📖 Job 37
-
1
"Yes, at this my heart trembles, and is moved out of its place.
-
2
Hear, oh, hear the noise of his voice, the sound that goes out of his mouth.
-
3
He sends it forth under the whole sky, and his lightning to the ends of the earth.
-
4
After it a voice roars. He thunders with the voice of his majesty. He doesn't hold back anything when his voice is heard.
-
5
God thunders marvelously with his voice. He does great things, which we can't comprehend.
-
6
For he says to the snow, 'Fall on the earth;' likewise to the shower of rain, and to the showers of his mighty rain.
-
7
He seals up the hand of every man, that all men whom he has made may know it.
-
8
Then the animals take cover, and remain in their dens.
-
9
Out of its room comes the storm, and cold out of the north.
-
10
By the breath of God, ice is given, and the breadth of the waters is frozen.
-
11
Yes, he loads the thick cloud with moisture. He spreads abroad the cloud of his lightning.
-
12
It is turned around by his guidance, that they may do whatever he commands them on the surface of the habitable world,
-
13
Whether it is for correction, or for his land, or for loving kindness, that he causes it to come.
-
14
"Listen to this, Job. Stand still, and consider the wondrous works of God.
-
15
Do you know how God controls them, and causes the lightning of his cloud to shine?
-
16
Do you know the workings of the clouds, the wondrous works of him who is perfect in knowledge?
-
17
You whose clothing is warm, when the earth is still by reason of the south wind?
-
18
Can you, with him, spread out the sky, which is strong as a cast metal mirror?
-
19
Teach us what we shall tell him, for we can't make our case by reason of darkness.
-
20
Shall it be told him that I would speak? Or should a man wish that he were swallowed up?
-
21
Now men don't see the light which is bright in the skies, but the wind passes, and clears them.
-
22
Out of the north comes golden splendor. With God is awesome majesty.
-
23
We can't reach the Almighty. He is exalted in power. In justice and great righteousness, he will not oppress.
-
24
Therefore men revere him. He doesn't regard any who are wise of heart."
