Bible in Basic English
"Have you, from your earliest days, given orders to the morning, or made the dawn conscious of its place;"
— Job 38:12, Bible in Basic English
“"Have you commanded the morning in your days, and caused the dawn to know its place;”
When I made the cloud its robe, and put thick clouds as bands round it,
Ordering a fixed limit for it, with locks and doors;
And said, So far you may come, and no farther; and here the pride of your waves will be stopped?
Have you, from your earliest days, given orders to the morning, or made the dawn conscious of its place;
So that it might take a grip of the skirts of the earth, shaking all the evil-doers out of it?
It is changed like wet earth under a stamp, and is coloured like a robe;
And from the evil-doers their light is kept back, and the arm of pride is broken.
