1 At 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.
3 He directeth it under the whole heaven, and his lightning
unto the ends of the earth.
4 After it a voice roareth: he thundereth with the voice of
his excellency; and he will not stay them when his voice is heard.
5 God thundereth marvellously with his voice; great things
doeth he, which we cannot comprehend.
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.
9 Out of the south cometh the whirlwind: and cold out of the
north.
10 By the breath of God frost is given: and the breadth of the
waters is straitened.
11 Also by watering he wearieth the thick cloud: he scattereth
his bright cloud:
12 And it is turned round about by his counsels: that they may
do whatsoever he commandeth them upon the face of the world in the earth.
13 He causeth it to come, whether for correction, or for his
land, or for mercy.
14 Hearken unto this, O Job: stand still, and consider the
wondrous works of God.
15 Dost thou know when God disposed them, and caused the light
of his cloud to shine?
16 Dost thou know the balancings of the clouds, the wondrous
works of him which is perfect in knowledge?
17 How thy garments are warm, when he quieteth the earth by
the south wind?
18 Hast thou with him spread out the sky, which is strong, and as a
molten looking glass?
19 Teach us what we shall say unto him; for we
cannot order our speech by
reason of darkness.
20 Shall it be told him that I speak? if a man speak, surely he
shall be swallowed up.
21 And now men see not the bright light which is in the
clouds: but the wind passeth, and cleanseth them.
22 Fair weather cometh out of the north: with God is terrible
majesty.
23 Touching the Almighty, we cannot find him out: he is excellent
in power, and in judgment, and in plenty of justice: he will not afflict.
24 Men do therefore fear him: he respecteth not any that are wise
of heart.
