Job 37

¹Yea, at this my heart trembleth, And is moved out of its place.

²Hear, oh, hear the noise of his voice, And the sound that goeth out of his mouth.

³He sendeth it forth under the whole heaven, And his lightning unto the ends of the earth.

⁴After it a voice roareth; He thundereth with the voice of his majesty; And he restraineth not the lightnings when his voice is heard.

⁵God thundereth marvellously with his voice; Great things doeth he, which we cannot comprehend.

¹At this also my heart trembleth, and is moved out of his place.

²Hear attentively the noise of his voice, and the sound that goeth out of his mouth.

³He directeth it under the whole heaven, and his lightning unto the ends of the earth.

⁴After it a voice roareth: he thundereth with the voice of his excellency; and he will not stay them when his voice is heard.

⁵God thundereth marvellously with his voice; great things doeth he, which we cannot comprehend.

⁶For he saith to the snow, Fall thou on the earth; Likewise to the shower of rain, And to the showers of his mighty rain.

⁷He sealeth up the hand of every man, That all men whom he hath made may know it.

⁶For he saith to the snow, Be thou on the earth; likewise to the small rain, and to the great rain of his strength.

⁷He sealeth up the hand of every man; that all men may know his work.

⁸Then the beasts go into coverts, And remain in their dens.

⁹Out of the chamber of the south cometh the storm, And cold out of the north.

¹⁰By the breath of God ice is given; And the breadth of the waters is straitened.

¹¹Yea, he ladeth the thick cloud with moisture; He spreadeth abroad the cloud of his lightning: ¹²And it is turned round about by his guidance, That they may do whatsoever he commandeth them Upon the face of the habitable world, ¹³Whether it be for correction, or for his land, Or for lovingkindness, that he cause it to come.

¹⁴Hearken unto this, O Job: Stand still, and consider the wondrous works of God.

⁸Then the beasts go into dens, and remain in their places.

⁹Out of the south cometh the whirlwind: and cold out of the north.

¹⁰By the breath of God frost is given: and the breadth of the waters is straitened.

¹¹Also by watering he wearieth the thick cloud: he scattereth his bright cloud:

¹²And it is turned round about by his counsels: that they may do whatsoever he commandeth them upon the face of the world in the earth.

¹³He causeth it to come, whether for correction, or for his land, or for mercy.

¹⁴Hearken unto this, O Job: stand still, and consider the wondrous works of God.

¹⁵Dost thou know how God layeth his charge upon them, And causeth the lightning of his cloud to shine?

¹⁶Dost thou know the balancings of the clouds, The wondrous works of him who is perfect in knowledge?

¹⁷How thy garments are warm, When the earth is still by reason of the south wind?

¹⁸Canst thou with him spread out the sky, Which is strong as a molten mirror?

¹⁵Dost thou know when God disposed them, and caused the light of his cloud to shine?

¹⁶Dost thou know the balancings of the clouds, the wondrous works of him which is perfect in knowledge?

¹⁷How thy garments are warm, when he quieteth the earth by the south wind?

¹⁸Hast thou with him spread out the sky, which is strong, and as a molten looking glass?

¹⁹Teach us what we shall say unto him; For we cannot set our speech in order by reason of darkness.

²⁰Shall it be told him that I would speak? Or should a man wish that he were swallowed up?

²¹And now men see not the light which is bright in the skies; But the wind passeth, and cleareth them.

²²Out of the north cometh golden splendor: God hath upon him terrible majesty.

²³Touching the Almighty, we cannot find him out: He is excellent in power; And in justice and plenteous righteousness he will not afflict.

²⁴Men do therefore fear him: He regardeth not any that are wise of heart.

¹⁹Teach us what we shall say unto him; for we cannot order our speech by reason of darkness.

²⁰Shall it be told him that I speak? if a man speak, surely he shall be swallowed up.

²¹And now men see not the bright light which is in the clouds: but the wind passeth, and cleanseth them.

²²Fair weather cometh out of the north: with God is terrible majesty.

²³Touching the Almighty, we cannot find him out: he is excellent in power, and in judgment, and in plenty of justice: he will not afflict.

²⁴Men do therefore fear him: he respecteth not any that are wise of heart.
