Job 28:24

22 Abaddon and Death say, ‘We have heard a rumor about it.’

23 But God understands its way, and He knows its place.

For He looks to the ends of the earth and sees everything under the heavens.

25 When God fixed the weight of the wind and measured out the waters,

26 when He set a limit for the rain and a path for the thunderbolt,

Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
