Job 38:22-30

Modern English Version

²² “Have you entered the treasuries of the snow?
    Or have you seen the treasuries of the hail,
²³ which I have reserved against the time of trouble,
    against the day of battle and war?
²⁴ By what way is the light diffused,
    or the east wind scattered upon the earth?
²⁵ Who has divided a channel for the overflowing waters,
    or a path for the thunderbolt,
²⁶ to cause it to rain on the earth where no man is,
    on the wilderness in which there are no people,
²⁷ to satisfy the desolate waste,
    and to cause the bud of the tender herb to spring forth?
²⁸ Does the rain have a father?
    Or who has produced the drops of dew?
²⁹ From whose womb came the ice?
    And the frost of heaven, who gives it birth?
³⁰ The waters harden like stone,
    and the surface of the deep is frozen.
