Job 38:4-14

Job 38:4-14

[4] Where  wast thou when I laid the foundations  of the earth?  declare,  if thou hast  understanding.  [5] Who hath laid  the measures  thereof, if thou knowest?  or who hath stretched  the line  [6] Whereupon are the foundations  thereof fastened?  or who laid  the corner  stone  [7] When the morning  stars  sang  together,  and all the sons  of God  shouted  [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  [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  [14] It is turned  as clay  to the seal;  and they stand  as a garment.
