...a song.......
Dress for action like a man
Guird yourself for action
All you who claim to be wise
You scribe, You philosopher of this age
You who claim to see
Forever thwarting my glory
Dress for action like a man
You make it know to me
All you who demands signs
Who demand wisdom
In your folly
ANd i will show you
Where were you ?
Where were you ?
When i laid the foundation of the earth ,
on what were its bases sunk?
Or who shut in the sea with doors
when it burst out from the womb,
when I made clouds its garment
and thick darkness its swaddling band?
Have you comprehended the expanse of the earth?
Declare, if you know all this.
In all your boasting ,surely you know?
Have you entered the storehouses of the snow,
or have you seen the storehouses of the hail,
which I have reserved for the time of trouble,
for the day of battle and war?
Can you hunt the prey for the lion,
or satisfy the appetite of the young lions,
when they crouch in their dens
or lie in wait in their thicket?
Who provides for the raven its prey,
when its young ones cry to God for help,
Is the wild ox willing to serve you?
Will he spend the night at your manger?
and wander about for lack of food?
Do you give the horse his might?
Do you clothe his neck with a mane?
Do you make him leap like the locust?
His majestic snorting is terrifying.
Is it by your understanding that the hawk soars
and spreads his wings toward the south?
Is it at your command that the eagle mounts up
and makes his nest on high?
Come now , oh son of man , shall you answer Me
that i may be proven wrong?
Forever claiming to see, full of folly.
Shall you humble yourself unto Me?
