Job 38:22-38

22Have you entered the storehouses 1of the snow, Or have you seen the storehouses of the 2hail,23Which I have reserved for the time of distress, For the day of war and battle?24Where is the way that 3the light is divided, Or the east wind scattered on the earth?

25“Who has cleft a channel for the flood, Or a way for the thunderbolt,26To bring 4rain on a land without 5people, On a desert without a man in it,27To 6satisfy the waste and desolate land And to make the 7seeds of grass to sprout?28Has 8the rain a father? Or who has begotten the drops of dew?29From whose womb has come the 9ice? And the frost of heaven, who has given it birth?30Water 10becomes hard like stone, And the surface of the deep is imprisoned.

31“Can you bind the chains of the 11Pleiades, Or loose the cords of Orion?32Can you lead forth a 12constellation in its season, And guide the Bear with her 13satellites?33Do you know the 14ordinances of the heavens, Or fix their rule over the earth?

34“Can you lift up your voice to the clouds, So that an 15abundance of water will cover you?35Can you 16send forth lightnings that they may go And say to you, ‘Here we are’?36Who has 17put wisdom in the innermost being Or given 18understanding to the 19mind?37Who can count the clouds by wisdom, Or 20tip the water jars of the heavens,38When the dust hardens into a mass And the clods stick together?
