Job

Chapter 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 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 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.
