Job 37

1Yea, at this my heart trembleth, And is moved out of its place.

2Hear, oh, hear the noise of his voice, sound that goeth out of his mouth.

3He sendeth it forth under the whole heaven, lightning unto the __a__FOOTNOTE__a__ Job 37:3 Hebrew skirts. __b__FOOTNOTE__b__ ends of the earth.

4After it a voice roareth; He thundereth with the voice of his majesty; the lightnings when his voice is heard.

5God thundereth marvellously with his voice; Great things doeth he, which we cannot comprehend.

6For he saith to the snow, Fall thou on the earth; Likewise to the shower of rain, And to the showers of his mighty rain.

7He sealeth up the hand of every man, it .

8Then the beasts go into coverts, And remain in their dens.

9Out of the chamber of the south cometh the storm, north.

10By the breath of God ice is given; straitened.

11Yea, he ladeth the thick cloud with moisture; lightning:

12And it is turned round about by his guidance, That they may do whatsoever he commandeth them Upon the face of the habitable world,

13Whether it be for correction, or for his land, Or for lovingkindness, that he cause it to come.

14Hearken unto this, O Job: Stand still, and consider the wondrous works of God.

15Dost thou know how God layeth his charge upon them, lightning of his cloud to shine?

16Dost thou know the balancings of the clouds, The wondrous works of him who is perfect in knowledge?

17__a__FOOTNOTE__a__ Job 37:17 Or, Thou whose garments are etc. __b__FOOTNOTE__b__ How thy garments are warm, __a__FOOTNOTE__a__ Job 37:17 Or, When he quieteth the earth by the south wind __b__FOOTNOTE__b__ When the earth is still by reason of the south wind ?

18Canst thou with him spread out the sky, Which is strong as a molten mirror?

19Teach us what we shall say unto him; For we cannot set our speech in order by reason of darkness.

20Shall it be told him that I would speak? Or should a man wish that he were swallowed up?

21And now men see not the light which is bright in the skies; But the wind passeth, and cleareth them.

22Out of the north cometh golden splendor: God hath upon him terrible majesty.

23Touching the Almighty, we cannot find him out: He is excellent in power; in justice and plenteous righteousness he will not afflict.

24Men do therefore fear him: He regardeth not any that are wise of heart.
