Job 38:29-41 ▼

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?

41 Who provides the raven’s food when its young cry out to God and wander about for lack of food?
