Job 37

1 [“] Indeed at this my heart trembles, and it leaps from its place.

2 Listen closely to the quaking of His voice, and the rumbling from His mouth [that] comes forth.

3 Beneath all the heaven He unleashes it, and His lightning [is] over the edges of the earth.

4 After it, a voice roars; He thunders with the voice of His majesty, and He does not restrain them when His voice is heard.

5 God thunders with His voice wondrously; He does great [things] that we cannot know.

6 For to the snow He says, ‘Fall [on] the earth,’ and to the shower of rain, and to the shower, ‘[Be] the rains of His might.’

7 He seals up the hand of every man, for the knowing of His work [by] all men.

8 And the beast comes into [its] lair, and in its dens it shall dwell.

9 From [its] chamber the whirlwind comes, and the cold from the scattering winds.

10 From the breath of God, ice is given, and the breadth of the waters [is] in constraint.

11 Also with moisture He loads the thick cloud; His lightning scatters the cloud.

12 And it turns around, being turned [about] by His guidance, to do all of what He commands them above the face of the habitation of the earth.

13 If for the rod, if for His land, if in His loving devotion, He makes it find it.

14 Give ear to this, O Job; stand and consider the wonders of God.

15 Do you know [how] God does place upon them, and [how] He causes the light of His cloud to shine?

16 Do you know about the balancing of the cloud, the wonders of the One perfect in knowledge,

17 [you] whose garments [are] hot in the quieting of the earth from the south?

18 Have you beaten the skies with him, strong as a mirror of cast metal?

19 Make us know what we should say to Him; we cannot arrange from the face of the darkness.

20 Should it be told to Him that I would speak, If a man spoke that he would be swallowed up?

21 And now they cannot look at the light; it [is] bright in the clouds when the wind has passed over and cleansed them.

22 Gold comes from the north; upon God [is] a fearsome majesty.

23 Shaddai—we cannot find Him out! [He is] great [in] power and judgment, and abundant [in] righteousness, He does not oppress.

24 Therefore men fear Him; He does not regard any of the wise of heart.”
