Chapter 37

1


 

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

 

 

--

2


 

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

 

 

--

3


 

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

 

 

--

4


 

  After it a voice roareth; He thundereth with the voice of his majesty; And he restraineth not [the lightnings] 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, Fall thou on the earth; Likewise to the shower of rain, And to the showers of his mighty rain.  

 

 

--

7


 

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

 

 

--

8


 

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

 

 

--

9


 

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

 

 

--

10


 

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

 

 

--

11


 

  Yea, he ladeth the thick cloud with moisture; He spreadeth abroad the cloud of his lightning:  

 

 

--

12


 

  And it is turned round about by his guidance, That they may do whatsoever he commandeth them Upon the face of the habitable world,  

 

 

--

13


 

  Whether it be for correction, or for his land, Or for lovingkindness, that he cause it to come.  

 

 

--

14


 

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

 

 

--

15


 

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

 

 

--

16


 

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

 

 

--

17


 

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

 

 

--

18


 

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

 

 

--

19


 

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

 

 

--

20


 

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

 

 

--

21


 

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

 

 

--

22


 

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

 

 

--

23


 

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

 

 

--

24


 

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