We're meditating on these passages in today's episode: 

 

 Job 38:1-18 (NIV)

Then the Lord spoke to Job out of the storm. He said:

“Who is this that obscures my plans

    with words without knowledge?

Brace yourself like a man;

    I will question you,

    and you shall answer me.

“Where were you when I laid the earth’s foundation?

    Tell me, if you understand.

Who marked off its dimensions? Surely you know!

    Who stretched a measuring line across it?

On what were its footings set,

    or who laid its cornerstone—

while the morning stars sang together

    and all the angels shouted for joy?

“Who shut up the sea behind doors

    when it burst forth from the womb,

when I made the clouds its garment

    and wrapped it in thick darkness,

when I fixed limits for it

    and set its doors and bars in place,

when I said, ‘This far you may come and no farther;

    here is where your proud waves halt’?

“Have you ever given orders to the morning,

    or shown the dawn its place,

that it might take the earth by the edges

    and shake the wicked out of it?

The earth takes shape like clay under a seal;

    its features stand out like those of a garment.

The wicked are denied their light,

    and their upraised arm is broken.

“Have you journeyed to the springs of the sea

    or walked in the recesses of the deep?

Have the gates of death been shown to you?

    Have you seen the gates of the deepest darkness?

Have you comprehended the vast expanses of the earth?

    Tell me, if you know all this.

 

Job 40:3-5

Then Job answered the Lord:

“I am unworthy—how can I reply to you?

    I put my hand over my mouth.

I spoke once, but I have no answer—

    twice, but I will say no more.”

 

Job 42:1-6

Then Job replied to the Lord:

“I know that you can do all things;

    no purpose of yours can be thwarted.

You asked, ‘Who is this that obscures my plans without knowledge?’

    Surely I spoke of things I did not understand,

    things too wonderful for me to know.

“You said, ‘Listen now, and I will speak;

    I will question you,

    and you shall answer me.’

My ears had heard of you

    but now my eyes have seen you.

Therefore I despise myself

    and repent in dust and ashes.”
