Job 38:28-39 Modern English Version (MEV)

28. Does the rain have a father?Or who has produced the drops of dew?

29. From whose womb came the ice?And the frost of heaven, who gives it birth?

30. The waters harden like stone,and the surface of the deep is frozen.

31. “Can you tie the cords to the Pleiadesor loosen the belt of Orion?

32. Can you bring out the constellation in its season?Or can you guide the Bear with its cubs?

34. “Can you lift up your voice to the clouds,that abundance of waters may cover you?

35. Can you send lightning that they may go forthand say to you, ‘Here we are’?

36. Who has put wisdom in the inward parts,or who has given understanding to the heart?

37. Who can number the clouds by wisdom?Or who can empty out the bottles of heaven,

38. when the dust turns into hard clumpsand the clods stick together?

39. “Will you hunt the prey for the lion?Or fill the appetite of the young lions,
