←Prev   Job 37 as rendered by/in  Next→ 


37:1  At this also my heart trembleth, and is moved out of its place.
37:2  Hearken ye unto the noise of his voice, and the sound that goeth out of his mouth.
37:3  He sendeth it forth under the whole heaven, and his lightning unto the ends of the earth.
37:4  After it a voice roareth; he thundereth with the voice of his majesty: and he stayeth them not when his voice is heard.
37:5  God thundereth marvelously with his voice; great things doeth he, which we cannot comprehend.
37:6  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.
37:7  He sealeth up the hand of every man; that all men whom he hath made may know it.
37:8  Then the beasts go into coverts, and remain in their dens.
37:9  Out of the chamber of the south cometh the storm: and cold out of the north.
37:10  By the breath of God ice is given: and the breadth of the waters is straitened.
37:11  Yea, he ladeth the thick cloud with moisture; he spreadeth abroad the cloud of his lightning:
37:12  And it is turned round about by his guidance, that they may do whatsoever he commandeth them upon the face of the habitable world.
37:13  Whether it be for correction, or for his land, or for mercy, that he cause it to come.
37:14  Hearken unto this, O Job: stand still, and consider the wondrous works of God.
37:15  Dost thou know how God layeth his charge upon them, and causeth the lightning of his cloud to shine?
37:16  Dost thou know the balancings of the clouds, the wondrous works of him which is perfect in knowledge?
37:17  How thy garments are warm, when the earth is still by reason of the south wind?
37:18  Canst thou with him spread out the sky, which is strong as a molten mirror?
37:19  Teach us what we shall say unto him; for we cannot order our speech by reason of darkness.
37:20  Shall it be told him that I would speak? or should a man wish that he were swallowed up?
37:21  And now men see not the light which is bright in the skies: but the wind passeth, and cleanseth them.
37:22  Out of the north cometh golden splendour: God hath upon him terrible majesty.
37:23  Touching the Almighty, we can not find him out; he is excellent in power: and in judgment and plenteous justice he will not afflict.
37:24  Men do therefore fear him: he regardeth not any that are wise of heart.
