Job 38:28 in Context — Job 38

26 Para chover sobre a terra [onde] havia ninguém, [sobre] o deserto, onde não há gente,

27 Para fartar [a terra] deserta e desolada, e para fazer crescer aos renovos da erva.

28 Por acaso a chuva tem pai? Ou quem gera as gotas do orvalho?

29 De qual ventre procede o gelo? E quem gera a geada do céu?

30 As águas se tornam duras como pedra, e a superfície do abismo se congela.
