Job 37

¹"Yes, at this my heart trembles, And is moved out of its place.

²Hear, oh, hear the noise of his voice, The sound that goes out of his mouth.

³He sends it forth under the whole sky, And his lightning to the ends of the earth.

⁴After it a voice roars. He thunders with the voice of his majesty; He doesn`t hold back anything when his voice is heard.

⁵God thunders marvelously with his voice. He does great things, which we can`t comprehend.

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

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

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

⁹Out of its chamber comes the storm, And cold out of the north.

¹⁰By the breath of God, ice is given, And the breadth of the waters is frozen.

¹¹Yes, he loads the thick cloud with moisture. He spreads abroad the cloud of his lightning.

¹²It is turned round about by his guidance, That they may do whatever he commands them On the surface of the habitable world,

¹³Whether it is for correction, or for his land, Or for lovingkindness, that he causes it to come.

¹⁴"Listen to this, Job: Stand still, and consider the wondrous works of God.

¹⁵Do you know how God controls them, And causes the lightning of his cloud to shine?

¹⁶Do you know the workings of the clouds, The wondrous works of him who is perfect in knowledge?

¹⁷You whose clothing is warm, When the earth is still by reason of the south wind?

¹⁸Can you, with him, spread out the sky, Which is strong as a cast metal mirror?

¹⁹Teach us what we shall tell him; For we can`t make our case by reason of darkness.

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

²¹Now men don`t see the light which is bright in the skies, But the wind passes, and clears them.

²²Out of the north comes golden splendor; With God is awesome majesty.

²³We can`t reach the Almighty, He is exalted in power; In justice and great righteousness he will not oppress.

²⁴Therefore men revere him. He doesn`t regard any who are wise of heart."
