And is moved out of its place.
37:2Hear, oh, hear the noise of his voice,
And the sound that goeth out of his mouth.
37:3He sendeth it forth under the whole heaven,
And his lightening unto the ends of the earth.
37:4After it a voice roareth;
He thundereth with the voice of his majesty;
And he restraineth not the lightnings when his voice is heard.
37:5God thundereth marvellously with his voice;
Great things doeth he, which we cannot comprehend.
37:6For he saith to the snow, Fall thou on the earth;
Likewise to the shower of rain,
And to the showers of his mighty rain.
37:7He sealeth up the hand of every man,
That all men whom he hath made may know it.
37:8Then the beasts go into coverts,
And remain in their dens.
37:9Out of the chamber of the south cometh the storm,
And cold out of the north.
37:10By the breath of God ice is given;
And the breadth of the waters is straitened.
37:11Yea, he ladeth the thick cloud with moisture;
He spreadeth abroad the cloud of his lightning:
37:12And it is turned round about by his guidance,
That they may do whatsoever he commandeth them
Upon the face of the habitable world,
37:13Whether it be for correction, or for his land,
Or for lovingkindness, that he cause it to come. \\ \\
37:14Hearken unto this, O Job:
Stand still, and consider the wondrous works of God.
37:15Dost thou know how God layeth his charge upon them,
And causeth the lightning of his cloud to shine?
37:16Dost thou know the balancings of the clouds,
The wondrous works of him who is perfect in knowledge?
37:17How thy garments are warm,
When the earth is still by reason of the south wind?
37:18Canst thou with him spread out the sky,
Which is strong as a molten mirror?
37:19Teach us what we shall say unto him;
For we cannot set our speech in order by reason of darkness.
37:20Shall it be told him that I would speak?
Or should a man wish that he were swallowed up?
37:21And now men see not the light which is bright in the skies;
But the wind passeth, and cleareth them.
37:22Out of the north cometh golden splendor:
God hath upon him terrible majesty.
37:23Touching the Almighty, we cannot find him out
He is excellent in power;
And in justice and plenteous righteousness he will not afflict.
37:24Men do therefore fear him:
He regardeth not any that are wise of heart.
