# Job 37
<a id="1" name="1"></a>
1. “At this also my heart trembles and leaps out of its place.
<a id="2" name="2"></a>
2. Keep listening to the thunder of his voice and the rumbling that comes from his mouth.
<a id="3" name="3"></a>
3. Under the whole heaven he lets it go, and his lightning to the corners of the earth.
<a id="4" name="4"></a>
4. After it his voice roars; he thunders with his majestic voice, and he does not restrain the lightnings when his voice is heard.
<a id="5" name="5"></a>
5. God thunders wondrously with his voice; he does great things that we cannot comprehend.
<a id="6" name="6"></a>
6. For to the snow he says, Fall on the earth, likewise to the downpour, his mighty downpour.
<a id="7" name="7"></a>
7. He seals up the hand of every man, that all men whom he made may know it.
<a id="8" name="8"></a>
8. Then the beasts go into their lairs, and remain in their dens.
<a id="9" name="9"></a>
9. From its chamber comes the whirlwind, and cold from the scattering winds.
<a id="10" name="10"></a>
10. By the breath of God ice is given, and the broad waters are frozen fast.
<a id="11" name="11"></a>
11. He loads the thick cloud with moisture; the clouds scatter his lightning.
<a id="12" name="12"></a>
12. They turn around and around by his guidance, to accomplish all that he commands them on the face of the habitable world.
<a id="13" name="13"></a>
13. Whether for correction or for his land or for love, he causes it to happen.
<a id="14" name="14"></a>
14. “Hear this, O Job; stop and consider the wondrous works of God.
<a id="15" name="15"></a>
15. Do you know how God lays his command upon them and causes the lightning of his cloud to shine?
<a id="16" name="16"></a>
16. Do you know the balancings of the clouds, the wondrous works of him who is perfect in knowledge,
<a id="17" name="17"></a>
17. you whose garments are hot when the earth is still because of the south wind?
<a id="18" name="18"></a>
18. Can you, like him, spread out the skies, hard as a cast metal mirror?
<a id="19" name="19"></a>
19. Teach us what we shall say to him; we cannot draw up our case because of darkness.
<a id="20" name="20"></a>
20. Shall it be told him that I would speak? Did a man ever wish that he would be swallowed up?
<a id="21" name="21"></a>
21. “And now no one looks on the light when it is bright in the skies, when the wind has passed and cleared them.
<a id="22" name="22"></a>
22. Out of the north comes golden splendor; God is clothed with awesome majesty.
<a id="23" name="23"></a>
23. The Almighty—we cannot find him; he is great in power; justice and abundant righteousness he will not violate.
<a id="24" name="24"></a>
24. Therefore men fear him; he does not regard any who are wise in their own conceit.”
