Job 38:35-37
EasyEnglish Bible

35 You cannot send the lightning
    to hit the place that you want it to go.
The lightning does not say to you,
    “We are ready to go wherever you want.”
36 Who has given people wisdom,
    so that they understand things with their minds?
37 Is anyone wise enough to count the clouds?
    Can anyone cause the clouds to pour down rain from above?
