Job

37:1: "Yes, at this my heart trembles, And is moved out of its place.
37:2: Hear, oh, hear the noise of his voice, The sound that goes out of his mouth.
37:3: He sends it forth under the whole sky, And his lightning to the ends of the earth.
37:4: After it a voice roars. He thunders with the voice of his majesty; He doesn't hold back anything when his voice is heard.
37:5: God thunders marvelously with his voice. He does great things, which we can't comprehend.
37:6: For he says to the snow, 'Fall on the earth;' Likewise to the shower of rain, And to the showers of his mighty rain.
37:7: He seals up the hand of every man, That all men whom he has made may know it.
37:8: Then the animals take cover, And remain in their dens.
37:9: Out of its chamber comes the storm, And cold out of the north.
37:10: By the breath of God, ice is given, And the breadth of the waters is frozen.
37:11: Yes, he loads the thick cloud with moisture. He spreads abroad the cloud of his lightning.
37:12: It is turned round about by his guidance, That they may do whatever he commands them On the surface of the habitable world,
37:13: Whether it is for correction, or for his land, Or for loving kindness, that he causes it to come.
37:14: "Listen to this, Job: Stand still, and consider the wondrous works of God.
37:15: Do you know how God controls them, And causes the lightning of his cloud to shine?
37:16: Do you know the workings of the clouds, The wondrous works of him who is perfect in knowledge?
37:17: You whose clothing is warm, When the earth is still by reason of the south wind?
37:18: Can you, with him, spread out the sky, Which is strong as a cast metal mirror?
37:19: Teach us what we shall tell him; For we can't make our case by reason of darkness.
37:20: Shall it be told him that I would speak? Or should a man wish that he were swallowed up?
37:21: Now men don't see the light which is bright in the skies, But the wind passes, and clears them.
37:22: Out of the north comes golden splendor; With God is awesome majesty.
37:23: We can't reach the Almighty, He is exalted in power; In justice and great righteousness he will not oppress.
37:24: Therefore men revere him. He doesn't regard any who are wise of heart."
