Job 38:32-41
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 38
32Can you bring out a constellation in its season, And guide the Bear with her satellites? 33Do you know the ordinances of the heavens, Or do you establish their rule over the earth? 34'Can you raise your voice to the clouds, So that an abundance of water will cover you? 35Can you send flashes of lightning, so that they may go And say to you, ‘Here we are’? 36Who has put wisdom in the innermost being, Or given understanding to the mind? 37Who can count the clouds by wisdom, And pour out the water jars of the heavens, 38When the dust hardens into a mass And the clods stick together? 39'Can you hunt the prey for the lioness, Or satisfy the appetite of young lions, 40When they crouch in their hiding places, And lie in wait in their lair? 41Who prepares feed for the raven When its young cry to God, And wander about without food?King James Version
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 38
32Can you bring out the constellations in their season and lead the Bear and her cubs? 33Do you know the laws of heaven? Can you impose its authority on earth? 34Can you command the clouds so that a flood of water covers you?
35Can you send out lightning bolts, and they go? Do they report to you: "Here we are"?
36Who put wisdom in the heart or gave the mind understanding?
37Who has the wisdom to number the clouds? Or who can tilt the water jars of heaven
38when the dust hardens like cast metal and the clods of dirt stick together?
39Can you hunt prey for a lioness or satisfy the appetite of young lions
40when they crouch in their dens and lie in wait within their lairs?
41Who provides the raven’s food when its young cry out to God and wander about for lack of food?

34'Can you shout to the clouds and make it rain?
35Can you make lightning appear and cause it to strike as you direct?
36Who gives intuition to the heart and instinct to the mind?

38when the parched ground is dry and the soil has hardened into clods?
