37:1  "At this also my heart trembles, And leaps from its place.
37:2  "Listen closely to the thunder of His voice, And the rumbling that goes out from His mouth.
37:3  "Under the whole heaven He lets it loose, And His lightning to the ends of the earth.
37:4  "After it, a voice roars; He thunders with His majestic voice, And He does not restrain the lightnings when His voice is heard.
37:5  "God thunders with His voice wondrously, Doing great things which we cannot comprehend.
37:6  "For to the snow He says, 'Fall on the earth,' And to the downpour and the rain, 'Be strong.'
37:7  "He seals the hand of every man, That all men may know His work.
37:8  "Then the beast goes into its lair And remains in its den.
37:9  "Out of the south comes the storm, And out of the north the cold.
37:10  "From the breath of God ice is made, And the expanse of the waters is frozen.
37:11  "Also with moisture He loads the thick cloud; He disperses the cloud of His lightning.
37:12  "It changes direction, turning around by His guidance, That it may do whatever He commands it On the face of the inhabited earth.
37:13  "Whether for correction, or for His world, Or for lovingkindness, He causes it to happen.
37:14  "Listen to this, O Job, Stand and consider the wonders of God.
37:15  "Do you know how God establishes them, And makes the lightning of His cloud to shine?
37:16  "Do you know about the layers of the thick clouds, The wonders of one perfect in knowledge,
37:17  You whose garments are hot, When the land is still because of the south wind?
37:18  "Can you, with Him, spread out the skies, Strong as a molten mirror?
37:19  "Teach us what we shall say to Him; We cannot arrange our case because of darkness.
37:20  "Shall it be told Him that I would speak? Or should a man say that he would be swallowed up?
37:21  "Now men do not see the light which is bright in the skies; But the wind has passed and cleared them.
37:22  "Out of the north comes golden splendor; Around God is awesome majesty.
37:23  "The Almighty-- we cannot find Him; He is exalted in power And He will not do violence to justice and abundant righteousness.
37:24  "Therefore men fear Him; He does not regard any who are wise of heart."
