Bible Verses About God

"Who shut up the sea behind closed doors when it gushed forth from the womb,

when I made the clouds its blanket and dense fog its swaddling cloth,

when I made the breakers its boundary set its gates and bars,

and said, 'You may come this far, but no farther; here your proud waves must stop'?

so that it could take hold of the edges of the earth and shake the wicked out of it?

which I save for times of trouble, for days of battle and war?

"By what path is light dispersed, or the east wind poured out on the land?

Who cut a channel for the downpours, or a way for the lightning and thunder,

causing it to rain where no one is, in a desert without anyone there,

drenching the waste and desolate [ground], till the tender grass sprouts?

Does the rain have a father? Who is the father of dewdrops?

From whose womb does ice come? Who gives birth to the frost of heaven,

when water becomes as hard as stone, and the surface of the deep freezes solid?

"Can you tie up the cords of the Pleiades or loosen the belt of Orion?

Can you lead out the constellations of the zodiac in their season or guide the Great Bear and its cubs?
