Job Chapter 38

Job 38

Jehovah finally answers

1 Jehovah answered Job, (in a Whirlwind) and said:

2 should counsel from MY words, darken your knowledge?

3 I will help you to extract/draw out things, because you have enquired to know like a valiant-man. 

4 upon where was the earth set/founded? Boldly declare it, if you know with your understanding:

5 do you know, who put/lay the dimensions, and incline the measuring line?

6 are you not fearful of where  the stones at the corners of its pedestal (eden) are sunk?

7 did your sons/children blow alarm, in the morning for the (angelic) Elohim with one star each, to shout for joy altogether? 

8 where is the door to the sea if there is a sudden burst and who fence-in (protect) that  which will come out from a womb?

9 who put swaddling/wrapping clothes on him for a covering like a thick fog on the cloud;

10 MY decree/statute is like a latch/bolt that is put on a door which someone may burst.

11 When I position waves, and I say, go as long as here, who, in his arrogancy will add more?

12 I commanded the breaking of the day/dawn of days and everyone knows when it is morning in their own places, - 

13 - so that, shaking will catch the wicked unto the extreme end of the earth.

14 I turn clay around, place MY seal/signature on it like a garment. 

15 I debar light from the wicked and his highly raised arms are broken:

16 Who has gone to the abyss/depth of the surge of the sea? Who can walk around to research into its complexity/intricacies? 

17 who can reveal the gate of the place of death or who have seen the gate to the place of shadow of death?

18 do you understand the width of the earth? Boldly declare it, if you know it. 

19 why are you on the way to a place of darkness, when you can be with those who dwell near light?

20 If you understand the route to their border/coast, you would have taken your households there.

21 do you know how you are born? How abundant is the number of your days?

22 have you gone to the depository/treasure of snow or see the depository/treasure of hails (frozen precipitation)?

23 what put a time/season in the dark like war and days like battles in a tight place?

24 how was the Island/CONTINENTS apportioned to the predecessors of the earth and where is the way of light, that is dispersed abroad upon it?

25 It was the flood/deluge that splitted IT through canals/channels and a sound through the ways of the flashes of lightning,

26 I rain on earth for men like Adam in the desert. - 

27 And, as an escape/way-out of the holocaust and the ruins, who satiate them with tender green grasses that sprouts out for them? 

28 If droplet of dew existed, should there be rain? Who is the FATHER/(Life giver) of those you give birth to?

29 Just as solid ice and frosty-layer come forth from the sky, how does belly beget baby? 

30 the stones hidden in the abyss/depth and the waters trapped in it are in MY FACE. 

31 what is enticing/appealing to you in opening up a bonded quantity of fatty delicacies? 

32 What time will something notable/distinct (mazzarah) come out? Who is the Son that will guide/lead the  arrangement/assemblage? 

33 Who can know MY ordinances? Who can set/put (MY) regime/jurisdiction in heaven on earth? (ref: Matt 6:10)

34 because, MY VOICE is highly raised to cover over waters and thick clouds in copiousness - - 

35 - - it is said, some walk around  when flashes of lightning are sent out.

36 how will wisdom be placed and span through/extended to everybody? Who will probably give them understanding?

37 who can reckon/account things of wisdom while he lies down, laughing and playing leather-bottles-musical-instruments under the sky?

38 How did the lumps from the dust of the earth adhere together like casted solid metal?

39 why does lioness still hunt for fresh-prey when walled villages (of carefree infidel) are replenished with living beings? 

40 why laying ambush to depress those sitting down in their booth, just for the sake of shielding yourself against afflictions from them?

41 who prepare games/a catch for young one of raven? when the main-leader (el), who had gone astray, was without food and was crying for help.
