Job.
|
||
Chapter 37.
|
||
“Yes, at this my heart trembles, and is moved out of its place.
|
||
Hear, oh, hear the noise of his voice, the sound that goes out of his mouth.
|
||
He sends it out under the whole sky, and his lightning to the ends of the earth.
|
||
After it a voice roars. He thunders with the voice of his majesty. He doesn’t hold back anything when his voice is heard.
|
||
God thunders marvelously with his voice. He does great things, which we can’t comprehend.
|
||
For he says to the snow, ‘Fall on the earth,’ likewise to the shower of rain, and to the showers of his mighty rain.
|
||
He seals up the hand of every man, that all men whom he has made may know it.
|
||
Then the animals take cover, and remain in their dens.
|
||
Out of its room comes the storm, and cold out of the north.
|
||
By the breath of God, ice is given, and the width of the waters is frozen.
|
||
Yes, he loads the thick cloud with moisture. He spreads abroad the cloud of his lightning.
|
||
It is turned around by his guidance, that they may do whatever he commands them on the surface of the habitable world,
|
||
whether it is for correction, or for his land, or for loving kindness, that he causes it to come.
|
||
“Listen to this, Job. Stand still, and consider the wondrous works of God.
|
||
Do you know how God controls them, and causes the lightning of his cloud to shine?
|
||
Do you know the workings of the clouds, the wondrous works of him who is perfect in knowledge?
|
||
You whose clothing is warm when the earth is still by reason of the south wind?
|
||
Can you, with him, spread out the sky, which is strong as a cast metal mirror?
|
||
Teach us what we will tell him, for we can’t make our case by reason of darkness.
|
||
Will it be told him that I would speak? Or should a man wish that he were swallowed up?
|
||
Now men don’t see the light which is bright in the skies, but the wind passes, and clears them.
|
||
Out of the north comes golden splendor. With God is awesome majesty.
|
||
We can’t reach the Almighty. He is exalted in power. In justice and great righteousness, he will not oppress.
|
||
Therefore men revere him. He doesn’t regard any who are wise of heart.”
