Chapter 37

At this also my heart trembleth,⁴ and is moved⁴ out of his place.

Hear³ attentively² the noise of his voice, and the sound [that] goeth out⁴ of his mouth.

He directeth^{14 8281 4} it under the whole heaven, and his lightning unto the ends of the earth.

After it a voice roareth:⁴ he thundereth⁵⁵ with the voice of his excellency; and he will not stay¹⁷ them when his voice is heard.¹¹

God thundereth⁵⁵ marvellously¹² with his voice; great things doeth⁶ he, which we cannot comprehend.⁴

For he saith⁴ to the snow, Be³ thou [on] the earth; likewise to the small rain, and to the great rain of his strength.

He sealeth up⁴ the hand of every man; that all men may know² his work.

Then the beasts go⁴ into dens, and remain⁴ in their places.

Out of the south cometh⁴ the whirlwind: and cold out of the north.

By the breath of God frost is given:⁴ and the breadth of the waters is straitened.

Also by watering he wearieth⁵⁵ the thick cloud: he scattereth⁵⁵ his bright cloud:

And it is turned¹⁰² round about by his counsels: that they may do whatsoever he commandeth¹⁷ them upon the face of the world in the earth.

He causeth it to come,⁵⁵ whether for correction, or for his land, or for mercy.

Hearken⁵⁴ unto this, O Job: stand still,³ and consider¹¹² the wondrous works¹² of God.

Dost thou know⁴ when God disposed² them, and caused the light of his cloud to shine?⁵²

Dost thou know⁴ the balancings of the clouds, the wondrous works of him which is perfect in knowledge?

How thy garments [are] warm, when he quieteth⁵³ the earth by the south [wind]?

Hast thou with him spread out⁵⁵ the sky, [which is] strong, [and] as a molten⁹⁴ looking glass?

Teach⁵⁴ us what we shall say⁴ unto him; [for] we cannot order⁴ [our speech] by reason of darkness.

Shall it be told²⁹ him that I speak?¹⁷ if a man speak,¹ surely he shall be swallowed up.²⁹

And now [men] see¹ not the bright light which [is] in the clouds: but the wind passeth,¹ and cleanseth¹⁷ them.

Fair weather cometh⁴ out of the north: with God [is] terrible¹² majesty.

[Touching] the Almighty, we cannot find him out:¹ [he is] excellent in power, and in judgment, and in plenty of justice: he will not afflict.¹⁷

Men do therefore fear¹ him: he respecteth⁴ not any [that are] wise of heart.
