AB - Job - 37

37:1  At this also my heart is troubled, and moved out of its place.

37:2  Hear a report by the anger of the Lord's wrath, and a discourse shall come out of His mouth.

37:3  His dominion is under the whole heaven, and His light is at the extremities of the earth.

37:4  After Him shall be a cry with a loud voice; He shall thunder with the voice of His excellency, yet He shall not cause men to pass away, for one shall hear His voice.

37:5  The Mighty One shall thunder wonderfully with His voice: for He has done great things which we knew not;

37:6  for He says to the snow, Fall on the earth, and the stormy rain, and the storm of the showers of His might.

37:7  He seals up the hand of every man, that every man may know his own weakness.

37:8  And the wild beasts come in under the covert, and rest in their lair.

37:9  Troubles come on out of the secret chambers, and cold from the mountain tops.

37:10  And from the breath of the Mighty One He will send frost; and He guides the water in whatever way He pleases.

37:11  And if a cloud obscures what is precious to Him, His light will disperse the cloud.

37:12  And He will carry round the encircling clouds by His governance, to perform their works: whatsoever He shall command them,

37:13  this has been appointed by Him on the earth, whether for correction, or for His land, or if He shall find him an object for mercy.

37:14  Listen to this, O Job: stand still, and be admonished of the power of the Lord.

37:15  We know that God has disposed His works, having made light out of darkness.

37:16  And He knows the divisions of the clouds, and the signal overthrows of the ungodly.

37:17  But your robe is warm, and there is quiet upon the land.

37:18  Will you establish with Him foundations for the ancient heavens? They are as strong as a cast iron mirror.

37:19  Therefore teach me what shall we say to Him? And let us cease from saying much.

37:20  Have I a book or a scribe by me, that I may stand and put man to silence?

37:21  But the light is not visible to all: it shines afar off in the heavens, as that which is from Him in the clouds.

37:22  From the north come the clouds shining like gold: in these are the glory and honor of the Almighty;

37:23  and we do not find another His equal in strength: as for Him that judges justly, do you not think that He listens?

37:24  Therefore men shall fear Him, and the wise also in heart shall fear Him.
