22 “Have you entered (A)the treasury of snow,
Or have you seen the treasury of hail,
23 (B)Which I have reserved for the time of trouble,
For the day of battle and war?
24 By what way is light [a]diffused,
Or the east wind scattered over the earth?

25 “Who (C)has divided a channel for the overflowing water,
Or a path for the thunderbolt,
26 To cause it to rain on a land where there is no one,
A wilderness in which there is no man;
27 (D)To satisfy the desolate waste,
And cause to spring forth the growth of tender grass?
28 (E)Has the rain a father?
Or who has begotten the drops of dew?
29 From whose womb comes the ice?
And the (F)frost of heaven, who gives it birth?
30 The waters harden like stone,
And the surface of the deep is (G)frozen.[b]

22 Hast thou entered into the treasures of the snow?
or hast thou seen the treasures 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 parted,
which scattereth the east wind upon the earth?
25 Who hath divided a watercourse for the overflowing of waters,
or a way for the lightning of thunder;
26 to cause it to rain on the earth, where no man is;
on the wilderness, wherein there is no man;
27 to satisfy the desolate and waste ground;
and to cause the bud of the tender herb to spring forth?
28 Hath the rain a father?
or who hath begotten the drops of dew?
29 Out of whose womb came the ice?
and the hoary frost of heaven, who hath gendered it?
30 The waters are hid as with a stone,
and the face of the deep is frozen.
