Job 37

VIN^{(i) 1} "About this also my heart trembles, and it leaps from its place. ² Listen carefully to the thunder of His voice, and the rumbling that comes out from His mouth. ³ He releases his lightning throughout the sky, to the ends of the earth. ⁴ After it, his voice roars; it thunders with his majestic voice, and he does not restrain it when his voice is heard. ⁵ God thunders marvelously with His voice; He does great things, and we do not understand. ⁶ "He says to the snow: 'Fall on the earth.' He says to the rain: 'Be strong.' ⁷ He sealeth up the hand of all men, that every one may know his works. ⁸ Then the animals take cover, and remain in their dens. ⁹ "The storm wind comes from its chamber and cold from the north wind. ¹⁰ By the breath of God ice is given: and the broad waters are frozen. ¹¹ Yea, He loads the cloud with moisture; He scatters His lightning cloud; ¹² »They swirl about on the face of the inhabited earth. They do whatever God commands. ¹³ Whether he cause it to come as a rod, or for his land, or in mercy. ¹⁴ "Listen to this, O Job, Stand and consider the wonders of God. ¹⁵ Do you know how God controls them, and causes the lightning of his cloud to shine? ¹⁶ Do you know the workings of the clouds, the wondrous works of him who is perfect in knowledge? ¹⁷ "You whose garments are hot, when the land is still because of the south wind? ¹⁸ with him can you spread out the skies, hard as a molten mirror? ¹⁹ Inform us what we should say to Him; We cannot arrange our case because of the darkness. ²⁰ Shall it be told him that I would speak? Or should a man wish that he were swallowed up? ²¹ Now men cannot examine the sunlight As it is ablaze in the skies, When the wind has passed and made them clean, ²² Out of the north comes golden splendor. With God is awesome majesty. ²³ We can't reach Shaddai. He is exalted in power. In justice and great righteousness, he will not oppress. ²⁴ Therefore men revere him. He doesn’t regard any who are wise of heart.”
