Storehouses of the snow




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

23which I have reserved for the time of trouble,
   for the day of battle and war?

24What is the way to the place where the light is distributed,
   or where the east wind is scattered upon the earth?

 25"Who has cleft a channel for the torrents of rain
   and a way for the thunderbolt,

26to bring rain on a land where no man is,
   on
 the desert in which there is no man,
27to satisfy the waste and desolate land,
   and to make the ground sprout with grass?

 28"Has the rain a father,
   or who has begotten the drops of dew?

29From whose womb did the ice come forth,
   and who has given birth to the frost of heaven?

30The waters become hard like stone,
   and the face of the deep is frozen.



Job 38:22-30
