34  “Can you lift up your voice to the clouds,

that ^ka flood of waters may cover you?

35  Can you send forth lightnings, that they may go

and say to you, ‘Here we are’?

36  Who has put wisdom ^lin the inward parts¹

or given ^munderstanding to the mind?²

37  Who can number the clouds by wisdom?

Or who can tilt the waterskins of the heavens,

38  when the dust runs into a mass

and the clods stick fast together?

39  “Can you hunt the prey ⁿfor the lion,

or satisfy the appetite of the young lions,

40  when they crouch in their dens

or lie in wait in their thicket?

41  ^oWho provides for the raven its prey,

when its young ones cry to God for help,

and wander about for lack of food?
