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. |
31 Canst thou bind the sweet influences of Pleiades, or loose the bands of Orion? |
32 Canst thou bring forth Mazzaroth in his season? or canst thou guide Arcturus with his sons? |
33 Knowest thou the ordinances of heaven? canst thou set the dominion thereof in the earth? |
34 Canst thou lift up thy voice to the clouds, that abundance of waters may cover thee? |
35 Canst thou send lightnings, that they may go, and say unto thee, Here we are? |
36 Who hath put wisdom in the inward parts? or who hath given understanding to the heart? |
37 Who can number the clouds in wisdom? or who can stay the bottles of heaven, |
38 When the dust groweth into hardness, and the clods cleave fast together? |
39 Wilt thou hunt the prey for the lion? or fill the appetite of the young lions, |
40 When they couch in their dens, and abide in the covert to lie in wait? |
41 Who provideth for the raven his food? when his young ones cry unto God, they wander for lack of meat. |
