Job:37
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Yes ,
at this my heart trembles ,
And is moved out of its place .
*
Hear carefully the noise of his voice ,
And the sound that goes out of his mouth .
*
He sends it forth under the whole heaven ,
And his lightning to the ends of the earth .
*
After it a voice roars ;
He thunders with the voice of his majesty ;
And he does not restrain [
the lightnings ]
when his voice is heard .
*
God thunders marvelously with his voice ;
Great things he does ,
which we can '
t comprehend .
*
For he says to the snow ,
Fall on the earth ;
Likewise to the shower of rain ,
And to the showers of his mighty rain .
*
He seals up the hand of all of man ,
That all men whom he has made may know [
it ].
*
Then the beasts go into coverts ,
And stay in their dens .
*
Out of the chamber [
of the south ]
comes the storm ,
And cold out of the north .
*
By the breath of God ice is given ;
And the width of the waters is straitened .
*
Yes ,
he loads the thick cloud with moisture ;
He spreads abroad the cloud of his lightning :
*
And it is turned round about by his guidance ,
That they may do whatever he commands them On the face of the habitable world ,
*
Whether it is for correction ,
or for his land ,
Or for loving-kindness ,
that he causes it to come .
*
Listen to this ,
O Job :
Stand still ,
and consider the wondrous works of God .
*
Do you know how God lays [
his charge ]
on them ,
And causes the lightning of his cloud to shine ?
*
Do you know the balancings of the clouds ,
The wondrous works of him who is perfect in knowledge ?
*
How your garments are warm ,
When the earth is still by reason of the south [
wind ]?
*
Can you with him spread out the sky ,
Which is strong as a molten mirror ?
*
Teach us what we will say to him ; [
For ]
we can '
t set [
our speech ]
in order by reason of darkness .
*
Will it be told to him that I would speak ?
Or should a man wish that he were swallowed up ?
*
And now men don '
t see the light which is bright in the skies ;
But the wind passes ,
and clears them .
*
Out of the north comes golden splendor :
God has on him awesome majesty .
* [
Concerning ]
the Almighty ,
we can '
t find him out He is excellent in power ;
And in justice and plenteous righteousness he will not afflict .
*
Men therefore fear him :
He does not regard any who are wise of heart .
