Job
Chapter 37

1 - At this also my heart trembleth, and is moved out of his place.

2 - Hear attentively the noise of his voice, and the sound that goeth out of his mouth.

3 - He directeth it under the whole heaven, and his lightning unto the ends of the earth.

4 - After it a voice roareth: he thundereth with the voice of his excellency; and he will not stay them when his voice is heard.

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

6 - For he saith to the snow, Be thou on the earth; likewise to the small rain, and to the great rain of his strength.

7 - He sealeth up the hand of every man; that all men may know his work.

8 - Then the beasts go into dens, and remain in their places.

9 - Out of the south cometh the whirlwind: and cold out of the north.

10 - By the breath of God frost is given: and the breadth of the waters is straitened.

11 - Also by watering he wearieth the thick cloud: he scattereth his bright cloud:

12 - And it is turned round about by his counsels: that they may do whatsoever he commandeth them upon the face of the world in the earth.

13 - He causeth it to come, whether for correction, or for his land, or for mercy.

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

15 - Dost thou know when God disposed them, and caused the light of his cloud to shine?

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

17 - How thy garments are warm, when he quieteth the earth by the south wind?

18 - Hast thou with him spread out the sky, which is strong, and as a molten looking glass?

19 - Teach us what we shall say unto him; for we cannot order our speech by reason of darkness.

20 - Shall it be told him that I speak? if a man speak, surely he shall be swallowed up.

21 - And now men see not the bright light which is in the clouds: but the wind passeth, and cleanseth them.

22 - Fair weather cometh out of the north: with God is terrible majesty.

23 - Touching the Almighty, we cannot find him out: he is excellent in power, and in judgment, and in plenty of justice: he will not afflict.

24 - Men do therefore fear him: he respecteth not any that are wise of heart.
