Job 38:22-30

International Standard Version

²² “Have you entered the storehouses of the snow
    or seen where the hail is stored,
²³ which I’ve reserved for the tribulation to come,
    for the day of battle and war?
²⁴ Where is the lightning diffused
    or the east wind scattered around the earth?

²⁵ “Who cuts canals for storm floods,
    and paths for the lightning and thunder,
²⁶ to bring rain upon a land without inhabitants,
    a desert in which no human beings live,
²⁷ to satisfy a desolate and devastated desert,
    causing it to sprout vegetation?

²⁸ “Does the rain have a father?
    Who fathered the dew?
²⁹ Whose womb brings forth the ice?
    Who gives birth to frost out of an empty^[a] sky,
³⁰ when water solidifies^[b] like stone
    and the surface of the deepest sea freezes?
