belt on your waist like a man, And I shall ask you, and you inform Me!
4Where were you when I laid the foundation of the earth? Tell Me, if you have understanding,
5Who set its measurements? Since you know. Or who stretched the measuring line over it?
