Job 38:22–30

22 Have you entered the place where the snow is stored?

Or have you seen the storehouses of hail,e

23 which I hold in reserve for times of trouble,

for the day of warfare and battle?f

24 What road leads to the place where light is dispersed?B

Where is the source of the east wind that spreads across the earth?

25 Who cuts a channel for the flooding rain

or clears the way for lightning,

26 to bring rain on an uninhabited land,

on a desert with no human life,C

27 to satisfy the parched wasteland

and cause the grass to sprout?g

28 Does the rain have a father?

Who fathered the drops of dew?h

29 Whose womb did the ice come from?

Who gave birth to the frost of heaven

30 when water becomes as hard as stone,D

and the surface of the watery depths is frozen?i
