Job 38:12-21

Living Bible

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?

¹⁶ “Have you explored the springs from which the seas come, or walked in the sources of their depths? ^17-18 Has the location of the gates of death been revealed to you? Do you realize the extent of the earth? Tell me about it if you know! ¹⁹ Where does the light come from, and how do you get there? Or tell me about the darkness. Where does it come from? ²⁰ Can you find its boundaries, or go to its source? ²¹ But of course you know all this! For you were born before it was all created, and you are so very experienced!
