The Scriptures 1998

Job 38:15-32 The Scriptures 1998 (ISR98)

15. And their light is withheld from the wrong, and the arm lifted up is broken.

16. Have you come to the sources of the sea? Or have you walked about in the recesses of the deep?

17. Were the gates of death revealed to you? Or have you seen the gates of the shadow of death?

18. Have you understood the breadth of the earth? Declare, if you know it all.

19. Where is the way to the dwelling of light? And darkness, where is its place,

20. that you should take it to its boundary, and know the paths to its home?

21. Do you know? For you would have been born then, and the number of your days been many!

22. Have you entered into the storehouses of snow, or have you seen the storehouses of hail,

23. which I have kept for the time of distress, for the day of fighting and battle?

24. Where is the way that light is divided, or the east wind scattered over the earth?

25. Who has cleft a channel for the overflowing water, or a way for the thunderclaps,

26. to make rain fall on land where no one is, a wilderness in which there is no man;

27. to satisfy the wild and waste places, and to make the seeds of grass to sprout?

28. Does the rain have a father? Or who has brought forth the drops of dew?

29. From whose belly comes the ice? And who gave birth to the frost of the heavens?

30. The waters harden like stone, and the surface of the deep is frozen.

31. Do you bind the bands of Kimah, or loosen the cords of Kesil?

32. Do you bring out the constellations in its season? Or do you lead the Bear with its sons?
