Job 38:40
38 when the dust hardens into a mass and the clods of earth stick together?
39 Can you hunt the prey for a lioness or satisfy the hunger of young lions
when they crouch in their dens and lie in wait in the thicket?
41 Who provides food for the raven when its young cry out to God as they wander about for lack of food?
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
