37:1 'At this also my heart trembles, and leaps out of its place. 37:2 Hearken to the thunder of his voice and the rumbling that comes from his mouth. 37:3 Under the whole heaven he lets it go, and his lightning to the corners of the earth. 37:4 After it his voice roars;he thunders with his majestic voice and he does not restrain the lightnings when his voice is heard. 37:5 God thunders wondrously with his voice;he does great things which we cannot comprehend. 37:6 For to the snow he says, Fall on the earth';and to the shower and the rain, Be strong.' 37:7 He seals up the hand of every man, that all men may know his work. 37:8 Then the beasts go into their lairs, and remain in their dens. 37:9 From its chamber comes the whirlwind, and cold from the scattering winds. 37:10 By the breath of God ice is given, and the broad waters are frozen fast. 37:11 He loads the thick cloud with moisture;the clouds scatter his lightning. 37:12 They turn round and round by his guidance, to accomplish all that he commands them on the face of the habitable world. 37:13 Whether for correction, or for his land, or for love, he causes it to happen. 37:14 'Hear this, O Job;stop and consider the wondrous works of God. 37:15 Do you know how God lays his command upon them, and causes the lightning of his cloud to shine? 37:16 Do you know the balancings of the clouds, the wondrous works of him who is perfect in knowledge, 37:17 you whose garments are hot when the earth is still because of the south wind? 37:18 Can you, like him, spread out the skies, hard as a molten mirror? 37:19 Teach us what we shall say to him;we cannot draw up our case because of darkness. 37:20 Shall it be told him that I would speak? Did a man ever wish that he would be swallowed up? 37:21 'And now men cannot look on the light when it is bright in the skies, when the wind has passed and cleared them. 37:22 Out of the north comes golden splendor;God is clothed with terrible majesty. 37:23 The Almighty -- we cannot find him;he is great in power and justice, and abundant righteousness he will not violate. 37:24 Therefore men fear him;he does not regard any who are wise in their own conceit.'
