Job 38:22-38

22“Have you entered the treasury of snow, Or have you seen the treasury of hail,

23Which I have reserved for the time of trouble, For the day of battle and war?

24By what way is light diffused, Or the east wind scattered over the earth?

25“Who has divided a channel for the overflowing water, Or a path for the thunderbolt,

26To cause it to rain on a land where there is no one, A wilderness in which there is no man;

27To satisfy the desolate waste, And cause to spring forth the growth of tender grass?

28Has the rain a father? Or who has begotten the drops of dew?

29From whose womb comes the ice? And the frost of heaven, who gives it birth?

30The waters harden like stone, And the surface of the deep is frozen.

31“Can you bind the cluster of the Pleiades, Or loose the belt of Orion?

32Can you bring out Mazzaroth in its season? Or can you guide the Great Bear with its cubs?

33Do you know the ordinances of the heavens? Can you set their dominion over the earth?

34“Can you lift up your voice to the clouds, That an abundance of water may cover you?

35Can you send out lightnings, that they may go, And say to you, ‘Here we are!’?

36Who has put wisdom in the mind? Or who has given understanding to the heart?

37Who can number the clouds by wisdom? Or who can pour out the bottles of heaven,

38When the dust hardens in clumps, And the clods cling together?
