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?

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.
