In other versions

ESVEnglish Standard Version

Do you know the balancings of the clouds,

the wondrous works of him who is perfect in knowledge,

you whose garments are hot

when the earth is still because of the south wind?

Can you, like him, spread out the skies,

hard as a cast metal mirror?

NIVNew International Version (2011)

Do you know how the clouds hang poised,

those wonders of him who has perfect knowledge?

You who swelter in your clothes

when the land lies hushed under the south wind,

can you join him in spreading out the skies,

hard as a mirror of cast bronze?

CSBChristian Standard Bible

Do you understand how the clouds float,

those wonderful works of him who has perfect knowledge?

You whose clothes get hot

when the south wind brings calm to the land,

can you help God spread out the skies

as hard as a cast metal mirror?

NLTNew Living Translation

Do you understand how he moves the clouds

with wonderful perfection and skill?

When you are sweltering in your clothes

and the south wind dies down and everything is still,

he makes the skies reflect the heat like a bronze mirror.

Can you do that?

KJV 1900King James Version

Dost thou know the balancings of the clouds,

The wondrous works of him which is perfect in knowledge?

How thy garments are warm,

When he quieteth the earth by the south wind?

Hast thou with him spread out the sky,

Which is strong, and as a molten looking glass?
