26 Haciendo llover sobre la tierra deshabitada, sobre el desierto, donde no hay hombre,

27 Para hartar la [tierra] desierta é inculta, y para hacer brotar la tierna hierba?

28 ¿Tiene la lluvia padre? ¿ó quién engendró las gotas del rocío?

29 ¿De qué vientre salió el hielo? y la escarcha del cielo, ¿quién la engendró?

30 Las aguas se endurecen á manera de piedra, y congélase la haz del abismo.
