Job 38-41 - The Bible in Rhyme (Remastered)

Then out of the storm, the Lord spoke instead. "Who darkens my counsel with what he has said? Where were you, Job, when I laid the foundation of Earth; all the water 'round every nation? Who marked its dimensions and who set the line as the angels rejoiced? Job, are you divine? Have you made the morning? Have you brought the dawn? Tell Me, have you ever set foot upon the depths of the deep? And do you know where the shadow of death is found? Take Me there. And show Me the path to the way of true light. Tell Me, great man, have you set your sight on the storehouses full of lightning or snow? Does rain have a father? Surely you know. Can you loose the cords of Orion's belt? You must know how the stars work. Tell me now. Do you know all the laws of the heavens and Earth? Are you with each babe at the time of its birth? Are you by the side of each cub till it's grown? Are you with each bird until it has flown? Do the ox and the ostrich bow down at your feet? Are you with each animal as they compete for survival? Who wins? Surely you say who eats and who starves. What happens today? Let the one who contends with the Lord stand and speak!" Job huddled in fear. His voice came out weak. "I'm unworthy, my Lord! I must place both my hands over my mouth. For I am but a man. I'm unable to answer." The Lord spoke again. "Why do you seek to discredit Me then? With the strength of an ox, still I can hide in the lotus' shadow. Come now, confide. Can you harness leviathan with just a hook? Make a pet out of him and let little girls look? One glance at the beast and you'll shake where you stand. How much greater am I? I'm the mighty I AM!"
