Job 38:6-17 Douay-Rheims Challoner Revision 1752 (DRC1752)

6. Upon what are its bases grounded? or who laid the corner stone thereof,

7. When the morning stars praised me together, and all the sons of God made a joyful melody?

8. Who shut up the sea with doors, when it broke forth as issuing out of the womb:

9. when I made a cloud the garment thereof, and wrapped it in a mist as in swaddling bands?

10. I set my bounds around it, and made it bars and doors:

11. And I said: Hitherto thou shalt come, and shalt go no further, and here thou shalt break thy swelling waves.

12. Didst thou since thy birth command the morning, and shew the dawning of the day its place?

13. And didst thou hold the extremities of the earth shaking them, and hast thou shaken the ungodly out of it?

14. The seal shall be restored as clay, and shall stand as a garment:

15. From the wicked their light shall be taken away, and the high arm shall be broken.

16. Hast thou entered into the depths of the sea, and walked in the lowest parts of the deep?

17. Have the gates of death been opened to thee, and hast thou seen the darksome doors?
