Job 38:22-30

New American Standard Bible

²² Have you entered the storehouses ^(A)of the snow,
And have you seen the storehouses of the ^(B)hail,
²³ Which I have reserved for a time of distress,
For a day of war and battle?
²⁴ Where is the way that ^(C)the light is divided,
And the east wind scattered on the earth?

²⁵ “Who has split open a channel for the flood,
And a way for the thunderbolt,
²⁶ To bring ^(D)rain on a land without ^[a]people,
On a desert without a person in it,
²⁷ To ^(E)satisfy the waste and desolate land,
And to make the ^[b]seeds of grass to sprout?
²⁸ Does ^(F)the rain have a father?
Or who has fathered the drops of dew?
²⁹ From whose womb has come the ^(G)ice?
And the frost of heaven, who has given it birth?
³⁰ Water ^[c]becomes hard like stone,
And the surface of the deep is imprisoned.
