Job 37
|
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 marvelously 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. |
