⁶ The Lord does whatever pleases him,^(A)
    in the heavens and on the earth,^(B)
    in the seas and all their depths.
⁷ He makes clouds rise from the ends of the earth;
    he sends lightning with the rain^(C)
    and brings out the wind^(D) from his storehouses.^(E)

³⁴ “Can you raise your voice to the clouds
    and cover yourself with a flood of water?^(A)
35 Do you send the lightning bolts on their way?^(B)
    Do they report to you, ‘Here we are’?
³⁶ Who gives the ibis wisdom^[a](C)
    or gives the rooster understanding?^[b](D)
37 Who has the wisdom to count the clouds?
    Who can tip over the water jars^(E) of the heavens^(F)
38 when the dust becomes hard^(G)
    and the clods of earth stick together?^(H)

⁶ I will make it a wasteland,^(A)
    neither pruned nor cultivated,
    and briers and thorns^(B) will grow there.
I will command the clouds
    not to rain^(C) on it.”

²² Should you not fear^(A) me?” declares the Lord.
    “Should you not tremble^(B) in my presence?
I made the sand a boundary for the sea,^(C)
    an everlasting barrier it cannot cross.
The waves may roll, but they cannot prevail;
    they may roar,^(D) but they cannot cross it.
²³ But these people have stubborn and rebellious^(E) hearts;
    they have turned aside^(F) and gone away.
²⁴ They do not say to themselves,
    ‘Let us fear^(G) the Lord our God,
who gives autumn and spring rains^(H) in season,
    who assures us of the regular weeks of harvest.’^(I)
25 Your wrongdoings have kept these away;
    your sins have deprived you of good.^(J)
