NHEBJE - Job - 37

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

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

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

37:4  After it a voice roars. He thunders with the voice of his majesty. He doesn't hold back anything when his voice is heard.

37:5  God thunders marvelously with his voice. He does great things, which we can't comprehend.

37:6  For he says to the snow, 'Fall 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 animals take cover, and remain in their dens.

37:9  Out of its chamber 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 frozen.

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

37:12  It is turned around by his guidance, that they may do whatever he commands them on the surface of the habitable world,

37:13  Whether it is for correction, or for his land, or for loving kindness, that he causes it to come.

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

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

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

37:17  You whose clothing is warm, when the earth is still by reason of the south wind?

37:18  Can you, with him, spread out the sky, which is strong as a cast metal mirror?

37:19  Teach us what we shall tell him, for we can't make our case by reason 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  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. With God is awesome majesty.

37:23  We can't reach the Almighty. He is exalted in power. In justice and great righteousness, he will not oppress.

37:24  Therefore men revere him. He doesn't regard any who are wise of heart."
