- 4
- “Where were you when I laid the foundation of the earth? Tell me, if you have understanding.

- Who determined its measurements—surely you know! Or who stretched the line upon it?
- 6
- On what were its bases sunk, or who laid its cornerstone,
- 7
- when the morning stars sang together and all the sons of God shouted for joy?
- 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’?

- 13
- that it might take hold of the skirts of the earth, and the wicked be shaken out of it?

- 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.

- 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

- 37
- Who can number the clouds by wisdom? Or who can tilt the waterskins of the heavens,
- 38
- when the dust runs into a mass and the clods stick fast together?
