Job 38:23
21 Surely you know, for you were already born! And the number of your days is great!
22 Have you entered the storehouses of snow or observed the storehouses of hail,
which I hold in reserve for times of trouble, for the day of war and battle?
24 In which direction is the lightning dispersed, or the east wind scattered over the earth?
25 Who cuts a channel for the flood or clears a path for the thunderbolt,
