And after the ceasing Elihu of the speech, said the lord to Job through a tempest and cloud, saying:
Who is this the hiding counsel, and constraining matters in heart, from me and imagines to hide?
Tie up as a man your loin! And I will ask you, and you answer me!
Where were you in my laying the foundation the earth? Report to me! if you should have knowledge of understanding.
Who established the measures of it, if you know? Or who the one bringing a measuring cord upon it?
Upon what are its hooks pitched on? And who is the one laying stone angular upon it?
When came to pass the stars, praised me with a great voice with all my angels.
And I shut up the sea with gates, when it was led irresistibly out of belly its mother's going forth.
And I established its cloud clothing, and fog its being swaddled.
And I established its limits, put in place bolts and gates.
And I said to it, Unto this far you shall come, and shall not pass over; and within yourself shall break your waves.
Or by you have I ordered brightness the early morning? And did the morning star behold his own order?
to take hold of the wings of the earth, to shake off the impious from it.
Or did you, having taken earth's clay, shape a living creature, and the power of speech to it establish upon the earth?
And have you removed from the impious the light, the arm and of the proud broke?
Did you come unto the spring of the sea, and in the tracks of the deep walk?
Do the gates of death open to you in fear? And do the gates of Hades, beholding you, become alarmed?
And have you been admonished about the breadth of the under heaven? Announce it indeed to me! How great it is.
And of what kind of land lodges the light? And darkness, what kind of place?
If you could lead me into their limits, and even if you know their paths.
Have you known that it is so then because you were born, and the number of your years great?
But did you come unto the treasuries of snow? The treasuries and of hail have you seen?
And is it reserved to you for the hour of the enemies, for the day of war and battle?
And from what place goes forth the frost, or is dispersed the south wind into the under heaven?
And who prepared rain of the fierce flow, and a way in uproar?
to rain upon the land of which there is no man, the wilderness of which there is no existing man in it;
so as to fill the untrodden and uninhabited land, and to sprout forth the issue of tender shoots?
Who is the rain's father, and who is the one giving birth to droplets of dew?
From out of womb and who comes forth the ice; the frost and in heaven who gave birth to?
Which comes down as if water flowing? The face and of the abyss who alarmed?
And do you perceive the bond Pleiades; and the barrier Orion did you open?
Or will you open Mazuroth in its time? And Hesperus with its tail— will you lead it?
And do you know the circuits of heaven, or the things under heaven with one accord taking place?
And will you call a cloud by voice, and in trembling water of rain the fierce will obey you?
And will you send thunderbolts? and will they go forth? and shall they say to you, What is it?
And who gave women for a woven work wisdom, or for embroidery skill?
And who is the one counting clouds in wisdom, the heaven and unto the earth leaned?
and it is poured as earth's powder, and I have cleaved it as a stone cube?
And will you hunt for the lions a prey? the souls and of dragons fill up?
for they are in awe in their lairs, and they sit in the woods lying in wait.
And who prepared for the crow carrion? young for its to the lord cry out wandering the grain seeking?
