5th Sunday after Pentecost
Job 38:1-11
1)Then the Lord spoke to Job out of the storm. He said:
2)“Who is this that obscures my plans 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’?
