32 Can you lead out
the constellations[a] in their seasons,
or guide the Bear with its cubs?[b]

or can you set up their rule over the earth?
34 Can you raise your voice to the clouds
so that a flood of water covers you?[c]
Footnotes
- Job 38:32 tn The word מַזָּרוֹת (mazzarot) is taken by some to refer to the constellations (see 2 Kgs 23:5), and by others as connected to the word for “crown,” and so “corona.”
- Job 38:32 sn See Job 9:9.
- Job 38:34 tc The LXX has “answer you,” and some editors have adopted this. However, the reading of the MT makes better sense in the verse.
