The deep springs and the sky had been shut, and the rain had stopped pouring.
On the seventeenth day of the second month of the six hundredth year of Noah’s life, all the deep springs burst open. The sky opened,
and rain came pouring down on the earth for 40 days and 40 nights.
In seven days I will send rain to the earth for 40 days and 40 nights. I will wipe off the face of the earth every living creature that I have made.”

Who is wise enough to count the clouds or pour out the water jars of heaven
when he established the skies above, when he determined the currents in the ocean,
You threw me into the deep, into the depths of the sea, and water surrounded me. All the whitecaps on your waves have swept over me.
As you know, I’m in a chain of command and have soldiers at my command. I tell one of them, ‘Go!’ and he goes, and another, ‘Come!’ and he comes. I tell my servant, ‘Do this!’ and he does it.”
