Verses of Job 38 of the NKJV from the book of the bible

KJV ASV NIV NKJV

1 - Then the LORD answered Job out of the whirlwind, and said:
2 - "Who is this who darkens counsel By words without knowledge?
3 - Now prepare yourself like a man; I will question you, and you shall answer Me.
4 - "Where were you when I laid the foundations 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 - To what were its foundations fastened? 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 forth and issued from the womb;
9 - When I made the clouds its garment, And thick darkness its swaddling band;
10 - When I fixed My limit for it, And set bars and doors;
11 - When I said, "This far you may come, but no farther, And here your proud waves must stop!'
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 ends of the earth, And the wicked be shaken out of it?
14 - It takes on form like clay under a seal, And stands out like a garment.
15 - From the wicked their light is withheld, And the upraised arm is broken.
16 - "Have you entered the springs of the sea? Or have you walked in search of the depths?
17 - Have the gates of death been revealed to you? Or have you seen the doors of the shadow of death?
18 - Have you comprehended the breadth of the earth? Tell Me, if you know all this.
19 - "Where is the way to the dwelling of light? And darkness, where is its place,
20 - That you may take it to its territory, That you may know the paths to its home?
21 - Do you know it, because you were born then, Or because the number of your days is great?
22 - "Have you entered the treasury of snow, Or have you seen the treasury of hail,
23 - Which I have reserved for the time of trouble, For the day of battle and war?
24 - By what way is light diffused, Or the east wind scattered over the earth?
25 - "Who has divided a channel for the overflowing water, Or a path for the thunderbolt,
26 - To cause it to rain on a land where there is no one, A wilderness in which there is no man;
27 - To satisfy the desolate waste, And cause to spring forth the growth of tender grass?
28 - Has the rain a father? Or who has begotten the drops of dew?
29 - From whose womb comes the ice? And the frost of heaven, who gives it birth?
30 - The waters harden like stone, And the surface of the deep is frozen.
31 - "Can you bind the cluster of the Pleiades, Or loose the belt of Orion?
32 - Can you bring out Mazzaroth in its season? Or can you guide the Great Bear with its cubs?
33 - Do you know the ordinances of the heavens? Can you set their dominion over the earth?
34 - "Can you lift up your voice to the clouds, That an abundance of water may cover you?
35 - Can you send out lightnings, that they may go, And say to you, "Here we are!'?
36 - Who has put wisdom in the mind? Or who has given understanding to the heart?
37 - Who can number the clouds by wisdom? Or who can pour out the bottles of heaven,
38 - When the dust hardens in clumps, And the clods cling 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 lurk in their lairs to lie in wait?
41 - Who provides food for the raven, When its young ones cry to God, And wander about for lack of food?
