New Living Translation (NLT)
Job 38
22 “Have you visited the storehouses of the snow or seen the storehouses of hail?
23 (I have reserved them as weapons for the time of trouble, for the day of battle and war.)
24 Where is the path to the source of light? Where is the home of the east wind?
25 “Who created a channel for the torrents of rain? Who laid out the path for the lightning?
26 Who makes the rain fall on barren land, in a desert where no one lives?
27 Who sends rain to satisfy the parched ground and make the tender grass spring up?
28 “Does the rain have a father? Who gives birth to the dew?
29 Who is the mother of the ice? Who gives birth to the frost from the heavens?
30 For the water turns to ice as hard as rock, and the surface of the water freezes.
31 “Can you direct the movement of the stars— binding the cluster of the Pleiades or loosening the cords of Orion?
32 Can you direct the sequence of the seasons or guide the Bear with her cubs across the heavens?
We pray that this ministry will be a blessing to you and your family.
