AND God blessed Noah and his sons, and said unto them, Be fruitful, and multiply, and replenish the earth.
And the fear of you and the dread of you shall be upon every beast of the earth, and upon every fowl of the air, upon all that moveth upon the earth, and upon all the fishes of the sea; into your hand are they delivered.
Every moving thing that liveth shall be meat for you; even as the green herb have I given you all things.
But flesh with the life thereof, which is the blood thereof, shall ye not eat.
And surely your blood of your lives will I require; at the hand of every beast will I require it, and at the hand of man; at the hand of every man’s brother will I require the life of man.
Whoso sheddeth man’s blood, by man shall his blood be shed: for in the image of God made he man.
And you, be ye fruitful, and multiply; bring forth abundantly in the earth, and multiply therein.
¶ And God spake unto Noah, and to his sons with him, saying,
And I, behold, I establish my covenant with you, and with your seed after you;
And with every living creature that is with you, of the fowl, of the cattle, and of every beast of the earth with you; from all that go out of the ark, to every beast of the earth.

    1THEN the Lord answered Job out of the whirlwind, and said,

    2Who is this that darkeneth counsel by words without knowledge?

    3Gird up now thy loins like a man; for I will demand of thee, and answer thou me.

    4Where wast thou when I laid the foundations of the earth? declare, if thou hast understanding.

    5Who hath laid the measures thereof, if thou knowest? or who hath stretched the line upon it?

    6Whereupon are the foundations thereof fastened? or who laid the corner stone thereof;

    7When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy?

    8Or who shut up the sea with doors, when it brake forth, as if it had issued out of the womb?

    9When I made the cloud the garment thereof, and thick darkness a swaddlingband for it,

    10And brake up for it my decreed place, and set bars and doors,

    11And said, Hitherto shalt thou come, but no further: and here shall thy proud waves be stayed?

    12Hast thou commanded the morning since thy days; and caused the dayspring to know his place;

    13That it might take hold of the ends of the earth, that the wicked might be shaken out of it?

    14It is turned as clay to the seal; and they stand as a garment.

    15And from the wicked their light is withholden, and the high arm shall be broken.

    16Hast thou entered into the springs of the sea? or hast thou walked in the search of the depth?

    17Have the gates of death been opened unto thee? or hast thou seen the doors of the shadow of death?

    18Hast thou perceived the breadth of the earth? declare if thou knowest it all.

    19Where is the way where light dwelleth? and as for darkness, where is the place thereof,

    20That thou shouldest take it to the bound thereof, and that thou shouldest know the paths to the house thereof?

    21Knowest thou it, because thou wast then born? or because the number of thy days is great?

    22Hast thou entered into the treasures of the snow? or hast thou seen the treasures of the hail,

    23Which I have reserved against the time of trouble, against the day of battle and war?

    24By what way is the light parted, which scattereth the east wind upon the earth?

    25Who hath divided a watercourse for the overflowing of waters, or a way for the lightning of thunder;

    26To cause it to rain on the earth, where no man is; on the wilderness, wherein there is no man;

    27To satisfy the desolate and waste ground; and to cause the bud of the tender herb to spring forth?

    28Hath the rain a father? or who hath begotten the drops of dew?

    29Out of whose womb came the ice? and the hoary frost of heaven, who hath gendered it?

    30The waters are hid as with a stone, and the face of the deep is frozen.

    31Canst thou bind the sweet influences of Pleiades, or loose the bands of Orion?

    32Canst thou bring forth Mazzaroth in his season? or canst thou guide Arcturus with his sons?

    33Knowest thou the ordinances of heaven? canst thou set the dominion thereof in the earth?

    34Canst thou lift up thy voice to the clouds, that abundance of waters may cover thee?

    35Canst thou send lightnings, that they may go, and say unto thee, Here we are?

    36Who hath put wisdom in the inward parts? or who hath given understanding to the heart?

    37Who can number the clouds in wisdom? or who can stay the bottles of heaven,

    38When the dust groweth into hardness, and the clods cleave fast together?

    39Wilt thou hunt the prey for the lion? or fill the appetite of the young lions,

    40When they couch in their dens, and abide in the covert to lie in wait?

    41Who provideth for the raven his food? when his young ones cry unto God, they wander for lack of meat.

  5. Job 41:1–34Rank 5 from verse 10
    Open

    1CANST thou draw out leviathan with an hook? or his tongue with a cord which thou lettest down?

    2Canst thou put an hook into his nose? or bore his jaw through with a thorn?

    3Will he make many supplications unto thee? will he speak soft words unto thee?

    4Will he make a covenant with thee? wilt thou take him for a servant for ever?

    5Wilt thou play with him as with a bird? or wilt thou bind him for thy maidens?

    6Shall the companions make a banquet of him? shall they part him among the merchants?

    7Canst thou fill his skin with barbed irons? or his head with fish spears?

    8Lay thine hand upon him, remember the battle, do no more.

    9Behold, the hope of him is in vain: shall not one be cast down even at the sight of him?

    10None is so fierce that dare stir him up: who then is able to stand before me?

    11Who hath prevented me, that I should repay him? whatsoever is under the whole heaven is mine.

    12I will not conceal his parts, nor his power, nor his comely proportion.

    13Who can discover the face of his garment? or who can come to him with his double bridle?

    14Who can open the doors of his face? his teeth are terrible round about.

    15His scales are his pride, shut up together as with a close seal.

    16One is so near to another, that no air can come between them.

    17They are joined one to another, they stick together, that they cannot be sundered.

    18By his neesings a light doth shine, and his eyes are like the eyelids of the morning.

    19Out of his mouth go burning lamps, and sparks of fire leap out.

    20Out of his nostrils goeth smoke, as out of a seething pot or caldron.

    21His breath kindleth coals, and a flame goeth out of his mouth.

    22In his neck remaineth strength, and sorrow is turned into joy before him.

    23The flakes of his flesh are joined together: they are firm in themselves; they cannot be moved.

    24His heart is as firm as a stone; yea, as hard as a piece of the nether millstone.

    25When he raiseth up himself, the mighty are afraid: by reason of breakings they purify themselves.

    26The sword of him that layeth at him cannot hold: the spear, the dart, nor the habergeon.

    27He esteemeth iron as straw, and brass as rotten wood.

    28The arrow cannot make him flee: slingstones are turned with him into stubble.

    29Darts are counted as stubble: he laugheth at the shaking of a spear.

    30Sharp stones are under him: he spreadeth sharp pointed things upon the mire.

    31He maketh the deep to boil like a pot: he maketh the sea like a pot of ointment.

    32He maketh a path to shine after him; one would think the deep to be hoary.

    33Upon earth there is not his like, who is made without fear.

    34He beholdeth all high things: he is a king over all the children of pride.
