Job 38:4-15

Living Bible

⁴ “Where were you when I laid the foundations of the earth? Tell me, if you know so much. ⁵ Do you know how its dimensions were determined, and who did the surveying? ^6-7 What supports its foundations, and who laid its cornerstone as the morning stars sang together and all the angels shouted for joy?

^8-9 “Who decreed the boundaries of the seas when they gushed from the depths? Who clothed them with clouds and thick darkness ¹⁰ and barred them by limiting their shores, ¹¹ and said, ‘Thus far and no farther shall you come, and here shall your proud waves stop’?

¹² “Have you ever once commanded the morning to appear and caused the dawn to rise in the east? ¹³ Have you ever told the daylight to spread to the ends of the earth, to end the night’s wickedness? ¹⁴ Have you ever robed the dawn in red, ¹⁵ and disturbed the haunts of wicked men, and stopped the arm raised to strike?
