Job 38:4-7
““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? To what were its foundations fastened? Or who laid its cornerstone, when the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy?””
In the book of Job, after Job and his friends have debated the reasons for his suffering, God speaks from a whirlwind. This passage is part of God's majestic discourse, challenging Job's understanding of the cosmos and his place within it, highlighting God's incomparable wisdom and power as the creator.
