24  “Remember to wextol his work,

of which men have xsung.

25  All mankind has looked on it;

man beholds it from afar.

26  Behold, God is great, and we yknow him not;

the number of his zyears is unsearchable.

27  For he draws up the drops of water;

they distill his amist in brain,

28  which cthe skies pour down

and drop on mankind abundantly.

29  Can anyone understand dthe spreading of the clouds,

the thunderings of his epavilion?

30  Behold, he scatters his lightning about him

and covers the roots of the sea.

31  For by these he fjudges peoples;

he gives gfood in abundance.

32  He covers his hhands with the lightning

and commands it to strike the mark.

33  Its crashing declares his presence;1

the cattle also declare that he rises.

Elihu Proclaims God’s Majesty

37 “At this also my heart trembles

and leaps out of its place.

2  Keep listening to the thunder of his voice

and the rumbling that comes from his mouth.

3  Under the whole heaven he lets it go,

and his ilightning to the jcorners of the earth.

4  After it khis voice roars;

lhe thunders with his majestic voice,

and he does not restrain the lightnings1 when his voice is heard.

5  God thunders wondrously with his voice;

he does mgreat things that we cannot ncomprehend.

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

likewise to the downpour, his mighty downpour.

7  He pseals up the hand of every man,

that all men whom he made may qknow it.

8  Then the beasts go into their rlairs,

and remain in their sdens.

9  From tits chamber ucomes the whirlwind,

and vcold from the scattering winds.

10  By the breath of God wice is given,

and xthe broad waters are frozen fast.

11  He loads the thick cloud with moisture;

the clouds scatter his lightning.

12  They yturn around and around by his zguidance,

zto accomplish all that he commands them

on the face of athe habitable world.

13  Whether for bcorrection or for his cland

or for dlove, he causes it to happen.
