Job 38:19-38

Holman Christian Standard Bible CSB

19 Where is the road to the home of light? [Do you know] where darkness lives,

20 so you can lead it back to its border? Are you familiar with the paths to its home?

21 Don't you know? You were already born; you have lived so long!

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?

New International Version NIV

19 “What is the way to the abode of light? And where does darkness reside?

20 Can you take them to their places? Do you know the paths to their dwellings?

21 Surely you know, for you were already born! You have lived so many years!

22 “Have you entered the storehouses of the snow or seen the storehouses of the hail,

23 which I reserve for times of trouble, for days of war and battle?

24 What is the way to the place where the lightning is dispersed, or the place where the east winds are scattered over the earth?

25 Who cuts a channel for the torrents of rain, and a path for the thunderstorm,

26 to water a land where no one lives, an uninhabited desert,

27 to satisfy a desolate wasteland and make it sprout with grass?

28 Does the rain have a father? Who fathers the drops of dew?

29 From whose womb comes the ice? Who gives birth to the frost from the heavens

30 when the waters become hard as stone, when the surface of the deep is frozen?

31 “Can you bind the chains of the Pleiades? Can you loosen Orion’s belt?

32 Can you bring forth the constellations in their seasonsor lead out the Bear with its cubs?

33 Do you know the laws of the heavens? Can you set up God’s dominion over the earth?

34 “Can you raise your voice to the clouds and cover yourself with a flood of water?

35 Do you send the lightning bolts on their way? Do they report to you, ‘Here we are’?

36 Who gives the ibis wisdomor gives the rooster understanding?

37 Who has the wisdom to count the clouds? Who can tip over the water jars of the heavens

38 when the dust becomes hard and the clods of earth stick together?
