			3	Gird up# now thy loins like a man; for I will demand# of thee, and answer# thou me. [answer...: Heb. make me know]
			4	Where wast thou when I laid the foundations# of the earth? declare# , if thou hast# understanding. [hast...: Heb. knowest understanding]
			5	Who hath laid# the measures thereof, if thou knowest# ? or who hath stretched# the line upon it?
			6	Whereupon are the foundations thereof fastened# ? or who laid# the corner stone thereof; [foundations: Heb. sockets] [fastened: Heb. made to sink?]
			7	When the morning stars sang# together, and all the sons of God shouted# for joy?
			8	Or who shut up# the sea with doors, when it brake forth# , as if it had issued out# of the womb?
			9	When I made# the cloud the garment thereof, and thick darkness a swaddlingband for it,
			10	And brake up# for it my decreed place , and set# bars and doors, [brake...: or, established my decree upon it]
			11	And said# , Hitherto# shalt thou come# , but no further# : and here shall thy proud waves be stayed# ? [thy...: Heb. the pride of thy waves]
			12	Hast 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 shaken out# of it? [ends: Heb. wings]
			14	It is turned# as clay to the seal; and they stand# as a garment.
			15	And from the wicked their light is withholden# , and the 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 the gates of death been opened# unto thee? or hast thou seen# the doors of the shadow of death?
			18	Hast thou perceived# the breadth of the earth? declare# if thou knowest# it all.
			19	Where 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# the paths to the house thereof? [to the bound: or, at, etc]
			21	Knowest# thou it , because thou wast then born# ? or because the number of thy days is great?
			22	Hast thou entered# into the treasures of the snow? or hast thou seen# the treasures of the hail,
			23	Which I have reserved# against the time of trouble, against the day of battle and war?
			24	By what way is the light parted# , which scattereth# the east wind upon the earth?
			25	Who hath divided# a watercourse for the overflowing of waters, or a way for the lightning of thunder;
			26	To cause it to rain# on the earth, where no man is; on the wilderness, wherein there is no man;
			27	To satisfy# the desolate and waste ground ; and to cause the bud of the tender herb to spring forth# ?
			28	Hath the rain a father? or who hath begotten# the drops of dew?
			29	Out of whose womb came# the ice? and the hoary frost of heaven, who hath gendered# it?

			33	Knowest# thou the ordinances of heaven? canst thou set# the dominion thereof in the earth?
			34	Canst thou lift up# thy voice to the clouds, that abundance of waters may cover# thee?
			35	Canst thou send# lightnings, that they may go# , and say# unto thee, Here we are ? [Here...: Heb. Behold us?]
			36	Who hath put# wisdom in the inward parts? or who hath given# understanding to the heart?
			37	Who can number# the clouds in wisdom? or who can stay# the bottles of heaven, [stay: Heb. cause to lie down]
			38	When the dust groweth# into hardness, and the clods cleave fast together# ? [groweth...: or, is turned into mire: Heb. is poured]
			39	Wilt thou hunt# the prey for the lion? or fill# the appetite of the young lions, [the appetite: Heb. the life]
			40	When they couch# in their dens, and abide# in the covert to lie in wait?
			41	Who provideth# for the raven his food? when his young ones cry# unto God, they wander# for lack of meat.
