Job 38:1-41
Then Yahweh answered Job out of the whirlwind,“ Who is this who darkens counsel by words without knowledge?Brace yourself like a man, for I will question you, then you answer me!“ Where were you when I laid the foundations of the earth? Declare, if you have understanding.Who determined its measures, if you know? Or who stretched the line on it?What were its foundations fastened on? Or who laid its cornerstone,when the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy?“ Or who shut up the sea with doors, when it broke out of the womb,when I made clouds its garment, and wrapped it in thick darkness,marked out for it my bound, set bars and doors,and said,‘ You may come here, but no further. Your proud waves shall be stopped here?’“ Have you commanded the morning in your days, and caused the dawn to know its place,that it might take hold of the ends of the earth, and shake the wicked out of it?It is changed as clay under the seal, and presented as a garment.From the wicked, their light is withheld. The high arm is broken.“ Have you entered into the springs of the sea? Or have you walked in the recesses of the deep?Have the gates of death been revealed to you? Or have you seen the gates of the shadow of death?Have you comprehended the earth in its width? Declare, if you know it all.“ What is the way to the dwelling of light? As for darkness, where is its place,that you should take it to its bound, that you should discern the paths to its house?Surely you know, for you were born then, and the number of your days is great!Have you entered the treasuries of the snow, or have you seen the treasures of the hail,which I have reserved against the time of trouble, against the day of battle and war?By what way is the lightning distributed, or the east wind scattered on the earth?Who has cut a channel for the flood water, or the path for the thunder storm,to cause it to rain on a land where there is no man, on the wilderness, in which there is no man,to satisfy the waste and desolate ground, to cause the tender grass to grow?Does the rain have a father? Or who fathers the drops of dew?Whose womb did the ice come out of? Who has given birth to the gray frost of the sky?The waters become hard like stone, when the surface of the deep is frozen.“ Can you bind the cluster of the Pleiades, or loosen the cords of Orion?Can you lead the constellations out in their season? Or can you guide the Bear with her cubs?Do you know the laws of the heavens? Can you establish its dominion over the earth?“ Can you lift up your voice to the clouds, That abundance of waters may cover you?Can you send out lightnings, that they may go? Do they report to you,‘ Here we are?’Who has put wisdom in the inward parts? Or who has given understanding to the mind?Who can count the clouds by wisdom? Or who can pour out the containers of the sky,when the dust runs into a mass, and the clods of earth stick together?“ Can you hunt the prey for the lioness, or satisfy the appetite of the young lions,when they crouch in their dens, and lie in wait in the thicket?Who provides for the raven his prey, when his young ones cry to God, and wander for lack of food?

Job 41:1-34
“ Can you draw out Leviathan with a fish hook, or press down his tongue with a cord?Can you put a rope into his nose, or pierce his jaw through with a hook?Will he make many petitions to you, or will he speak soft words to you?Will he make a covenant with you, that you should take him for a servant forever?Will you play with him as with a bird? Or will you bind him for your girls?Will traders barter for him? Will they part him among the merchants?Can you fill his skin with barbed irons, or his head with fish spears?Lay your hand on him. Remember the battle, and do so no more.Behold, the hope of him is in vain. Won’t one be cast down even at the sight of him?None is so fierce that he dare stir him up. Who then is he who can stand before me?Who has first given to me, that I should repay him? Everything under the heavens is mine.“ I will not keep silence concerning his limbs, nor his mighty strength, nor his goodly frame.Who can strip off his outer garment? Who will come within his jaws?Who can open the doors of his face? Around his teeth is terror.Strong scales are his pride, shut up together with a close seal.One is so near to another, that no air can come between them.They are joined to one another. They stick together, so that they can’t be pulled apart.His sneezing flashes out light. His eyes are like the eyelids of the morning.Out of his mouth go burning torches. Sparks of fire leap out.Out of his nostrils a smoke goes, as of a boiling pot over a fire of reeds.His breath kindles coals. A flame goes out of his mouth.There is strength in his neck. Terror dances before him.The flakes of his flesh are joined together. They are firm on him. They can’t be moved.His heart is as firm as a stone, yes, firm as the lower millstone.When he raises himself up, the mighty are afraid. They retreat before his thrashing.If one attacks him with the sword, it can’t prevail; nor the spear, the dart, nor the pointed shaft.He counts iron as straw; and bronze as rotten wood.The arrow can’t make him flee. Sling stones are like chaff to him.Clubs are counted as stubble. He laughs at the rushing of the javelin.His undersides are like sharp potsherds, leaving a trail in the mud like a threshing sledge.He makes the deep to boil like a pot. He makes the sea like a pot of ointment.He makes a path shine after him. One would think the deep had white hair.On earth there is not his equal, that is made without fear.He sees everything that is high. He is king over all the sons of pride.”

Psalms 36:5-6
Your loving kindness, Yahweh, is in the heavens. Your faithfulness reaches to the skies.Your righteousness is like the mountains of God. Your judgments are like a great deep. Yahweh, you preserve man and animal.

Genesis 9:15-16
I will remember my covenant, which is between me and you and every living creature of all flesh, and the waters will no more become a flood to destroy all flesh.The rainbow will be in the cloud. I will look at it, that I may remember the everlasting covenant between God and every living creature of all flesh that is on the earth.”

Jonah 4:11
Shouldn’t I be concerned for Nineveh, that great city, in which are more than one hundred twenty thousand persons who can’t discern between their right hand and their left hand; and also much livestock?”
