29 From whose womb came the ice, and who has given birth to the frost in the air? 30 The water hardens like a stone, and the surface of the ocean freezes over. 31 |Can you connect the chains of the [constellation] Pleiades or untie the ropes of Orion? 32 Can you bring out the constellations at the right time or guide Ursa Major with its cubs? 33 Do you know the laws of the sky or make them rule the earth? 34 Can you call to the clouds and have a flood of water cover you? 35 Can you send lightning flashes so that they may go and say to you, 'Here we are'? 36 Who put wisdom in the heart or gave understanding to the mind? 37 Who is wise enough to count the clouds or pour out the water jars of heaven 38 when the dirt hardens into clumps and the soil clings together? 39 |Can you hunt prey for the lioness and satisfy the hunger of her cubs 40 as they crouch in their dens and lie ready to ambush from their lairs? 41 |Who provides food for the crow when its young ones cry to God and wander around in need of food?
