JOB 38 : v 4-7 (GOD IS SPEAKING)
Can you answer the questions I ask?
How did I lay the foundation for the earth? Were you there?
Doubtless you know who decided its length and width. What supports the foundation?
Who placed the cornerstone, while morning stars sang, and angels rejoiced?
8When the ocean was born, I set its boundaries and wrapped it in blankets of thickest fog.
Then I built a wall around it, locked the gates,
and said, "Your powerful waves stop here! They can go no farther."
12Did you ever tell the sun to rise? And did it obey?
18And how large is the earth? Tell me, if you know!
19Where is the home of light, and where does darkness live?
24From where does lightning leap, or the east wind blow? 25Who carves out a path for thunderstorms?
34Can you order the clouds to send a downpour, 35or will lightning flash at your command?
Who gives birth to the sleet and the frost that fall in winter,
when streams and lakes freeze solid as a rock?
31Can you arrange stars in groups such as Orion and the Pleiades?
Do you control the stars or set in place the Plough and the Little Bear?
19Did you give horses their strength and the flowing hair along their necks?
20Did you make them able to jump like grasshoppers
or to frighten people with their snorting?
27Did you train eagles to build their nests on rocky cliffs, 29where they can look down to spot their next meal?
30Then their young gather to feast wherever the victim lies.

Then Job replied to the LORD : Then Job replied to the LORD :
"I know that "I know that YOU YOU can do all things; can do all things;
no plan of yours can be thwarted. no plan of yours can be thwarted.
