37:1  “About this also my heart trembles, and it leaps from its place.
37:2  Listen carefully to his voice’s thunder and the rumbling that goes out from his mouth.
37:3  He lets it loose under all the heavens, and his lightning to the earth’s corners.
37:4  After it, his voice roars; it thunders with his majestic voice, and he does not restrain it when his voice is heard.
37:5  “God thunders with his voice in marvelous ways; he does great things, and we cannot comprehend.
37:6  For to the snow he says, ‘Fall on the earth’; and the shower of rain, his heavy shower of rain—
37:7  he stops all human beings from working so that everyone whom he has made may know it.
37:8  Then the animal goes into its den, and it remains in its den.
37:9  “The storm wind comes from its chamber and cold from the north wind.
37:10  By God’s breath, ice is given, and the broad waters are frozen.
37:11  Also, he loads down thick clouds with moisture; his lightning scatters the clouds.
37:12  And they turn around by his guidance to accomplish all that he has commanded them on the face of the habitable world.
37:13  Whether as correction or for his land, or as loyal love, he lets it happen.
37:14  “Hear this, Job; stand still and consider carefully God’s wondrous works.
37:15  Do you know how God commands them and how he causes his cloud’s lightning to shine?
37:16  Do you know about the hovering of the clouds, the marvelous works of the one with perfect knowledge?
37:17  You whose garments are hot, when the earth is being still because of the south wind,
37:18  with him can you spread out the skies, hard as a molten mirror?
37:19  “Teach us what we should say to him; we cannot draw up our case because of the presence of darkness.
37:20  Should he be told that I want to speak? Or did a man say that he would be communicated with?
37:21  So then, they do not look at the light when it is bright in the skies, when the wind has passed and has cleansed them.
37:22  From the north comes gold— awesome majesty is around God.
37:23  As for Shaddai, we cannot attain him; he is exalted in power, and he does not oppress justice and abundant righteousness.
37:24  Therefore people revered him; he does not regard any who think that they are wise.”
