New Living Translation (NLT)
Job 38
5 Who determined its dimensions and stretched out the surveying line?
6 What supports its foundations, and who laid its cornerstone
7 as the morning stars sang together and all the angels shouted for joy?
8 “Who kept the sea inside its boundaries as it burst from the womb,
9 and as I clothed it with clouds and wrapped it in thick darkness?
10 For I locked it behind barred gates, limiting its shores.
11 I said, ‘This far and no farther will you come. Here your proud waves must stop!’
12 “Have you ever commanded the morning to appear and caused the dawn to rise in the east?
13 Have you made daylight spread to the ends of the earth, to bring an end to the night’s wickedness?
14 As the light approaches, the earth takes shape like clay pressed beneath a seal; it is robed in brilliant colors.
15 The light disturbs the wicked and stops the arm that is raised in violence.
We pray that this ministry will be a blessing to you and your family.
