1 Then the Lord answered Job out of the storm and said:
2 Who is this who darkens counselwith words of ignorance?
3 Gird up your loins now, like a man;I will question you, and you tell me the answers!
4 Where were you when I founded the earth?Tell me, if you have understanding.
5 Who determined its size? Surely you know?Who stretched out the measuring line for it?
6 Into what were its pedestals sunk,and who laid its cornerstone,
7 While the morning stars sang togetherand all the sons of God shouted for joy?
