←Prev   Job 37 as rendered by/in  Next→ 


37:1  “At this my heart trembles and leaps from its place.
37:2  Listen carefully to the roar of His voice, the rumbling that comes from His mouth.
37:3  Under the whole heaven He lets it loose, and His light to the ends of the earth.
37:4  After that a voice roars; He thunders with His majestic voice. He does not hold them back when His voice is heard.
37:5  God thunders wondrously with His voice; He does great things beyond our comprehension.
37:6  “For to the snow He says, ‘Fall to the earth,’ and to the torrential rain—be a mighty downpour of rain.
37:7  He seals the hand of every man, so that all men will know His work.
37:8  The animals go into their lairs; they remain in their dens.
37:9  Out of its chamber comes the storm, and icy cold from the driving wind.
37:10  From the breath of God frost is made, and the watery expanse freezes.
37:11  He loads the cloud with moisture; He scatters His cloud of lightning.
37:12  It swirls around by His guidance, to do whatever He commands on the face of the inhabited world.
37:13  Whether it is a rod of punishment or for His land or for lovingkindness, He causes it to happen.
37:14  “Listen to this, Job: stand and consider God’s wonders.
37:15  Do you know how God orders them, and makes the lightning flash in His cloud?
37:16  Do you know the balancing of clouds, the wonders of Him who has perfect knowledge?
37:17  “You, whose clothes are hot, when the earth is still, because of the south wind,
37:18  can you, with Him, stretch out the skies, strong as a mirror of molten metal?
37:19  Teach us what to say to Him; we cannot prepare a case because of the darkness.
37:20  Should He be informed that I want to speak? If a man speaks, would he be swallowed up?
37:21  But now, they do not see the light, bright as it is in the skies, until the wind has passed and cleared the clouds away.
37:22  Out of the north comes in golden splendor; around God is awesome majesty.
37:23  Shaddai, we cannot find Him! He is great in power and justice, and abundant righteousness He does not oppress.
37:24  Therefore people fear Him; He does not regard all the wise of heart.”
