Job 38:22-38

22Hast thou entered the treasuriesH214 of the snowH7950,Or hast thou seenH7200 the treasuresH214 of the hailH1259,23Which I have reserved against the timeH6256 of trouble,Against the dayH3117 of battleH4421 and warH4421?24By what wayH1870 is the lightH216 parted,Or the eastH6921 windH6921 scatteredH6327 upon the earthH776?25Who hath cleft a channel for the waterflood,Or the wayH1870 for the lightning of the thunderH6963;26To cause it to rainH4305 on a landH776 where no manH376 is;On the wildernessH4057, wherein there is no manH376;27To satisfyH7646 the waste and desolate ground,And to cause the tender grassH1877 to springH6779 forth?28Hath the rainH4306 a fatherH1?Or who hath begotten the drops of dewH2919?29Out of whose wombH990 cameH3318 the iceH7140?And the hoary frostH7140 of heavenH8064, who hath gendered it?30The watersH4325 hideH2244 themselvesand becomelike stoneH68,And the faceH6440 of the deepH8415 is frozen.31Canst thou bindH7194 the cluster of the PleiadesH3598,Or loose the bands of OrionH3685?32Canst thou leadH5148 forthH3318 the Mazzaroth in their season?Or canst thou guideH5148 the BearH5906 with her train?33Knowest thou the ordinances of the heavensH8064?Canst thou establish the dominion thereof in the earthH776?34Canst thou liftH7311 up thy voiceH6963 to the cloudsH5645,That abundanceH8229 of watersH4325 may coverH3680 thee?35Canst thou sendH7971 forthH7971 lightningsH1300, that they may goH7971,And sayH559 unto thee, HereH2005 we are?36Who hath putH5414 wisdomH2451 in the inward parts?Or who hath givenH5414 understandingH998 to the mind?37Who can number the cloudsH7834 by wisdomH2451?Or who can pour out the bottles of heavenH8064,38When the dustH6083 runneth into a mass,And the clodsH7263 cleave fast togetherH1692?
