Job 38:12–21

12  sHast thou commanded the morning since thy days;

And caused the dayspring to know his place;

13  That it might take hold of the †ends of the earth,

That the wicked might be tshaken out of it?

14  It is turned as clay to the seal;

And they stand as a garment.

15  And from the wicked utheir light is withholden,

And xthe high arm shall be broken.

16  Hast thou entered into the springs of the sea?

Or hast thou walked in the search of the depth?

17  Have ythe gates of death been opened unto thee?

Or hast thou seen the doors of zthe shadow of death?

18  Hast thou aperceived the breadth of the earth?

Declare if thou knowest it all.

19  bWhere is the way where light dwelleth?

And as for darkness, where is the place thereof,

20  That thou shouldest take it ||to the bound thereof,

And that thou shouldest know cthe paths to the house thereof?

21  Knowest thou it, dbecause thou wast then born?

Or because the number of thy days is great?
