XXXIX] :Or loose the bands of Orion?
 * Canst thou bring forth Mazzaroth in his season?
 * Or canst thou guide Arcturus with his sons?
 * Knowest thou the ordinances of heaven?
 * Canst thou set the dominion thereof in the earth?
 * Canst thou lift up thy voice to the clouds,
 * That abundance of waters may cover thee?
 * Canst thou send lightnings, that they may go,
 * And say unto thee, Here we are?
 * Who hath put wisdom in the inward parts?
 * Or who hath given understanding to the heart?
 * Who can number the clouds in wisdom?
 * Or who can stay the bottles of heaven,
 * When the dust groweth into hardness,
 * And the clods cleave fast together?
 * Wilt thou hunt the prey for the lion?
 * Or fill the appetite of the young lions,
 * When they couch in their dens,
 * And abide in the covert to lie in wait?
 * Who provideth for the raven his food?
 * When his young ones cry unto God,
 * They wander for lack of meat.


 * thou the time when the wild goats of the rock bring forth?
 * Or canst thou mark when the hinds do calve?
 * Canst thou number the months that they fulfil?
 * Or knowest thou the time when they bring forth?
