Job 38:22-30
New American Standard Bible
22 Have you entered the storehouses (A)of the snow,
And have you seen the storehouses of the (B)hail,
23 Which I have reserved for a time of distress,
For a day of war and battle?
24 Where is the way that (C)the light is divided,
And the east wind scattered on the earth?
25 “Who has split open a channel for the flood,
And a way for the thunderbolt,
26 To bring (D)rain on a land without [a]people,
On a desert without a person in it,
27 To (E)satisfy the waste and desolate land,
And to make the [b]seeds of grass to sprout?
28 Does (F)the rain have a father?
Or who has fathered 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 [c]becomes hard like stone,
And the surface of the deep is imprisoned.
Job 38:22-30

22 “Have you entered the storehouses of the snow,
or have you seen the storehouses of the hail,(A)
23 which I have reserved for the time of trouble,
for the day of battle and war?(B)
24 What is the way to the place where the light is distributed
or where the east wind is scattered upon the earth?(C)
25 “Who has cut a channel for the torrents of rain
and a way for the thunderbolt,(D)
26 to bring rain on a land where no one lives,
on the desert, which is empty of human life,(E)
27 to satisfy the waste and desolate land,
and to make the ground put forth grass?(F)
28 “Has the rain a father,
or who has fathered the drops of dew?(G)
29 From whose womb did the ice come forth,
and who has given birth to the hoarfrost of heaven?(H)
30 The waters become hard like stone,
and the face of the deep is frozen.
