Job 38:22-30
English Standard Version
22 “Have you entered (A)the storehouses of the snow,
or have you seen (B)the storehouses of the hail,
23 which I have reserved (C)for the time of trouble,
(D)for the day of battle and war?
24 What is the way to the place where the light is distributed,
or where the east wind is scattered upon the earth?
25 “Who has cleft a channel for the torrents of rain
and (E)a way for the thunderbolt,
26 to bring rain on (F)a land where no man is,
on (G)the desert in which there is no man,
27 to satisfy the waste and desolate land,
and to make the ground sprout with (H)grass?
28 “Has (I)the rain a father,
or who has begotten the drops of dew?
29 From whose womb did (J)the ice come forth,
and who has given birth to (K)the frost of heaven?
30 The waters become hard like stone,
and the face of the deep is (L)frozen.
Job 38:22-30
Holman Christian Standard Bible
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)
