Top Verses Profile for Job 38:39  

27 To satisfy a desolate wasteland and make it sprout with grass? 28 Does the rain have a father? Who fathers the drops of dew? 29 From whose womb comes the ice? Who gives birth to the frost from the heavens 30 When the waters become hard as stone, when the surface of the deep is frozen? 31 "Can you bind the chains of the Pleiades? Can you loosen Orion's belt?" 32 Can you bring forth the constellations in their seasons or lead out the Bear with its cubs? 33 Do you know the laws of the heavens? Can you set up God's dominion over the earth? 34 "Can you raise your voice to the clouds and cover yourself with a flood of water?" 35 Do you send the lightning bolts on their way? Do they report to you, 'Here we are'? 36 Who gives the ibis wisdom about the flooding of the Nile, or gives the rooster understanding of when to crow? 37 Who has the wisdom to count the clouds? Who can tip over the water jars of the heavens 38 When the dust becomes hard and the clods of earth stick together? 39 "Do you hunt the prey for the lioness and satisfy the hunger of the lions" 40 When they crouch in their dens or lie in wait in a thicket? 41 Who provides food for the raven when its young cry out to God and wander about for lack of food? (NIV)

27 To satisfy the waste and desolate ground and to cause the tender grass to spring forth? 28 Has the rain a father? Or who has begotten the drops of dew? 29 Out of whose womb came the ice? And the hoary frost of heaven, who has given it birth? 30 The waters are congealed like stone, and the face of the deep is frozen. 31 Can you bind the chains of [the cluster of stars called] Pleiades, or loose the cords of [the constellation] Orion? 32 Can you lead forth the signs of the zodiac in their season? Or can you guide [the stars of] the Bear with her young? 33 Do you know the ordinances of the heavens? Can you establish their rule upon the earth? 34 Can you lift up your voice to the clouds, so that an abundance of waters may cover you? 35 Can you send lightnings, that they may go and say to you, Here we are? 36 Who has put wisdom in the inward parts [or in the dark clouds]? Or who has given understanding to the mind [or to the meteor]? 37 Who can number the clouds by wisdom? Or who can pour out the [water] bottles of the heavens 38 When [heat has caused] the dust to run into a mass and the clods to cleave fast together? 39 Can you [Job] hunt the prey for the lion? Or satisfy the appetite of the young lions 40 When they couch in their dens or lie in wait in their hiding place? 41 Who provides for the raven its prey when its young ones cry to God and wander about for lack of food? (AMP)

27 To satisfy the desolate and waste ground; and to cause the bud of the tender herb to spring forth? 28 Hath the rain a father? or who hath begotten the drops of dew? 29 Out of whose womb came the ice? and the hoary frost of heaven, who hath gendered it? 30 The waters are hid as with a stone, and the face of the deep is frozen. 31 Canst thou bind the sweet influences of Pleiades, or loose the bands of Orion? 32 Canst thou bring forth Mazzaroth in his season? or canst thou guide Arcturus with his sons? 33 Knowest thou the ordinances of heaven? canst thou set the dominion thereof in the earth? 34 Canst thou lift up thy voice to the clouds, that abundance of waters may cover thee? 35 Canst thou send lightnings, that they may go and say unto thee, Here we are? 36 Who hath put wisdom in the inward parts? or who hath given understanding to the heart? 37 Who can number the clouds in wisdom? or who can stay the bottles of heaven, 38 When the dust groweth into hardness, and the clods cleave fast together? 39 Wilt thou hunt the prey for the lion? or fill the appetite of the young lions, 40 When they couch in their dens, and abide in the covert to lie in wait? 41 Who provideth for the raven his food? when his young ones cry unto God, they wander for lack of meat.
