• 1 At this also my heart trembles, and is moved out of his place.
  • 2 Hear attentively the noise of his voice, and the sound that goes out of his mouth.
  • 3 He directs it under the whole heaven, and his lightning to the ends of the earth.
  • 4 After it a voice roars: he thunders with the voice of his excellency; and he will not stay them when his voice is heard.
  • 5 God thunders marvelously with his voice; great things does he, which we cannot comprehend.
  • 6 For he said to the snow, Be you on the earth; likewise to the small rain, and to the great rain of his strength.
  • 7 He seals 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 comes 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 wearies the thick cloud: he scatters his bright cloud:
  • 12 And it is turned round about by his counsels: that they may do whatever he commands them on the face of the world in the earth.
  • 13 He causes it to come, whether for correction, or for his land, or for mercy.
  • 14 Listen to this, O Job: stand still, and consider the wondrous works of God.
  • 15 Do you know when God disposed them, and caused the light of his cloud to shine?
  • 16 Do you know the balancing of the clouds, the wondrous works of him which is perfect in knowledge?
  • 17 How your garments are warm, when he quiets the earth by the south wind?
  • 18 Have you with him spread out the sky, which is strong, and as a molten looking glass?
  • 19 Teach us what we shall say to 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 passes, and cleans them.
  • 22 Fair weather comes 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 respects not any that are wise of heart.
