Job 37

1 “Also, my heart trembles at this, || And it moves from its place. 2 Listen diligently to the trembling of His voice, || Indeed, the sound goes out from His mouth. 3 He directs it under the whole heavens, || And its light is over the skirts of the earth. 4 A voice roars after it—He thunders with the voice of His excellence, || And He does not hold them back, || When His voice is heard. 5 God thunders with His voice wonderfully, || Doing great things and we do not know. 6 For He says to snow: Be on the earth. And the small rain and great rain of His power. 7 Into the hand of every man he seals, || For the knowledge by all men of His work. 8 And the beast enters into its lair, || And it continues in its habitations. 9 From the inner chamber comes a windstorm, || And from scatterings winds—cold, 10 From the breath of God is frost given, || And the breadth of waters is constricted, 11 Indeed, by filling He presses out a cloud, and His light scatters a cloud. 12 And it is turning itself around by His counsels, || For their doing all He commands them, || On the face of the habitable earth. 13 Whether for a rod, or for His land, || Or for kindness—He causes it to come. 14 Hear this, O Job, || Stand and consider the wonders of God. 15 Do you know when God places them, || And caused the light of His cloud to shine? 16 Do you know the balancings of a cloud? The wonders of the Perfect in knowledge? 17 How your garments are warm, || In the quieting of the earth from the south? 18 You have made an expanse with Him || For the clouds—strong as a hard mirror! 19 Let us know what we say to Him, || We do not set in array because of darkness. 20 Is it declared to Him that I speak? If a man has spoken, surely he is swallowed up. 21 And now, they have not seen the light, || It is bright in the clouds, || And the wind has passed by and cleanses them. 22 It comes from the golden north, || Fearful splendor is beside God. 23 The Mighty! We have not found Him out, || High in power and judgment, || He does not answer! And abundant in righteousness, 24 Therefore men fear Him, || He does not see any of the wise of heart.”
