📖 Job 37
-
1
At this also mine heart is astonied, & is mooued out of his place.
-
2
Heare the sound of his voyce, and the noyse that goeth out of his mouth.
-
3
He directeth it vnder the whole heauen, and his light vnto the endes of the world.
-
4
After it a noyse soundeth: hee thundereth with the voyce of his maiestie, and hee will not stay them when his voyce is heard.
-
5
God thundereth marueilously with his voyce: he worketh great things, which we know not.
-
6
For he sayth to the snowe, Be thou vpon the earth: likewise to the small rayne and to the great rayne of his power.
-
7
With the force thereof he shutteth vp euery man, that all men may knowe his worke.
-
8
Then the beastes go into the denne, and remaine in their places.
-
9
The whirlewind commeth out of the South, and the colde from the North winde.
-
10
At the breath of God the frost is giuen, & the breadth of the waters is made narrowe.
-
11
He maketh also the cloudes to labour, to water the earth, and scattereth the cloude of his light.
-
12
And it is turned about by his gouernment, that they may doe whatsoeuer he commandeth them vpon the whole worlde:
-
13
Whether it be for punishment, or for his lande, or of mercie, he causeth it to come.
-
14
Hearken vnto this, O Iob: stand and consider the wonderous workes of God.
-
15
Diddest thou knowe when God disposed them? & caused the light of his cloud to shine?
-
16
Hast thou knowen the varietie of the cloude, and the wonderous workes of him, that is perfite in knowledge?
-
17
Or howe thy clothes are warme, when he maketh the earth quiet through the South winde?
-
18
Hast thou stretched out the heaues, which are strong, and as a molten glasse?
-
19
Tell vs what we shall say vnto him: for we can not dispose our matter because of darknes.
-
20
Shall it be told him when I speake? Or shall man speake when he shalbe destroyed?
-
21
And nowe men see not the light, which shineth in the cloudes, but the winde passeth and clenseth them.
-
22
The brightnesse commeth out of the North: the praise thereof is to God, which is terrible.
-
23
It is the Almightie: we can not finde him out: he is excellent in power and iudgement, & aboundant in iustice: he afflicteth not.
-
24
Let men therefore feare him: for he will not regarde any that are wise in their owne conceit.
