22 Have you entered the treasuries of the snow,
    or have you 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 lightning distributed,
    or the east wind scattered on the earth?

25 Who has cut a channel for the flood water,
    or the path for the thunder storm,
26 to cause it to rain on a land where there is no man,
    on the wilderness, in which there is no man,
27 to satisfy the waste and desolate ground,
    to cause the tender grass to grow?
28 Does the rain have a father?
    Or who fathers the drops of dew?
29 Whose womb did the ice come out of?
    Who has given birth to the gray frost of the sky?
30 The waters become hard like stone,
    when the surface of the deep is frozen.
