Job 37:6–8

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.

8 The animals take cover;

they remain in their dens.

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.

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.

8 The wild animals take cover

and stay inside their dens.

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.

8 The beasts go into dens,

And remain in their lairs.

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.

8 The animals take cover from the rain

and stay in their dens.

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.

8 Then the beasts go into coverts,

And remain in their dens.

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. 8 And the wild beast goeth into its lair, and they remain in their dens.

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. 

8 Animals go into their dens 

and stay in their lairs. 

6 For He says to the snow, “Fall to the earth,”

and the torrential rains, His mighty torrential rains,

7 serve as His sign to all mankind,

so that all men may know His work.

8 The wild animals enter their lairs

and stay in their dens.

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

and the shower of rain, his heavy shower of rain,

7 serves as a sign on everyone’s hand,

so that all whom he has made may know it.

8 Then the animals go into their lairs

and remain in their dens.

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

and the shower of rain, his heavy shower of rain—

7 he stops all human beings from working

so that everyone whom he has made may know it.

8 Then the animal goes into its den,

and it remains in its den.

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

He tells the rain, ‘Pour down your mighty waters.’

7 He stops everyone from working.

He wants them to see his work.

8 The animals go inside.

They remain in their dens.

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

And to the downpour and the rain, ‘Be strong.’

7 “He seals the hand of every man,

That all men may know His work.

8 “Then the beast goes into its lair

And remains in its den.
