Job 38:22-40
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 38
22
Have you entered the storehouses of the snow,
And have you seen the storehouses of the hail,
23
Which I have reserved for a time of distress,
For a day of war and battle?
24
Where is the way that the light is divided,
And
the east wind scattered on the earth?
25
'Who has split
open
a channel for the flood,
And a way for the thunderbolt,
26
To bring rain on a land without people,
On
a desert without a person in it,
27
To satisfy the waste and desolate land,
And to make the seeds of grass to sprout?
28
Does the rain have a father?
Or who has fathered the drops of dew?
29
From whose womb has come the ice?
And the frost of heaven, who has given it birth?
30
Water becomes hard like stone,
And the surface of the deep is imprisoned.
31
'Can you tie up the chains of the Pleiades,
Or untie the cords of Orion?
32
Can you bring out a constellation in its season,
And guide the Bear with her satellites?
33
Do you know the ordinances of the heavens,
Or do you establish their rule over the earth?
34
'Can you raise your voice to the clouds,
So that an abundance of water will cover you?
35
Can you send flashes of lightning, so that they may go
And say to you, ‘Here we are’?
36
Who has put wisdom in the innermost being,
Or given understanding to the mind?
37
Who can count the clouds by wisdom,
And pour out the water jars of the heavens,
38
When the dust hardens into a mass
And the clods stick together?
39
'Can you hunt the prey for the lioness,
Or satisfy the appetite of young lions,
40
When they crouch in
their
hiding places,
And
lie in wait in
their
lair?
King James Version
Chapter 38
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?
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 38
22
Have you entered the place where the snow is stored?
Or have you seen the storehouses of hail,
23
which I hold in reserve for times of trouble,
for the day of warfare and battle?
24
What road leads to the place where light is dispersed?
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,
27
to satisfy the parched wasteland
and cause the grass to sprout?
28
Does the rain have a father?
Who fathered the drops of dew?
29
Whose womb did the ice come from?
Who gave birth to the frost of heaven
30
when water becomes as hard as stone,
and the surface of the watery depths is frozen?
31
Can you fasten the chains of the Pleiades
or loosen the belt of Orion?
32
Can you bring out the constellations in their season
and lead the Bear and her cubs?
33
Do you know the laws of heaven?
Can you impose its authority on earth?
34
Can you command the clouds
so that a flood of water covers you?
35
Can you send out lightning bolts, and they go?
Do they report to you: "Here we are"?
36
Who put wisdom in the heart
or gave the mind understanding?
37
Who has the wisdom to number the clouds?
Or who can tilt the water jars of heaven
38
when the dust hardens like cast metal
and the clods of dirt stick together?
39
Can you hunt prey for a lioness
or satisfy the appetite of young lions
40
when they crouch in their dens
and lie in wait within their lairs?
New Living Translation
Chapter 38
22
'Have you visited the storehouses of the snow
or seen the storehouses of hail?
23
(I have reserved them as weapons for the time of trouble,
for the day of battle and war.)
24
Where is the path to the source of light?
Where is the home of the east wind?
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?
28
'Does the rain have a father?
Who gives birth to the dew?
29
Who is the mother of the ice?
Who gives birth to the frost from the heavens?
30
For the water turns to ice as hard as rock,
and the surface of the water freezes.
31
'Can you direct the movement of the stars —
binding the cluster of the Pleiades
or loosening the cords of Orion?
32
Can you direct the constellations through the seasons
or guide the Bear with her cubs across the heavens?
33
Do you know the laws of the universe?
Can you use them to regulate the earth?
34
'Can you shout to the clouds
and make it rain?
35
Can you make lightning appear
and cause it to strike as you direct?
36
Who gives intuition to the heart
and instinct to the mind?
37
Who is wise enough to count all the clouds?
Who can tilt the water jars of heaven
38
when the parched ground is dry
and the soil has hardened into clods?
39
'Can you stalk prey for a lioness
and satisfy the young lions’ appetites
40
as they lie in their dens
or crouch in the thicket?

Chapter 38
22
“Have you entered the treasury of snow,
Or have you seen the treasury of hail,
23
Which I have reserved for the time of trouble,
For the day of battle and war?
24
By what way is light diffused,
Or
the east wind scattered over the earth?
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?
28
Has the rain a father?
Or who has begotten the drops of dew?
29
From whose womb comes the ice?
And the frost of heaven, who gives it birth?
30
The waters harden like stone,
And the surface of the deep is frozen.
31
“Can you bind the cluster of the Pleiades,
Or loose the belt of Orion?
32
Can you bring out Mazzaroth in its season?
Or can you guide the Great Bear with its cubs?

And the clods cling together?

“Can you hunt the prey for the lion,
Or satisfy the appetite of the young lions,
40
When they crouch in
their
dens,
Or
lurk in their lairs to lie in wait?
