Job 38:3-9 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

3. Gird up your loins now, like a man;I will question you, and you tell me the answers!

4. Where were you when I founded the earth?Tell me, if you have understanding.

5. Who determined its size? Surely you know?Who stretched out the measuring line for it?

6. Into what were its pedestals sunk,and who laid its cornerstone,

7. While the morning stars sang togetherand all the sons of God shouted for joy?

8. Who shut within doors the sea,when it burst forth from the womb,

9. When I made the clouds its garmentand thick darkness its swaddling bands?
