The LORD Speaks
From Out of a Storm Job 38 From out of a storm, the LORD said to Job: 2Why do you talk so much
when you know so little?
 3 Now get ready to face me!
 Can you answer
the questions I ask?
4How did I lay the foundation
for the earth?
 Were you there?
5Doubtless you know who decided
its length and width.
6What supports the foundation?
Who placed the cornerstone,
7while morning stars sang,
and angels rejoiced?
8When the ocean was born,
I set its boundaries
9and wrapped it in blankets
of thickest fog.
10Then I built a wall around it,
locked the gates,
11and said,
"Your powerful waves stop here!
They can go no farther."
Did You Ever Tell the Sun To Rise? 12Did you ever tell the sun to rise?
And did it obey?
13Did it take hold of the earth
and shake out the wicked
like dust from a rug?
14Early dawn outlines the hills
like stitches on clothing
or sketches on clay.
15But its light is too much
for those who are evil,
and their power is broken.
16Job, have you ever walked
on the ocean floor?
17Have you seen the gate
to the world of the dead?
18And how large is the earth?
Tell me, if you know!
19Where is the home of light,
and where does darkness live?
20Can you lead them home?
21I'm certain you must be able to,
since you were already born
when I created everything.
