25 Who cuts a channel for the torrents of rain,

and a path for the thunderstorm,

26 to water a land where no one lives,

an uninhabited desert,

27 to satisfy a desolate wasteland

and make it sprout with grass?

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?

25 “Who created a channel for the torrents of rain?

Who laid out the path for the lightning?

26 Who makes the rain fall on barren land,

in a desert where no one lives?

27 Who sends rain to satisfy the parched ground

and make the tender grass spring up?

25 “Who has divided a channel for the overflowing water,

Or a path for the thunderbolt,

26 To cause it to rain on a land where there is no one,

A wilderness in which there is no man;

27 To satisfy the desolate waste,

And cause to spring forth the growth of tender grass?

25 Who cuts a waterway for the heavy rains

and sets a path for the thunderstorm?

26 Who waters the land where no one lives,

the desert that has no one in it?

27 Who sends rain to satisfy the empty land

so the grass begins to grow?

25 Who hath cleft a channel for the waterflood,

Or the way for the lightning of the thunder;

26 To cause it to rain on a land where no man is;

On the wilderness, wherein there is no man;

27 To satisfy the waste and desolate ground,

And to cause the tender grass to spring forth?

25 Who hath divided a channel for the rain-flood, and a way for the thunder’s flash; 26 To cause it to rain on the earth, where no one is; on the wilderness wherein there is not a man; 27 To satisfy the desolate and waste ground, and to cause the sprout of the grass to spring forth?

25 “Who made a channel for the flooding rains 

and a path for the thunderstorms 

26 to bring rain on a land where no one lives, 

on a desert where there are no humans, 

27 to saturate the desolate wasteland 

in order to make it sprout with grass? 

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,

27 to satisfy the parched wasteland

and cause the grass to sprout?

25 “Who has cut a channel for the torrents of rain,

and a way for the thunderbolt,

26 to bring rain on a land where no one lives,

on the desert, which is empty of human life,

27 to satisfy the waste and desolate land,

and to make the ground put forth grass?

25 “Who has cut open a channel for the torrents

and a way for the thunder bolts,

26 to bring rain on a land where no one lives,

a desert where no humans live,

27 to satisfy desert and wasteland,

and to cause the ground to put forth the rising of grass?

25 Who tells the rain where it should fall?

Who makes paths for the thunderstorms?

26 They bring water to places where no one lives.

They water deserts that do not have anyone in them.

27 They satisfy the needs of dry and empty lands.

They make grass start growing there.

25 “Who has cleft a channel for the flood,

Or a way for the thunderbolt,

26 To bring rain on a land without people,

On a desert without a man in it,

27 To satisfy the waste and desolate land

And to make the seeds of grass to sprout?
