Canst thou by searching find out God? Canst thou find out the Almighty unto perfection?

It is high as heaven; what canst thou do? Deeper than Sheol; what canst thou know?

Or darkness, so that thou canst not see, And abundance of waters cover thee.

If thou canst, answer thou me; Set thy words in order before me, stand forth.

Canst thou with him spread out the sky, Which is strong as a molten mirror?

Canst thou bind the cluster of the Pleiades, Or loose the bands of Orion?

Canst thou lead forth the Mazzaroth in their season? Or canst thou guide the Bear with her train?

Knowest thou the ordinances of the heavens? Canst thou establish the dominion thereof in the earth?

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

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

Canst thou hunt the prey for the lioness, Or satisfy the appetite of the young lions,

Knowest thou the time when the wild goats of the rock bring forth? Or canst thou mark when the hinds do calve?

Canst thou number the months that they fulfil? Or knowest thou the time when they bring forth?

Canst thou bind the wild-ox with his band in the furrow? Or will he harrow the valleys after thee?

Or hast thou an arm like God? And canst thou thunder with a voice like him?

Canst thou draw out leviathan with a fishhook? Or press down his tongue with a cord?

Canst thou put a rope into his nose? Or pierce his jaw through with a hook?

Canst thou fill his skin with barbed irons, Or his head with fish-spears?

I know that thou canst do all things, And that no purpose of thine can be restrained.
