1 Then the Lord answered Iob out of the whirlewind, and sayd,
2 Who is this that darkneth counsell by words without knowledge?
3 Gird vp nowe thy loines like a man; for I will demaund of thee, and answere thou me.
4 Where wast thou when I layd the foundations of the earth? declare, if thou hast vnderstanding.
5 Who hath layd the measures thereof, if thou knowest? or who hath stretched the line vpon it?
6 Wherepuon are the foundations thereof fastened? or who layd the corner stone thereof?
7 When the morning starres sang together, and all the sonnes of God shouted for ioy.
8 Or who shut vp the sea with doores, when it brake foorth as if it had issued out of the wombe?
9 When I made the cloud the garment thereof, and thicke darknesse a swadling band for it,
10 And brake vp for it my decreed place, and set barres and doores,
11 And said, Hitherto shalt thou come, but no further: and heere shall thy proud waues be stayed.
12 Hast thou commaunded the morning since thy daies? and caused the day-spring to know his place,
13 That it might take hold of the endes of the earth, that the wicked might be shaken out of it?
14 It is turned as clay to the seale, and they stand as a garment.
15 And from the wicked their light is withholden, and the high arme shalbe broken.
16 Hast thou entred into the springs of the sea? or hast thou walked in the search of the depth?
17 Haue the gates of death bene opened vnto thee? or hast thou seene the doores of the shadow of death?
18 Hast thou perceiued the breadth of the earth? Declare if thou knowest it all.
19 Where is the way where light dwelleth? And as for darknesse, where is the place thereof?
21 Knowest thou it, because thou wast then borne? or because the number of thy daies is great?
22 Hast thou entred into the treasures of the snowe? or hast thou seene the treasures of the haile,
23 Which I haue reserued against the time of trouble, against the day of battaile and warre?
24 By what way is the light parted? which scattereth the East wind vpon the earth.
26 To cause it to raine on the earth, where no man is: on the wildernesse wherein there is no man?
27 To satisfie the desolate and waste ground, and to cause the bud of the tender herbe to spring forth.
28 Hath the raine a father? or who hath begotten the drops of dew?
29 Out of whose wombe came the yce? and the hoary frost of heauen, who hath gendred it?
30 The waters are hid as with a stone, and the face of the deepe is frozen.
31 Canst thou bind the sweete influences of Pleiades? or loose the bands of Orion?
32 Canst thou bring forth Mazzaroth in his season, or canst thou guide Arcturus with his sonnes?
33 Knowest thou the ordinances of heauen? canst thou set the dominion thereof in the earth?
34 Canst thou lift vp thy voice to the cloudes, that abundance of waters may couer thee?
35 Canst thou send lightnings, that they may goe, and say vnto thee, Here we are?
36 Who hath put wisedome in the inward parts? or who hath giuen vnderstanding to the heart?
37 Who can number the cloudes in wisedome? or who can stay the bottles of heauen,
38 When the dust groweeh into hardnesse, and the clods cleaue fast together?
39 Wilt thou hunt the pray for the lyon? or fill the appetite of the young lyons,
40 When they couch in their dennes, and abide in the couert to lie in waite?

Brian's Job Chapter 38 comment about verse 32 on 5/18/2013, 9:48am...
[see Job 38:31a] - "Can you bind the chains of the Pleiades,...? Constellations are seen by those on the Earth as a "snap-shot" of the movement of stars, which may be seen to stay in the same relative positions for centuries, because of their distance from Earth. Most stars move in random directions relative to each other, even though they're moving away from the center of the "Big Bang"; they DON'T move in groups. The Pleiades, however, is a group of about 250 stars which ALL MOVE TOGETHER, in the same direction, and at the same speed! It's the only star group of its type in existance - and it's mentioned, by name, by God. (Things that make you say, "Hmm...".)
Brian's Job Chapter 38 comment about verse 32 on 5/18/2013, 9:37am...
Arcturus is also a "run away" star system; it's travelling at about 12 times the speed of other stars in its local area - interesting that God just happens to mention this star, isn't it?
Joanne's Job Chapter 38 comment on 5/15/2013, 11:49am...
I love this chapter of God speaking to Job. God shows Job his infinite wisdom, power, and control over everything. If we put ourselves in Job's place, we get a taste of how Job felt kneeling before the creator. Awesome!!!! Yet he loves us. God has the forces of nature at his command and he can use them to help us {his children}. These forces of nature are not just for revelation. Throughout history there are accounts of God helping his children with forces of nature. Three accounts are Washington, Joshua, and Israel during the six day war, and many more.
ChudiObiesie's Job Chapter 38 comment about verse 12 on 1/02/2013, 8:06pm...
The greatest weapon we have is prayer. The days are evil and we need to take charge of situations around us which calls for the need to rise early and call upon HIM who is able to help us. We need to posses the gates of our enemies.
David's Job Chapter 38 comment about verse 7 on 1/02/2013, 12:28pm...
Actually the angels did assist Him in creation.
Timothy Wayne George's Job Chapter 38 comment about verse 23 on 12/25/2012, 10:51am...
God wants Job to know that He rules in the affairs of men, even in war. God directs the hearts of men to accomplish His will. There will always be wars, and rumors of wars. Nevertheless, there will come in the battle of Armageddon a war to end all wars, where God will judge all the nations of the world in the valley of Jehoshaphat, for there will God sit to judge all the heathen round about. Multitudes, multitudes will be in the valley of decision, for the day of the Lord is near in the valley of decision. Just before the Lord's second Advent the sun and the moon shall be darkened, and the stars shall withdraw their shining. Then the Lord shall roar out of Zion, and utter His voice from Jerusalem, and the heavens and earth shall shake, but the Lord shall be the hope of His people, and the strength of the children of Israel.
Walter's Job Chapter 38 comment on 12/25/2012, 7:39am...
I have thoughts about the snow and hail being reserved for the day of battle and war. Could this be the war Armageddon as mentioned in the book of Revelation 16:16?
André's Job Chapter 38 comment on 10/04/2012, 3:51pm...
@Theresa,
Please look at 1 Timothy 2:1-2.
I hope this is the scripture you are looking for.
God bless you.
