25
“Who has cleft a channel for the flood,
Or a way for the thunderbolt,
26
To bring (A)rain on a land without (a)people,
On a desert without a man in it,
27
To (B)satisfy the waste and desolate land
And to make the (b)seeds of grass to sprout?
28
“Has (C)the rain a father?
Or who has begotten the drops of dew?
29
“From whose womb has come the (D)ice?
And the frost of heaven, who has given it birth?
30
“Water (c)becomes hard like stone,
And the surface of the deep is imprisoned.
