25Who hath divided a watercourse for the overflowing of waters, or a way for the lightning of thunder;

27To satisfy the desolate and waste ground; and to cause the bud of the tender herb to spring forth?
28Hath the rain a father? or who hath begotten the drops of dew?
29Out of whose womb came the ice? and the hoary frost of heaven, who hath gendered it?
30The waters are hid as with a stone, and the face of the deep is frozen.

33Knowest thou the ordinances of heaven? canst thou set the dominion thereof in the earth?
