Job 38:20-29 Catholic Public Domain Version (CPDV)

20. In this way, you might lead each thing to its final place, and understand the paths of its house.

21. So then, did you know when you were to be born? And did you know the number of your days?

22. Have you been admitted into the storehouses of the snows, and have you gazed upon the stockpile of the brimstone,

23. which I have prepared for the time of the enemy, for the day of the battle and the war?

24. In what way is the light scattered, and the heat distributed, over the earth?

25. Who gave a course to the rainstorms, and a path to the resounding thunder,

26. so that it would rain on the earth far from man, in the wilderness where no mortal lingers,

27. so that it would fill impassable and desolate places, and would bring forth green plants?

28. Who is the father of rain, or who conceived the drops of dew?

29. From whose womb did the ice proceed, and who created the frost from the air?
