Job 37
- 1At this also my heart trembles, and is moved out of his place.
- 2Hear attentively the noise of his voice, and the sound that goes out of his mouth.
- 3He directs it under the whole heaven, and his lightning to the ends of the earth.
- 4After it a voice roars. He thunders with the voice of his majesty, and he will not stay them when his voice is heard.
- 5God thunders marvelously with his voice. Great things does he, which we cannot comprehend.
- 6For he says to the snow, Be on the earth, likewise to the small rain, and to the great rain of his strength.
- 7He seals up the hand of every man, that all men may know his work.
- 8Then the beasts go into dens, and remain in their places.
- 9Out of the south comes the whirlwind: and cold out of the north.
- 10By the breath of God frost is given, and the width of the waters is narrowed.
- 11Also by watering he wearies the thick cloud: he scatters his bright cloud:
- 12And it is turned around by his plans: that they may do whatever he commands them on the face of the world in the earth.
- 13He causes it to come, whether for correction, or for his land, or for mercy.
- 14Listen to this, O Job: stand still, and consider the wonderful works of God.
- 15Do you know when God disposed them, and caused the light of his cloud to shine?
- 16Do you know how the clouds hang in the sky, the wonderful works of him who is perfect in knowledge?
- 17How your garments are warm, when he quiets the earth by the south wind?
- 18Have you with him spread out the sky, which is strong, and hard like a mirror of cast metal?
- 19Teach us what we shall say to 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 do not see the bright light which is in the clouds, but the wind passes, and cleanses them.
- 22Fair weather comes out of the north: with God is awesome majesty.
- 23Concerning the Almighty, we cannot find him out: he is excellent in power, and in judgment, and in plenty of justice: he does not oppress.
- 24Men do therefore fear him: he does not respect any that are wise of heart.
