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