Geneva1599 - Job - 37

37:1  At this also mine heart is astonied, and is mooued out of his place.

37:2  Heare the sound of his voyce, and the noyse that goeth out of his mouth.

37:3  He directeth it vnder the whole heauen, and his light vnto the endes of the world.

37:4  After it a noyse soundeth: hee thundereth with the voyce of his maiestie, and hee will not stay them when his voyce is heard.

37:5  God thundereth marueilously with his voyce: he worketh great things, which we know not.

37:6  For he sayth to the snowe, Be thou vpon the earth: likewise to the small rayne and to the great rayne of his power.

37:7  With the force thereof he shutteth vp euery man, that all men may knowe his worke.

37:8  Then the beastes go into the denne, and remaine in their places.

37:9  The whirlewind commeth out of the South, and the colde from the North winde.

37:10  At the breath of God the frost is giuen, and the breadth of the waters is made narrowe.

37:11  He maketh also the cloudes to labour, to water the earth, and scattereth the cloude of his light.

37:12  And it is turned about by his gouernment, that they may doe whatsoeuer he commandeth them vpon the whole worlde:

37:13  Whether it be for punishment, or for his lande, or of mercie, he causeth it to come.

37:14  Hearken vnto this, O Iob: stand and consider the wonderous workes of God.

37:15  Diddest thou knowe when God disposed them? and caused the light of his cloud to shine?

37:16  Hast thou knowen the varietie of the cloude, and the wonderous workes of him, that is perfite in knowledge?

37:17  Or howe thy clothes are warme, when he maketh the earth quiet through the South winde?

37:18  Hast thou stretched out the heaues, which are strong, and as a molten glasse?

37:19  Tell vs what we shall say vnto him: for we can not dispose our matter because of darknes.

37:20  Shall it be told him when I speake? or shall man speake when he shalbe destroyed?

37:21  And nowe men see not the light, which shineth in the cloudes, but the winde passeth and clenseth them.

37:22  The brightnesse commeth out of the North: the praise thereof is to God, which is terrible.

37:23  It is the Almightie: we can not finde him out: he is excellent in power and iudgement, and aboundant in iustice: he afflicteth not.

37:24  Let men therefore feare him: for he will not regarde any that are wise in their owne conceit.
