²²Hast thou entered into the treasures of the snow? or hast thou seen the treasures of the hail,
²³Which I have reserved against the time of trouble, against the day of battle and war?
²⁴By what way is the light parted, which scattereth the east wind upon the earth?
²⁵Who hath divided a watercourse for the overflowing of waters, or a way for the lightning of thunder;
²⁶To cause it to rain on the earth, where no man is; on the wilderness, wherein there is no man;
²⁷To satisfy the desolate and waste ground; and to cause the bud of the tender herb to spring forth?
²⁸Hath the rain a father? or who hath begotten the drops of dew?
²⁹Out of whose womb came the ice? and the hoary frost of heaven, who hath gendered it?
³⁰The waters are hid as with a stone, and the face of the deep is frozen.
³¹Canst thou bind the sweet influences of Pleiades, or loose the bands of Orion?
³²Canst thou bring forth Mazzaroth in his season? or canst thou guide Arcturus with his sons?
³³Knowest thou the ordinances of heaven? canst thou set the dominion thereof in the earth?
³⁴Canst thou lift up thy voice to the clouds, that abundance of waters may cover thee?
³⁵Canst thou send lightnings, that they may go and say unto thee, Here we are?
³⁶Who hath put wisdom in the inward parts? or who hath given understanding to the heart?
³⁷Who can number the clouds in wisdom? or who can stay the bottles of heaven,
³⁸When the dust groweth into hardness, and the clods cleave fast together?
³⁹Wilt thou hunt the prey for the lion? or fill the appetite of the young lions,
⁴⁰When they couch in their dens, and abide in the covert to lie in wait?
⁴¹Who provideth for the raven his food? when his young ones cry unto God, they wander for lack of meat.
