September 24 - Job 38.22-41

Sponsored by DailyBible Email

22Have you been to the places where I keep snow and hail,
23until I use them to punish and conquer nations?
24From where does lightning leap, or the east wind blow?
25Who carves out a path for thunderstorms?
Who sends torrents of rain 26on empty deserts
where no one lives?
27Rain that changes barren land
to meadows green with grass.
28Who is the father of the dew and of the rain?
29Who gives birth to the sleet and the frost
30that fall in winter,
when streams and lakes freeze solid as a rock?

Can You Arrange Stars?

31Can you arrange stars in groups
such as Orion and the Pleiades?
32Do you control the stars or set in place the Big Dipper
and the Little Dipper?
33Do you know the laws that govern the heavens,
and can you make them rule the earth?
34Can you order the clouds to send a downpour,
35or will lightning flash at your command?
36Did you teach birds to know that rain or floods
are on their way?
37Can you count the clouds or pour out their water
38on the dry, lumpy soil?

39When lions are hungry, do you help them hunt?
40Do you send an animal into their den?
41And when starving young ravens cry out to me for food,
do you satisfy their hunger?
