and,water_jars heavens who? tilt
Yahweh is speaking of the clouds in the skies as if they were water skins, containers for liquid made of animals skins, like the wineskins that Elihu described in 32:19. When Yahweh asks who will tilt these water skins, he means who will tip them over so that they pour out their contents. If it would be clearer in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “Or who will make the clouds pour out water onto the earth”
