Explore this passage in the graph16“Have you entered into the springs of the sea,
or walked in the recesses of the deep? 17Have the gates of death been revealed to you,
or have you seen the gates of deep darkness? 18Have you comprehended the expanse of the earth?
Declare, if you know all this. 19“Where is the way to the dwelling of light,
and where is the place of darkness, 20that you may take it to its territory
and that you may discern the paths to its home? 21You know, for you were born then,
and the number of your days is great! 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. 31“Can you bind the chains of the Pleiades
or loose the cords of Orion? 32Can you lead forth the Mazzaroth in their season,
or can you guide the Bear with its children? 33Do you know the ordinances of the heavens?
Can you establish their rule on the earth? 34“Can you lift up your voice to the clouds,
that a flood of waters may cover you? 35Can you send forth lightnings, that they may go
and say to you, ‘Here we are’? 36Who has put wisdom in the inward parts
or given understanding to the mind? 37Who can number the clouds by wisdom?
Or who can tilt the waterskins of the heavens, 38when the dust runs into a mass
and the clods stick fast together? 39“Can you hunt the prey for the lion,
or satisfy the appetite of the young lions, 40when they crouch in their dens
or lie in wait in their thicket? 41Who provides for the raven its prey,
when its young ones cry to God for help,
and wander about for lack of food? Read this passage at the publisher: Read in NIV · Read in ESV
