Job 38:4-11

World English Bible

⁴ “Where were you when I laid the foundations of the earth?
    Declare, if you have understanding.
⁵ Who determined its measures, if you know?
    Or who stretched the line on it?
⁶ What were its foundations fastened on?
    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 up the sea with doors,
    when it broke out of the womb,
⁹ when I made clouds its garment,
    and wrapped it in thick darkness,
¹⁰ marked out for it my bound,
    set bars and doors,
¹¹ and said, ‘You may come here, but no further.
    Your proud waves shall be stopped here’?
