Hearken unto this, O Job: stand still, and consider the wondrous works of God.

Dost thou know when God disposed them, and caused the light of his cloud to shine?

Hast thou with him spread out the sky, which is strong, and as a molten looking glass?

And now men see not the bright light which is in the clouds: but the wind passeth, and cleanseth them.

Then the LORD answered Job out of the whirlwind, and said,

Gird up now thy loins like a man; for I will demand of thee, and answer thou me.

When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy?

When I made the cloud the garment thereof, and thick darkness a swaddlingband for it,

And brake up for it my decreed place, and set bars and doors,

And brake up for it my decreed place, and set bars and doors,

And brake up for it my decreed place, and set bars and doors,

And said, Hitherto shalt thou come, but no further: and here shall thy proud waves be stayed?

He paweth in the valley, and rejoiceth in his strength: he goeth on to meet the armed men.

He mocketh at fear, and is not affrighted; neither turneth he back from the sword.

Doth the hawk fly by thy wisdom, and stretch her wings toward the south?

Doth the eagle mount up at thy command, and make her nest on high?

She dwelleth and abideth on the rock, upon the crag of the rock, and the strong place.

She dwelleth and abideth on the rock, upon the crag of the rock, and the strong place.

Hide them in the dust together; and bind their faces in secret.

Lo now, his strength is in his loins, and his force is in the navel of his belly.

He lieth under the shady trees, in the covert of the reed, and fens.

Behold, he drinketh up a river, and hasteth not: he trusteth that he can draw up Jordan into his mouth.

By his neesings a light doth shine, and his eyes are like the eyelids of the morning.
