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