| 1: At this also my heart trembleth, and is moved out of his
place. |
| |
| 2: Hear attentively the noise of his voice, and the sound that
goeth out of his mouth. |
| |
| 3:
He directeth it under the whole heaven, and his lightning unto
the ends of the earth. |
| |
| 4: After it a voice roareth: he thundereth with the voice of his
excellency; and he will not stay them when his voice is heard. |
| |
| 5: God thundereth marvellously with his voice; great things doeth
he, which we cannot comprehend. |
| |
| 6: For he saith to the snow, Be thou on the earth; likewise to
the small rain, and to the great rain of his strength. |
|
| 7: He sealeth up the hand of every man; that all men may know his
work. |
| |
| 8: Then the beasts go into dens, and remain in their places.
|
| |
| 9: Out of the south cometh the whirlwind: and cold out of the
north. |
| |
| 10: By the breath of God frost is given: and the breadth of the
waters is straitened. |
| |
| 11: Also by watering he wearieth the thick cloud: he scattereth
his bright cloud: |
| |
| 12: And it is turned round about by his counsels: that they may
do whatsoever he commandeth them upon the face of the world in the
earth. |
| |
| 13: He causeth it to come, whether for correction, or for his
land, or for mercy. |
| |
| 14: Hearken unto this, O Job: stand still, and consider the
wondrous works of God. |
| |
| 15: Dost thou know when God disposed them, and caused the light
of his cloud to shine? |
| |
| 16: Dost thou know the balancings of the clouds, the wondrous
works of him which is perfect in knowledge? |
| |
| 17: How thy garments are warm, when he quieteth the earth by the
south wind? |
| |
| 18: Hast thou with him spread out the sky, which is strong, and
as a molten looking glass? |
| |
| 19: Teach us what we shall say unto him; for we cannot order our
speech by reason of darkness. |
| |
| 20: Shall it be told him that I speak? if a man speak, surely he
shall be swallowed up. |
| |
| 21: And now men see not the bright light which is in the clouds:
but the wind passeth, and cleanseth them. |
| |
| 22: Fair weather cometh out of the north: with God is terrible
majesty. |
| |
| 23: Touching the Almighty, we cannot find him out: he is
excellent in power, and in judgment, and in plenty of justice: he will
not afflict. |
| |
| 24: Men do therefore fear him: he respecteth not any that are
wise of heart. |
