📖 Job 37
-
1
At this also my heart is astonied, and moued out of his place.
-
2
Heare then the sounde of his voyce, & the noyse that goeth out of his mouth.
-
3
He directeth it vnder the whole heauen, and his light vnto the endes of the worlde.
-
4
A roring voyce foloweth it: for his glorious maiestie geueth a thuder clappe, & he will not stay whe his voyce is heard.
-
5
God thundreth marueylously with his voyce, great thinges doth he which we can not comprehend.
-
6
He commaundeth the snow, and it falleth vpon earth: he geueth the rayne a charge, and the showres haue their strength and fall downe.
-
7
With the force of the rayne he shutteth men vp, that all men may knowe his workes.
-
8
The beastes creepe into their dennes, and remaine in their places.
-
9
Out of the south commeth the tempest, and colde out from the north winde.
-
10
At the breath of God the hoare frost is geuen, and the brode waters are frosen.
-
11
He maketh the cloudes to labour in geuing moystnesse, and againe with his light he dryueth away the cloude.
-
12
He turneth the heauens about by his gouernement, that they may do whatsoeuer he commaundeth them vpon the whole worlde.
-
13
Whether it be for punishment, or for his lande, or to do good to them that seeke him.
-
14
Hearken vnto this O Iob, stand still, and consider the wonderous workes of God.
-
15
Didst thou know when God disposed them? & caused the light of his cloudes to shine?
-
16
Hast thou knowen the varietie of the cloudes, and the wonderous workes of him which is perfect in knowledge?
-
17
And how thy clothes are warme, when the lande is stil through the south winde?
-
18
Hast thou helped him to spreade out the heauens which are strong and bright as a loking glasse?
-
19
Teache vs what we shall saye vnto him: for we are vnmeete to frame our talke because of darkenesse.
-
20
Shall it be tolde him what I saye? Shall man speake when he shalbe destroyed?
-
21
For men see not the light that shineth in the cloudes: but the winde passeth and cleanseth them.
-
22
The faire weather commeth out of the north, the prayse thereof is to God who is terrible.
-
23
It is the almightie, we can not finde him out: he is excellent in power and iudgement, and aboundaunt in iustice: he afflicteth not.
-
24
Let men therefore feare him: for there shall no man see him that is wyse in his owne conceit.
