June 23rd : First reading
From the heart of the tempest the Lord gives Job his answer.
A Reading from the Book of Job 38: 1,8-11.
From the heart of the tempest the Lord gave Job his answer. He said:
Who pent up the sea behind closed doors
when it leapt tumultuous out of the womb,
when I wrapped it in a robe of mist
and made black clouds its swaddling bands;
when I marked the bounds it was not to cross
and made it fast with a bolted gate?
Come thus far, I said, and no farther:
here your proud waves shall break.
The Word of the Lord.
