Job 38:1-41 The Lord Reveals His Omnipotence to Job

Job 38:2-3
2
“Who is this who darkens counsel
By words without knowledge?
3
Now prepare yourself like a man;
I will question you, and you shall answer Me.

Job 38:4-7
4
“Where were you when I laid the foundations 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
To what were its foundations fastened?
Or who laid its cornerstone,
7
When the morning stars sang together,
And all the sons of God shouted for joy?

Job 38:8-11
8
“Or who shut in the sea with doors,
When it burst forth and issued from the womb;
9
When I made the clouds its garment,
And thick darkness its swaddling band;
10
When I fixed My limit for it,
And set bars and doors;
11
When I said,
‘This far you may come, but no farther,
And here your proud waves must stop!’

Job 38:16-18
16
“Have you entered the springs of the sea?
Or have you walked in search of the depths?
17
Have the gates of death been revealed to you?
Or have you seen the doors of the shadow of death?
18
Have you comprehended the breadth of the earth?
Tell Me, if you know all this.

Job 38:39-41
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 lurk in their lairs to lie in wait?
41
Who provides food for the raven,
When its young ones cry to God,
And wander about for lack of food?
