Job 38:22-38
22Have you entered the place where the snow is stored? Or have you seen the storehouses of hail,
23which I hold in reserve for times of trouble, for the day of warfare and battle?
24What road leads to the place where light is dispersed? Where is the source of the east wind that spreads across the earth?
25Who cuts a channel for the flooding rain or clears the way for lightning,
26to bring rain on an uninhabited land, on a desert with no human life,
27to satisfy the parched wasteland and cause the grass to sprout?
28Does the rain have a father? Who fathered the drops of dew?
29Whose womb did the ice come from? Who gave birth to the frost of heaven
30when water becomes as hard as stone, and the surface of the watery depths is frozen?
31Can you fasten the chains of the Pleiades or loosen the belt of Orion?
32Can you bring out the constellations in their season and lead the Bear and her cubs?
33Do you know the laws of heaven? Can you impose its authority on earth?
34Can you command the clouds so that a flood of water covers you?
35Can you send out lightning bolts, and they go? Do they report to you, “Here we are”?
36Who put wisdom in the heart or gave the mind understanding?
37Who has the wisdom to number the clouds? Or who can tilt the water jars of heaven
38when the dust hardens like cast metal and the clods of dirt stick together?
