Job 37

37At 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.

³He directeth it under the whole heaven,

And his ^†lightning unto the ^†ends of the earth.

⁴After it a voice roareth:

He ^athundereth with the voice of his excellency;

And he will not stay them when his voice is heard.

⁵God thundereth ^bmarvellously with his voice;

^cGreat things doeth he, which ^dwe cannot comprehend.

⁶For he saith to ^ethe snow, Be thou on the earth;

^†Likewise to the small rain,

And to the great rain of his strength.

⁷He ^fsealeth up the hand of every man;

That all men may know his work.

⁸Then the beasts go into ^gdens,

And remain in their ^ghplaces.

^9†Out of the south cometh ⁱthe whirlwind:

And ^ecold out of the ^†north.

¹⁰By the breath of God ^kfrost is given:

And ^lthe breadth of the waters is straitened.

¹¹Also by watering he wearieth the thick cloud:

He scattereth ^†his bright cloud:

¹²And it is turned round about by his ^mcounsels:

ⁿThat they may do whatsoever he commandeth them

Upon the face of ^othe world in the earth.

¹³He causeth it to come, whether ^pfor ^†correction,

Or ^qfor his land, or ^rfor mercy.

¹⁴Hearken unto this, O Job:

Stand still, and ^sconsider the wondrous works of God.

¹⁵Dost thou know when God disposed them,

And caused ^tthe light of his cloud to shine?

¹⁶Dost thou know the balancings of the clouds,

The wondrous works of him which is ^uperfect in ^xknowledge?

¹⁷How thy garments are warm,

When he quieteth the earth by ^ythe south wind?

¹⁸Hast thou with him ^zspread out the sky,

Which is strong, and as a ^amolten looking glass?

¹⁹Teach us what we shall say unto him;

For we cannot order ^bour speech ^cby reason of ^ddarkness.

²⁰Shall it be told him that I speak?

If a man speak, surely he shall be ^eswallowed up.

²¹And now men see not the bright ^flight

Which is in the clouds:

But the wind passeth, and cleanseth them.

^22†Fair weather cometh out of the north:

^gWith God is terrible majesty.

²³Touching the Almighty, ^hwe cannot find him out: he is ⁱexcellent in power,

And in ^kjudgment, and in plenty of justice: he will not afflict.

^24lMen do therefore ^mfear him:

He ⁿrespecteth not any that are ^owise of ^pheart.
