Job 38

The Latin Vulgate VUL

1 respondens autem Dominus Iob de turbine dixit

2 quis est iste involvens sententias sermonibus inperitis

3 accinge sicut vir lumbos tuos interrogabo te et responde mihi

4 ubi eras quando ponebam fundamenta terrae indica mihi si habes intellegentiam

5 quis posuit mensuras eius si nosti vel quis tetendit super eam lineam

6 super quo bases illius solidatae sunt aut quis dimisit lapidem angularem eius

7 cum me laudarent simul astra matutina et iubilarent omnes filii Dei

8 quis conclusit ostiis mare quando erumpebat quasi de vulva procedens

9 cum ponerem nubem vestimentum eius et caligine illud quasi pannis infantiae obvolverem

10 circumdedi illud terminis meis et posui vectem et ostia

11 et dixi usque huc venies et non procedes amplius et hic confringes tumentes fluctus tuos

12 numquid post ortum tuum praecepisti diluculo et ostendisti aurorae locum suum

13 et tenuisti concutiens extrema terrae et excussisti impios ex ea

14 restituetur ut lutum signaculum et stabit sicut vestimentum

15 auferetur ab impiis lux sua et brachium excelsum confringetur

16 numquid ingressus es profunda maris et in novissimis abyssis deambulasti

17 numquid apertae tibi sunt portae mortis et ostia tenebrosa vidisti

18 numquid considerasti latitudines terrae indica mihi si nosti omnia

19 in qua via habitet lux et tenebrarum quis locus sit

20 ut ducas unumquodque ad terminos suos et intellegas semitas domus eius

21 sciebas tunc quod nasciturus esses et numerum dierum tuorum noveras

22 numquid ingressus es thesauros nivis aut thesauros grandinis aspexisti

23 quae praeparavi in tempus hostis in diem pugnae et belli

24 per quam viam spargitur lux dividitur aestus super terram

25 quis dedit vehementissimo imbri cursum et viam sonantis tonitrui

26 ut plueret super terram absque homine in deserto ubi nullus mortalium commoratur

27 ut impleret inviam et desolatam et produceret herbas virentes

28 quis est pluviae pater vel quis genuit stillas roris

29 de cuius utero egressa est glacies et gelu de caelo quis genuit

30 in similitudinem lapidis aquae durantur et superficies abyssi constringitur

31 numquid coniungere valebis micantes stellas Pliadis aut gyrum Arcturi poteris dissipare

32 numquid producis luciferum in tempore suo et vesperum super filios terrae consurgere facis

33 numquid nosti ordinem caeli et pones rationem eius in terra

34 numquid elevabis in nebula vocem tuam et impetus aquarum operiet te

35 numquid mittes fulgura et ibunt et revertentia dicent tibi adsumus

36 quis posuit in visceribus hominis sapientiam vel quis dedit gallo intellegentiam

37 quis enarravit caelorum rationem et concentum caeli quis dormire faciet

38 quando fundebatur pulvis in terram et glebae conpingebantur

39 numquid capies leaenae praedam et animam catulorum eius implebis

40 quando cubant in antris et in specubus insidiantur

41 quis praeparat corvo escam suam quando pulli eius ad Deum clamant vagantes eo quod non habeant cibos

English Standard Version ESV

1 Then the Lord answered Job out of the whirlwind and said:

2 “Who is this that darkens counsel by words without knowledge?

3 Dress for action like a man; I will question you, and you make it known to me.

4 “Where were you when I laid the foundation of the earth? Tell me, if you have understanding.

5 Who determined its measurements—surely you know! Or who stretched the line upon it?

6 On what were its bases sunk, 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 in the sea with doors when it burst out from the womb,

9 when I made clouds its garment and thick darkness its swaddling band,

10 and prescribed limits for it and set bars and doors,

11 and said, ‘Thus far shall you come, and no farther, and here shall your proud waves be stayed’?

12 “Have you commanded the morning since your days began, and caused the dawn to know its place,

13 that it might take hold of the skirts of the earth, and the wicked be shaken out of it?

14 It is changed like clay under the seal, and its features stand out like a garment.

15 From the wicked their light is withheld, and their uplifted arm is broken.

16 “Have you entered into the springs of the sea, or walked in the recesses of the deep?

17 Have the gates of death been revealed to you, or have you seen the gates of deep darkness?

18 Have you comprehended the expanse of the earth? Declare, if you know all this.

19 “Where is the way to the dwelling of light, and where is the place of darkness,

20 that you may take it to its territory and that you may discern the paths to its home?

21 You know, for you were born then, and the number of your days is great!

22 “Have you entered the storehouses of the snow, or have you seen the storehouses of the hail,

23 which I have reserved for the time of trouble, for the day of battle and war?

24 What is the way to the place where the light is distributed, or where the east wind is scattered upon the earth?

25 “Who has cleft a channel for the torrents of rain and a way for the thunderbolt,

26 to bring rain on a land where no man is, on the desert in which there is no man,

27 to satisfy the waste and desolate land, and to make the ground sprout with grass?

28 “Has the rain a father, or who has begotten the drops of dew?

29 From whose womb did the ice come forth, and who has given birth to the frost of heaven?

30 The waters become hard like stone, and the face of the deep is frozen.

31 “Can you bind the chains of the Pleiades or loose the cords of Orion?

32 Can you lead forth the Mazzaroth in their season, or can you guide the Bear with its children?

33 Do you know the ordinances of the heavens? Can you establish their rule on the earth?

34 “Can you lift up your voice to the clouds, that a flood of waters may cover you?

35 Can you send forth lightnings, that they may go and say to you, ‘Here we are’?

36 Who has put wisdom in the inward parts or given understanding to the mind?

37 Who can number the clouds by wisdom? Or who can tilt the waterskins of the heavens,

38 when the dust runs into a mass and the clods stick fast together?

39 “Can you hunt the prey for the lion, or satisfy the appetite of the young lions,

40 when they crouch in their dens or lie in wait in their thicket?

41 Who provides for the raven its prey, when its young ones cry to God for help, and wander about for lack of food?
