Chapter 37 | |
1 | At this also my heart trembleth, and is moved out of his place.  | 
 
2 | Hear attentively the noise of his voice, and the sound that goeth out of his mouth.  | 
 
3 | He directeth it under the whole heaven, and his lightning unto the ends of the earth.  | 
4 | After it a voice roareth: he thundereth with the voice of his excellency; and he will not stay them when his voice is heard.  | 
 
5 | God thundereth marvellously with his voice; great things doeth he, which we cannot comprehend.  | 
6 | For he saith to the snow, Be thou on the earth; likewise to the small rain, and to the great rain of his strength.  | 
7 | He sealeth up the hand of every man; that all men may know his work.  | 
8 | Then the beasts go into dens, and remain in their places.  | 
9 | Out of the south cometh the whirlwind: and cold out of the north.  | 
10 | By the breath of God frost is given: and the breadth of the waters is straitened.  | 
11 | 
Also by watering he wearieth the thick cloud: he scattereth his bright cloud:  | 
12 | And 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.  | 
13 | He causeth it to come, whether for correction, or for his land, or for mercy.  | 
14 |  
Hearken unto this, O Job: stand still, and consider the wondrous works of God.  | 
15 | Dost thou know when God disposed them, and caused the light of his cloud to shine?  | 
16 | Dost thou know the balancings of the clouds, the wondrous works of him which is perfect in knowledge?  |  
17 | How thy garments are warm, when he quieteth the earth by the south wind?  | 
18 | Hast thou with him spread out the 1sky, which is 
strong, and as a molten looking glass?
  | 
19 | Teach us what we shall say unto him; for we cannot order our speech by reason of darkness.  | 
20 | Shall it be told him that I speak? if a man speak, surely he shall be swallowed up.  | 
 
21 | And now men see not the bright light which is in the clouds: but the wind passeth, and cleanseth them.  | 
22 | Fair weather cometh out of the north: with God is terrible majesty.  | 
23 | Touching the Almighty, we cannot find him out: he is excellent in power, and in judgment, and in plenty of justice: he will not afflict.  | 
24 | Men do therefore fear him: he respecteth not any that are wise of heart.  |
