Job 38:33-41

33 Do you know the first thing about the sky's constellations and how they affect things on Earth?
34 "Can you get the attention of the clouds, and commission a shower of rain?
35 Can you take charge of the lightning bolts and have them report to you for orders? What Do You Have to Say for Yourself?
36 "Who do you think gave weather-wisdom to the ibis, and storm-savvy to the rooster?
37 Does anyone know enough to number all the clouds or tip over the rain barrels of heaven
38 When the earth is cracked and dry, the ground baked hard as a brick?
39 "Can you teach the lioness to stalk her prey and satisfy the appetite of her cubs
40 As they crouch in their den, waiting hungrily in their cave?
41 And who sets out food for the ravens when their young cry to God, fluttering about because they have no food?
