Job 38:28 in Context — Job 38

26 Pour que la pluie tombe sur une terre sans habitants, Sur un désert où il n’y a point d’hommes;

27 Pour qu’elle abreuve les lieux solitaires et arides, Et qu’elle fasse germer et sortir l’herbe?

28 La pluie a-t-elle un père? Qui fait naître les gouttes de la rosée?

29 Du sein de qui sort la glace, Et qui enfante le frimas du ciel,

30 Pour que les eaux se cachent comme une pierre, Et que la surface de l’abîme soit enchaînée?
