Job 38:38–40

when the dust runs into a mass

and the clods stick fast together?

“Can you hunt the prey for the lion,

or satisfy the appetite of the young lions,

when they crouch in their dens

or lie in wait in their thicket?

when the dust becomes hard

and the clods of earth stick together?

“Do you hunt the prey for the lioness

and satisfy the hunger of the lions

when they crouch in their dens

or lie in wait in a thicket?

when the dust hardens like cast metal

and the clods of dirt stick together?

Can you hunt prey for a lioness

or satisfy the appetite of young lions

when they crouch in their dens

and lie in wait within their lairs?

when the parched ground is dry

and the soil has hardened into clods?

“Can you stalk prey for a lioness

and satisfy the young lions’ appetites

as they lie in their dens

or crouch in the thicket?

at the flowing of the dust into a cast

and the clods cling together?

“Can you hunt prey for the lion?

And can you satisfy the hunger of strong lions

when they are crouched in the dens,

when they lie in the thicket in an ambush?

When the dust groweth into hardness,

And the clods cleave fast together?

Wilt thou hunt the prey for the lion?

Or fill the appetite of the young lions,

When they couch in their dens,

And abide in the covert to lie in wait?
