22 Have you entered the place where the snow is stored?
Or have you seen the storehouses of hail,(A)
23 which I hold in reserve for times of trouble,
for the day of warfare and battle?(B)
24 What road leads to the place where light is dispersed?[a]
Where is the source of the east wind that spreads across the earth?

25 Who cuts a channel for the flooding rain
or clears the way for lightning,
26 to bring rain on an uninhabited land,
on a desert with no human life,[b]
27 to satisfy the parched wasteland
and cause the grass to sprout?(C)
28 Does the rain have a father?
Who fathered the drops of dew?(D)
29 Whose womb did the ice come from?
Who gave birth to the frost of heaven
30 when water becomes as hard as stone,[c]
and the surface of the watery depths is frozen?(E)
