Job 38:22-30

International Children’s Bible

²² “Have you ever gone into the storehouse where snow is kept?
    Or have you seen the storehouses for hail?
²³ I save the snow and hail for times of trouble.
    I save them for days of war and battle.
²⁴ How do you get to the place where light comes from?
    Or where is the place from which the east winds are scattered over the earth?
²⁵ Who cuts a waterway for the heavy rains?
    And who sets a path for the thunderstorm to follow?
²⁶ Who waters the land where no one lives?
    Who waters the desert that has no one in it?
²⁷ Who sends rain to satisfy the empty land
    so the grass begins to grow?
²⁸ Does the rain have a father?
    Who is father to the drops of dew?
²⁹ Who is the mother of the ice?
    Who gives birth to the frost from the sky?
³⁰ The waters become hard as stone.
    Even the surface of the deep ocean is frozen.
