Job 36:31–33

31 This is the way he governs the nations

and provides food in abundance.

32 He fills his hands with lightning

and commands it to strike its mark.

33 His thunder announces the coming storm;

even the cattle make known its approach.

31 For by them judgeth he the people;

He giveth meat in abundance.

32 With clouds he covereth the light;

And commandeth it not to shine by the cloud that cometh betwixt.

33 The noise thereof sheweth concerning it,

The cattle also concerning the vapour.

31 By these mighty acts he nourishes the people,

giving them food in abundance.

32 He fills his hands with lightning bolts

and hurls each at its target.

33 The thunder announces his presence;

the storm announces his indignant anger.

31 For by these He judges the peoples;

He gives food in abundance.

32 He covers His hands with lightning,

And commands it to strike.

33 His thunder declares it,

The cattle also, concerning the rising storm.

31 This is the way God governs the nations;

this is how he gives us enough food.

32 God fills his hands with lightning

and commands it to strike its target.

33 His thunder announces the coming storm,

and even the cattle know it is near.

31 For by these he judgeth the peoples;

He giveth food in abundance.

32 He covereth his hands with the lightning,

And giveth it a charge that it strike the mark.

33 The noise thereof telleth concerning him,

The cattle also concerning the storm that cometh up.

31 For with them he judgeth the peoples; he giveth food in abundance. 32 His hands he covereth with lightning, and commandeth it where it is to strike. 33 His thundering declareth concerning him; the cattle even, concerning its coming.

31 This is how he uses the rains to provide for people 

and to give them more than enough food. 

32 He fills his hands with lightning 

and orders it to hit the target. 

33 The thunder announces his coming. 

The storm announces his angry wrath. 

31 For He judges the nations with these;

He gives food in abundance.

32 He covers His hands with lightning

and commands it to hit its mark.

the cattle also, the approaching storm.

31 For by these he governs peoples;

he gives food in abundance.

32 He covers his hands with the lightning

and commands it to strike the mark.

33 Its crashing tells about him;

he is jealous with anger against iniquity.

31 Indeed, he judges people by them;

he gives food in abundance.

32 He covers his hands with lightning,

and he commands it the place at which to strike.

33 His thundering tells about him;

the livestock also tell concerning what rises.

31 The rain he sends makes things grow for the nations.

He provides them with plenty of food.

32 He holds lightning bolts in his hands.

He commands them to strike their marks.

33 His thunder announces that a storm is coming.

Even the cattle let us know it’s approaching.

31 “For by these He judges peoples;

He gives food in abundance.

32 “He covers His hands with the lightning,

And commands it to strike the mark.

33 “Its noise declares His presence;

The cattle also, concerning what is coming up.
