So then, did you know when you were to be born? And did you know the number of your days?
Have you been admitted into the storehouses of the snows, and have you gazed upon the stockpile of the brimstone,
which I have prepared for the time of the enemy, for the day of the battle and the war?
In what way is the light scattered, and the heat distributed, over the earth?
