Scripture: Job 38: 4-15, 31-33
Speaker: Mr. Alex Chan
Job 38:4-15(NIV)
4“Where were you when I laid the earth’s foundation?
Tell me, if you understand.
5Who marked off its dimensions? Surely you know!
Who stretched a measuring line across it?
6On what were its footings set,
or who laid its cornerstone—
7while the morning stars sang together
and all the angels (38:7 Hebrew the sons of God) shouted for joy?
8“Who shut up the sea behind doors
when it burst forth from the womb,
9when I made the clouds its garment
and wrapped it in thick darkness,
10when I fixed limits for it
and set its doors and bars in place,
11when 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,
13that it might take the earth by the edges
and shake the wicked out of it?
14The earth takes shape like clay under a seal;
its features stand out like those of a garment.
15The wicked are denied their light,
and their upraised arm is broken.
Job 38:31-33(NIV)
31“Can you bind the chains (38:31 Septuagint; Hebrew beauty) of the Pleiades?
Can you loosen Orion’s belt?
32Can you bring forth the constellations in their seasons (38:32 Or the morning star in its season)
or lead out the Bear (38:32 Or out Leo) with its cubs?
33Do you know the laws of the heavens?
Can you set up God’s (38:33 Or their) dominion over the earth?
