Job 37:5–7

5 God’s voice thunders in marvelous ways;

he does great things beyond our understanding.

6 He says to the snow, ‘Fall on the earth,’

and to the rain shower, ‘Be a mighty downpour.’

7 So that everyone he has made may know his work,

he stops all people from their labor.

5 God thunders wondrously with his voice;

he does great things that we cannot comprehend.

6 For to the snow he says, ‘Fall on the earth,’

likewise to the downpour, his mighty downpour.

7 He seals up the hand of every man,

that all men whom he made may know it.

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.

5 God’s voice is glorious in the thunder.

We can’t even imagine the greatness of his power.

6 “He directs the snow to fall on the earth

and tells the rain to pour down.

7 Then everyone stops working

so they can watch his power.

5 God thunders marvelously with His voice;

He does great things which we cannot comprehend.

6 For He says to the snow, ‘Fall on the earth’;

Likewise to the gentle rain and the heavy rain of His strength.

7 He seals the hand of every man,

That all men may know His work.

5 God’s voice thunders in wonderful ways;

he does great things we cannot understand.

6 He says to the snow, ‘Fall on the earth,’

and to the shower, ‘Be a heavy rain.’

7 With it, he stops everyone from working

so everyone knows it is the work of God.

5 God thundereth marvellously with his voice;

Great things doeth he, which we cannot comprehend.

6 For he saith to the snow, Fall thou on the earth;

Likewise to the shower of rain,

And to the showers of his mighty rain.

7 He sealeth up the hand of every man,

That all men whom he hath made may know it.

5 •God thundereth marvellously with his voice, doing great things which we do not comprehend.

6 For he saith to the snow, Fall on the earth! and to the pouring rain, even the pouring rains of his might. 7 He sealeth up the hand of every man; that all men may know his work.

5 God’s voice thunders in miraculous ways. 

It does great things that we cannot understand. 

6 “He says to the snow, ‘Fall to the ground,’ 

and to the pouring rain, ‘Rain harder!’ 

7 He makes it impossible to do anything

so that people will recognize his work. 

5 God thunders marvelously with His voice;

He does great things that we cannot comprehend.

and the torrential rains, His mighty torrential rains,

7 serve as His sign to all mankind,

so that all men may know His work.

so that all whom he has made may know it.

5 “God thunders with his voice in marvelous ways;

so that everyone whom he has made may know it.
