"Who gave a course to the rainstorms, and a path to the resounding thunder, "
— Job 38:25, Catholic Public Domain Version
“Who hath divided a watercourse for the overflowing of waters, or a way for the lightning of thunder;”
“ Who hath cleft a channel for the waterflood, Or the way for the lightning of the thunder; ”
“Who has cut a channel for the flood water, or the path for the thunderstorm;”
“Who carves out a channel for the heavy rains, and a path for the rumble of thunder,”
“Who gave a course to violent showers, or a way for noisy thunder:”
“By whom has the way been cut for the flowing of the rain, and the flaming of the thunder;”
“Who hath divided a watercourse for the overflowing of waters, or a way for the lightning of thunder;”
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?
Who gave a course to the rainstorms, and a path to the resounding thunder,
so that it would rain on the earth far from man, in the wilderness where no mortal lingers,
so that it would fill impassable and desolate places, and would bring forth green plants?
Who is the father of rain, or who conceived the drops of dew?
