| | 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 go into coverts, And remain in their dens.
| |
| | 9 | Out of its chamber 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 round about 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 lovingkindness, 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."
