“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.” (Job 37:1-24 AV)
