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. |
