on a desert where there are no humans,

What is the way to the place where the light is distributed,

or where the east wind is scattered upon the earth?

and a way for the thunderbolt,

to bring rain on a land where no man is,

on the desert in which there is no man,

NIVNew International Version (2011)

What is the way to the place where the lightning is dispersed,

or the place where the east winds are scattered over the earth?

Who cuts a channel for the torrents of rain,

and a path for the thunderstorm,

to water a land where no one lives,

an uninhabited desert,

CSBChristian Standard Bible

What road leads to the place where light is dispersed?

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

Who cuts a channel for the flooding rain

or clears the way for lightning,

to bring rain on an uninhabited land,

on a desert with no human life,

NLTNew Living Translation

Where is the path to the source of light?

Where is the home of the east wind?

“Who created a channel for the torrents of rain?

Who laid out the path for the lightning?

Who makes the rain fall on barren land,

in a desert where no one lives?

LEBThe Lexham English Bible

Where then is the way where the light is distributed,

where he scatters the east wind upon the earth?

“Who has cut open a channel for the torrents

and a way for the thunder bolts,

to bring rain on a land where no one lives,

a desert where no humans live,

KJV 1900King James Version

By what way is the light parted,

Which scattereth the east wind upon the earth?

Who hath divided a watercourse for the overflowing of waters,

Or a way for the lightning of thunder;

To cause it to rain on the earth, where no man is;

On the wilderness, wherein there is no man;
