Job 28:23-27

King James Version

²³God understandeth the way thereof, and he knoweth the place thereof.

²⁴For he looketh to the ends of the earth, and seeth under the whole heaven;

²⁵To make the weight for the winds; and he weigheth the waters by measure.

²⁶When he made a decree for the rain, and a way for the lightning of the thunder:

²⁷Then did he see it, and declare it; he prepared it, yea, and searched it out.

Job 28:23-27

New King James Version

²³God understands its way,
And He knows its place.
²⁴For He looks to the ends of the earth,
And ^(A)sees under the whole heavens,
²⁵^(B)To establish a weight for the wind,
And apportion the waters by measure.
²⁶When He ^(C)made a law for the rain,
And a path for the thunderbolt,
²⁷Then He saw ^[a]wisdom and declared it;
He prepared it, indeed, He searched it out.
