Where were thou when I laid the foundations of the earth? Declare, if thou have understanding. Who determined the measures of it, if thou know? Or who stretched the line upon it? Upon what were the foundations of it fastened? Or who laid the corner-stone of it when the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy? Or [who] shut up the sea with doors when it broke forth, [like] it had issued out of the womb, when I made clouds the garment of it, and thick darkness a swaddling-band for it, and marked out for it my bound, and set bars and doors, and said, This far thou shall come, but no further, and here thy proud waves shall be stayed? Have thou commanded the morning since thy days [began], [and] caused the dayspring to know its place that it might take hold of the ends of the earth, and the wicked be shaken out of it? It is changed as clay under the seal, and [all things] stand forth as a garment. And from the wicked their light is withheld, and the high arm is broken.

And as for darkness, where is the place of it that thou should take it to the bound of it, and that thou should discern the paths to the house of it? Thou know, for thou were born then, and the number of thy days is great! Have thou entered the treasuries of the snow, or have thou seen the treasures of the hail, which I have reserved against the time of trouble, against the day of battle and war? By what way is the light divided, or the east wind scattered upon the earth? Who has cleft a channel for the water flood, or the way for the lightning of the thunder, to cause it to rain on a land where no man is, on the wilderness, in which there is no man, to satisfy the waste and desolate [ground], and to cause the tender grass to spring forth? Has the rain a father? Or who has begotten the drops of dew? Out of whose womb came the ice? And the hoary frost of heaven, who has engendered it? The waters hide themselves [and become] like stone, and the face of the deep is frozen. Can thou bind the cluster of the Pleiades, or loose the bands of Orion? Can thou lead forth the Mazzaroth in their season? Or can thou guide the Bear with her train? Do thou know the ordinances of the heavens? Can thou establish the dominion of it on the earth? Can thou lift up thy voice to the clouds, that abundance of waters may cover thee? Can thou send forth lightnings, that they may go, and say to thee, Here we are? Who has put wisdom in the inward parts? Or who has given understanding to the mind? Who can number the clouds by wisdom? Or who can pour out the bottles of heaven when the dust runs into a mass, and the clods cleave fast together? Can thou hunt the prey for the lioness, or satisfy the appetite of the young lions when they couch in their dens, [and] abide in the covert to lie in wait? Who provides for the raven his prey when his young ones cry to God, [and] wander for lack of food?

Woe to him who strives with his maker, a potsherd among the potsherds of the earth! Shall the clay say to him that fashions it, What are thou making? or thy work, He has no hands?read more.
Woe to him who says to a father, What are thou begetting? or to a woman, With what are thou travailing? Thus says LORD, the Holy One of Israel and his maker: Ask me of the things that are to come concerning my sons. And command ye me concerning the work of my hands.
