|
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 1sky, 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. |
