ACV - Job - 37

37:1  Yea, at this my heart trembles, and is moved out of its place.

37:2  Hear, O, hear the noise of his voice, and the sound that goes out of his mouth.

37:3  He sends it forth under the whole heaven, and his lightning to the ends of the earth.

37:4  After it a voice roars. He thunders with the voice of his majesty, and he does not restrain the lightnings when his voice is heard.

37:5  God thunders marvelously with his voice. He does great things which we cannot comprehend.

37:6  For he says to the snow, Fall thou 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 beasts go into coverts, and remain in their dens.

37:9  Out of the chamber of the south 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 narrowed.

37:11  Yea, he loads the thick cloud with moisture. He spreads abroad the cloud of his lightning,

37:12  and it is turned round about by his guidance, that they may do whatever he commands them upon the face of the habitable world.

37:13  He causes it to come, whether it be for correction, or for his land, or for loving kindness.

37:14  Hearken to this, O Job. Stand still, and consider the wondrous works of God.

37:15  Do thou know how God lays his charge upon them, and causes the lightning of his cloud to shine?

37:16  Do thou know the balancing of the clouds, the wondrous works of him who is perfect in knowledge?

37:17  How thy garments are warm when the earth is still because of the south wind?

37:18  Can thou with him spread out the sky, which is strong as a molten mirror?

37:19  Teach us what we shall say to him. We cannot set in array because 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  And now men do not 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. God has upon him awesome majesty.

37:23  O the Almighty, we cannot find him out. He is excellent in power. And in justice and abundant righteousness he will not afflict.

37:24  Men therefore fear him. He does not regard any who are wise of heart.
