Job 38:24-26
New English Translation

24 In what direction is lightning[a] dispersed,
or the east winds scattered over the earth?
25 Who carves out a channel for the heavy rains,
and a path for the rumble of thunder,
26 to cause it to rain on an uninhabited land,[b]
a wilderness where there are no human beings,[c]

Footnotes

  1. Job 38:24 tn Because the parallel with “light” and “east wind” is not tight, Hoffmann proposed עֵד (ʿed) instead, “mist.” This has been adopted by many. G. R. Driver suggests “parching heat” (“Problems in the Hebrew text of Job,” VTSup 3 [1955]: 91-92).
  2. Job 38:26 tn Heb “on a land, no man.”
  3. Job 38:26 tn Heb “a desert, no man in it.”
