AFV2020 - Job - 37

37:1  "My heart trembles at this also, and it leaps out of its place.

37:2  Listen carefully to the thunder of His voice, and the rumbling that comes out of His mouth.

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

37:4  After it a sound roars; He thunders with the voice of His majesty, and He will not hold them back 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 on the earth;' also to the shower of rain, and to the showers of His mighty rain.

37:7  He seals up the hand of every man, so that all men may know His work.

37:8  Then the beast goes into its lair, and remains in its dens.

37:9  Out of the south comes the whirlwind: and cold out of the north.

37:10  By the breath of God ice is given; and the expanse of waters is frozen tight.

37:11  Also He loads the clouds with moisture; He spreads abroad the clouds of His lightning.

37:12  And they are turned around by His guidance, so that they may do whatever He commands them upon the face of the whole earth.

37:13  Whether for correction, or for His land, or for mercy, He causes it to come.

37:14  Hearken to this, O Job; stand still, and consider the wonderful works of God.

37:15  Do you know how God directs them, and causes the lightning of His cloud to shine?

37:16  Do you know the balancing of the clouds, the wonderful works of Him who is perfect in knowledge?

37:17  You whose clothes are warm when the earth is still by the south wind?

37:18  Have you spread out the expanse of the sky with Him, which is strong as a molten mirror?

37:19  Teach us what we shall say to Him; for because of darkness we cannot order our speech.

37:20  Shall it be told Him that I speak? If a man speaks, surely he shall be swallowed up.

37:21  And now men cannot see the bright light in the skies, covered by the clouds; but the wind blows and clears them away.

37:22  As golden splendor comes out of the north, God is awesome in His majesty.

37:23  As for the Almighty, we cannot find Him out; He is exalted in power; and He does no violence to justice and abundant righteousness.

37:24  Therefore, men fear Him; He does not show partiality to any who are wise of heart."
