←Prev   Job 37 as rendered by/in  Next→ 


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 travels 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 lightning when His voice is heard.
37:5  God thunders wondrously with His voice, Doing great things which we do not 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 person, So that all people may know His work.
37:8  Then the animal goes into its lair And remains in its den.
37:9  From the south comes the storm, And from the north wind the cold.
37:10  From the breath of God ice is made, And the expanse of the waters is frozen.
37:11  He also loads the clouds with moisture; 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 earth, Or for goodness, He causes it to happen.
37:14  “Listen to this, Job; Stand and consider the wonders of God.
37:15  Do you know how God establishes them, And makes the lightning of His clouds to shine?
37:16  Do you know about the hovering of the clouds, The wonders of One who is 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 cast metal mirror?
37:19  Teach us what we are to say to Him; We cannot present 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 people do not see the light which is bright in the skies; But the wind has passed and cleared them.
37:22  From 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 violate justice and abundant righteousness.
37:24  Therefore people fear Him; He does not regard any who are wise of heart.”
