Job 38:37-41

Context

38:37 Who by wisdom can count the clouds,

and who can tip over 1  the water jars of heaven,

38:38 when the dust hardens 2  into a mass,

and the clumps of earth stick together?

38:39 “Do you hunt prey for the lioness,

and satisfy the appetite 3  of the lions,

38:40 when they crouch in their dens,

when they wait in ambush in the thicket?

38:41 Who prepares prey for the raven,

when its young cry out to God

and wander about 4  for lack of food?

[38:37]  1 tn The word actually means “to cause to lie down.”

[38:38]  2 tn The word means “to flow” or “to cast” (as in casting metals). So the noun developed the sense of “hard,” as in cast metal.

[38:39]  3 tn Heb “fill up the life of.”

[38:41]  4 tn The verse is difficult, making some suspect that a line has dropped out. The little birds in the nest hardly go wandering about looking for food. Dhorme suggest “and stagger for lack of food.”
