Job 38:1-7 (Common English Bible)

Then the Lord answered Job from the whirlwind:

Who is this darkening counsel with words lacking knowledge?

Prepare yourself like a man; I will interrogate you, and you will respond to me.

Where were you when I laid the earth’s foundations?

Tell me if you know.

Who set its measurements? Surely you know.

Who stretched a measuring tape on it?

On what were its footings sunk; who laid its cornerstone, while the morning stars sang in unison and all the divine beings shouted?
