ESV

1	Then the LORD answered Job out of the whirlwind and said:
2	“Who is this that darkens counsel by words without knowledge?
3	Dress for action like a man; I will question you, and you make it known to me.
4	“Where were you when I laid the foundation 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	On what were its bases sunk, or who laid its cornerstone,
7	when the morning stars sang together and all the sons of God shouted for joy?
8	“Or who shut in the sea with doors when it burst out from the womb,
9	when I made clouds its garment and thick darkness its swaddling band,
10	and prescribed limits for it and set bars and doors,
11	and said, 'Thus far shall you come, and no farther, and here shall your proud waves be stayed'?
12	“Have you commanded the morning since your days began, and caused the dawn to know its place,
13	that it might take hold of the skirts of the earth, and the wicked be shaken out of it?
14	It is changed like clay under the seal, and its features stand out like a garment.
15	From the wicked their light is withheld, and their uplifted arm is broken.
16	“Have you entered into the springs of the sea, or walked in the recesses of the deep?
17	Have the gates of death been revealed to you, or have you seen the gates of deep darkness?
18	Have you comprehended the expanse of the earth? Declare, if you know all this.
19	“Where is the way to the dwelling of light, and where is the place of darkness,
20	that you may take it to its territory and that you may discern the paths to its home?
21	You know, for you were born then, and the number of your days is great!
22	“Have you entered the storehouses of the snow, or have you seen the storehouses of the hail,
23	which I have reserved for the time of trouble, for the day of battle and war?
24	What is the way to the place where the light is distributed, or where the east wind is scattered upon the earth?
25	“Who has cleft a channel for the torrents of rain and a way for the thunderbolt,
26	to bring rain on a land where no man is, on the desert in which there is no man,
27	to satisfy the waste and desolate land, and to make the ground sprout with grass?
28	“Has the rain a father, or who has begotten the drops of dew?
29	From whose womb did the ice come forth, and who has given birth to the frost of heaven?
30	The waters become hard like stone, and the face of the deep is frozen.
31	“Can you bind the chains of the Pleiades or loose the cords of Orion?
32	Can you lead forth the Mazzaroth1 in their season, or can you guide the Bear with its children?
33	Do you know the ordinances of the heavens? Can you establish their rule on the earth?
34	“Can you lift up your voice to the clouds, that a flood of waters may cover you?
35	Can you send forth lightnings, that they may go and say to you, 'Here we are'?
36	Who has put wisdom in the inward parts or given understanding to the mind?
37	Who can number the clouds by wisdom? Or who can tilt the waterskins of the heavens,
38	when the dust runs into a mass and the clods stick fast together?
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 lie in wait in their thicket?
41	Who provides for the raven its prey, when its young ones cry to God for help, and wander about for lack of food?

NIV

1	Then the LORD answered Job out of the storm. He said:
2	“Who is this that darkens my counsel with words without knowledge?
3	Brace yourself like a man; I will question you, and you shall answer me.
4	“Where were you when I laid the earth's foundation? Tell me, if you understand.
5	Who marked off its dimensions? Surely you know! Who stretched a measuring line across it?
6	On what were its footings set, or who laid its cornerstone-
7	while the morning stars sang together and all the angels shouted for joy?
8	“Who shut up the sea behind doors when it burst forth from the womb,
9	when I made the clouds its garment and wrapped it in thick darkness,
10	when I fixed limits for it and set its doors and bars in place,
11	when I said, 'This far you may come and no farther; here is where your proud waves halt'?
12	“Have you ever given orders to the morning, or shown the dawn its place,
13	that it might take the earth by the edges and shake the wicked out of it?
14	The earth takes shape like clay under a seal; its features stand out like those of a garment.
15	The wicked are denied their light, and their upraised arm is broken.
16	“Have you journeyed to the springs of the sea or walked in the recesses of the deep?
17	Have the gates of death been shown to you? Have you seen the gates of the shadow of death?
18	Have you comprehended the vast expanses of the earth? Tell me, if you know all this.
19	“What is the way to the abode of light? And where does darkness reside?
20	Can you take them to their places? Do you know the paths to their dwellings?
21	Surely you know, for you were already born! You have lived so many years!
22	“Have you entered the storehouses of the snow or seen the storehouses of the hail,
23	which I reserve for times of trouble, for days of war and battle?
24	What is the way to the place where the lightning is dispersed, or the place where the east winds are scattered over the earth?
25	Who cuts a channel for the torrents of rain, and a path for the thunderstorm,
26	to water a land where no man lives, a desert with no one in it,
27	to satisfy a desolate wasteland and make it sprout with grass?
28	Does the rain have a father? Who fathers the drops of dew?
29	From whose womb comes the ice? Who gives birth to the frost from the heavens
30	when the waters become hard as stone, when the surface of the deep is frozen?
31	“Can you bind the beautiful Pleiades? Can you loose the cords of Orion?
32	Can you bring forth the constellations in their seasons or lead out the Bear with its cubs?
33	Do you know the laws of the heavens? Can you set up God's dominion over the earth?
34	“Can you raise your voice to the clouds and cover yourself with a flood of water?
35	Do you send the lightning bolts on their way? Do they report to you, 'Here we are'?
36	Who endowed the heart with wisdom or gave understanding to the mind?
37	Who has the wisdom to count the clouds? Who can tip over the water jars of the heavens
38	when the dust becomes hard and the clods of earth stick together?
39	“Do you hunt the prey for the lioness and satisfy the hunger of the lions
40	when they crouch in their dens or lie in wait in a thicket?
41	Who provides food for the raven when its young cry out to God and wander about for lack of food?

