31-33 “Can you catch the eye of the beautiful Pleiades sisters,or distract Orion from his hunt?Can you get Venus to look your way,or get the Great Bear and her cubs to come out and play?Do you know the first thing about the sky’s constellationsand how they affect things on Earth?
34-35 “Can you get the attention of the clouds,and commission a shower of rain?Can you take charge of the lightning boltsand have them report to you for orders?
36-38 “Who do you think gave weather-wisdom to the ibis,and storm-savvy to the rooster?Does anyone know enough to number all the cloudsor tip over the rain barrels of heavenWhen the earth is cracked and dry,the ground baked hard as a brick?
39-41 “Can you teach the lioness to stalk her preyand satisfy the appetite of her cubsAs they crouch in their den,waiting hungrily in their cave?And who sets out food for the ravenswhen their young cry to God,fluttering about because they have no food?”
