37:1 At this also my heart trembleth, and is moved out of its
place.
37:2 Hear attentively the noise of his voice, and the sound
[that] goeth out of his mouth.
37:3 He directeth it under the whole heaven, and his lightning
to the ends of the earth.
37:4 After it a voice roareth: he thundereth with the voice of
his excellence; and he will not stay them when his voice is
heard.
37:5 God thundereth marvelously with his voice; great things he
doeth, which we cannot comprehend.
37:6 For he saith to the snow, Be thou [on] the earth; likewise
to the small rain, and to the great rain of his strength.
37:7 He sealeth up the hand of every man; that all men may know
his work.
37:8 Then the beasts go into dens, and remain in their places.
37:9 From the south cometh the whirlwind: and cold from the
north.
37:10 By the breath of God frost is given: and the breadth of
the waters is straitened.
37:11 Also by watering he wearieth the thick cloud: he
scattereth his bright cloud:
37:12 And it is turned around by his counsels: that they may do
whatever he commandeth them upon the face of the world on the
earth.
37:13 He causeth it to come, whether for correction, or for his
land, or for mercy.
37:14 Hearken to this, O Job: stand still, and consider the
wondrous works of God.
37:15 Dost thou know when God disposed them, and caused the
light of his cloud to shine?
37:16 Dost thou know the balancings of the clouds, the wondrous
works of him who is perfect in knowledge?
37:17 How thy garments [are] warm, when he quieteth the earth by
the south [wind]?
37:18 Hast thou with him spread out the sky [which is] strong,
[and] as a molten looking-glass?
37:19 Teach us what we shall say to him; [for] we cannot order
[our speech] by reason of darkness.
37:20 Shall it be told him that I speak? If a man shall speak,
surely he will be swallowed up.
37:21 And now [men] see not the bright light which [is] in the
clouds: but the wind passeth, and cleanseth them.
37:22 Fair weather cometh from the north: with God [is] terrible
majesty.
37:23 [Touching] the Almighty, we cannot find him out: [he is]
excellent in power, and in judgment, and in abundance of
justice: he will not afflict.
37:24 Men therefore fear him: he respecteth not any [that are]
wise of heart.