NLT

1	Then the LORD answered Job from the whirlwind:
2	“Who is this that questions my wisdom with such ignorant words?
3	Brace yourself like a man, because I have some questions for you, and you must answer them.
4	“Where were you when I laid the foundations of the earth? Tell me, if you know so much.
5	Who determined its dimensions and stretched out the surveying line?
6	What supports its foundations, and who laid its cornerstone
7	as the morning stars sang together and all the angels shouted for joy?
8	“Who kept the sea inside its boundaries as it burst from the womb,
9	and as I clothed it with clouds and wrapped it in thick darkness?
10	For I locked it behind barred gates, limiting its shores.
11	I said, 'This far and no farther will you come. Here your proud waves must stop!'
12	“Have you ever commanded the morning to appear and caused the dawn to rise in the east?
13	Have you made daylight spread to the ends of the earth, to bring an end to the night's wickedness?
14	As the light approaches, the earth takes shape like clay pressed beneath a seal; it is robed in brilliant colors.
15	The light disturbs the wicked and stops the arm that is raised in violence.
16	“Have you explored the springs from which the seas come? Have you explored their depths?
17	Do you know where the gates of death are located? Have you seen the gates of utter gloom?
18	Do you realize the extent of the earth? Tell me about it if you know!
19	“Where does light come from, and where does darkness go?
20	Can you take each to its home? Do you know how to get there?
21	But of course you know all this! For you were born before it was all created, and you are so very experienced!
22	“Have you visited the storehouses of the snow or seen the storehouses of hail?
23	(I have reserved them as weapons for the time of trouble, for the day of battle and war.)
24	Where is the path to the source of light? Where is the home of the east wind?
25	“Who created a channel for the torrents of rain? Who laid out the path for the lightning?
26	Who makes the rain fall on barren land, in a desert where no one lives?
27	Who sends rain to satisfy the parched ground and make the tender grass spring up?
28	“Does the rain have a father? Who gives birth to the dew?
29	Who is the mother of the ice? Who gives birth to the frost from the heavens?
30	For the water turns to ice as hard as rock, and the surface of the water freezes.
31	“Can you direct the movement of the stars– binding the cluster of the Pleiades or loosening the cords of Orion?
32	Can you direct the sequence of the seasons or guide the Bear with her cubs across the heavens?
33	Do you know the laws of the universe? Can you use them to regulate the earth?
34	“Can you shout to the clouds and make it rain?
35	Can you make lightning appear and cause it to strike as you direct?
36	Who gives intuition to the heart and instinct to the mind?
37	Who is wise enough to count all the clouds? Who can tilt the water jars of heaven
38	when the parched ground is dry and the soil has hardened into clods?
39	“Can you stalk prey for a lioness and satisfy the young lions' appetites
40	as they lie in their dens or crouch in the thicket?
41	Who provides food for the ravens when their young cry out to God and wander about in hunger?

KJV

1	Then the LORD answered Job out of the whirlwind, and said,
2	Who is this that darkeneth counsel by words without knowledge?
3	Gird up now thy loins like a man; for I will demand of thee, and answer thou me.
4	Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth? declare, if thou hast 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;
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,
11	And said, Hitherto shalt thou come, but no further: and here shall thy proud waves be stayed?
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?
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?
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?
30	The waters are hid as with a stone, and the face of the deep is frozen.
31	Canst thou bind the sweet 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 sons?
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?
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,
38	When the dust groweth into hardness, and the clods cleave fast together?
39	Wilt thou hunt the prey for the lion? or fill the appetite of the young lions,
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.
