Job 38:22-30
Legacy Standard Bible
22 Have you entered the storehouses (A)of the snow,
Or have you seen the storehouses of the (B)hail,
23 Which I have reserved for the time of distress,
For the day of war and battle?
24 Where is the way that (C)the light is divided,
Or the east wind scattered on the earth?
25 “Who has cleft a conduit for the flood,
Or a way for the thunderbolt,
26 To bring (D)rain on a land without [a]people,
On a desert without a man in it,
27 To (E)satisfy the waste and desolate land
And to make the growth of grass to sprout?
28 Has (F)the rain a father?
Or who has begotten the drops of dew?
29 From whose womb has come the (G)ice?
And the frost of heaven, who has given it birth?
30 Water [b]becomes hard like stone,
And the surface of the deep [c]is interlocked.
Job 38:22-30
Common English Bible
22 Have you gone to snow’s storehouses,
seen the storehouses of hail
23 that I have reserved for a time of distress,
for a day of battle and war?
24 What is the way to the place where light is divided up;
the east wind scattered over earth?
Meteorological facts
25 Who cut a channel for the downpours
and a way for blasts of thunder
26 to bring water to uninhabited land,
a desert with no human
27 to saturate dry wasteland
and make grass sprout?
28 Has the rain a father
who brought forth drops of dew?
29 From whose belly does ice come;
who gave birth to heaven’s frost?
30 Water hardens like stone;
the surface of the deep thickens.
