| 37 | Job | Reference | |
|---|---|---|---|
| "At this also my heart trembles, and leaps out of its place. | |||
| Hearken to the thunder of his voice and the rumbling that comes from his mouth. | |||
| Under the whole heaven he lets it go, and his lightning to the corners of the earth. | |||
| After it his voice roars; he thunders with his majestic voice and he does not restrain the lightnings when his voice is heard. | |||
| God thunders wondrously with his voice; he does great things which we cannot comprehend. | |||
| For to the snow he says, 'Fall on the earth'; and to the shower and the rain, 'Be strong.' | |||
| He seals up the hand of every man, that all men may know his work. | |||
| Then the beasts go into their lairs, and remain in their dens. | |||
| From its chamber comes the whirlwind, and cold from the scattering winds. | |||
| By the breath of God ice is given, and the broad waters are frozen fast. | |||
| He loads the thick cloud with moisture; the clouds scatter his lightning. | |||
| They turn round and round by his guidance, to accomplish all that he commands them on the face of the habitable world. | |||
| Whether for correction, or for his land, or for love, he causes it to happen. | |||
| "Hear this, O Job; stop and consider the wondrous works of God. | |||
| Do you know how God lays his command upon them, and causes the lightning of his cloud to shine? | |||
| Do you know the balancings of the clouds, the wondrous works of him who is perfect in knowledge, | |||
| you whose garments are hot when the earth is still because of the south wind? | |||
| Can you, like him, spread out the skies, hard as a molten mirror? | |||
| Teach us what we shall say to him; we cannot draw up our case because of darkness. | |||
| Shall it be told him that I would speak? Did a man ever wish that he would be swallowed up? | |||
| "And now men cannot look on the light when it is bright in the skies, when the wind has passed and cleared them. | |||
| Out of the north comes golden splendor; God is clothed with terrible majesty. | |||
| The Almighty - we cannot find him; he is great in power and justice, and abundant righteousness he will not violate. | |||
| Therefore men fear him; he does not regard any who are wise in their own conceit." | |||
