¹ At this also my heart trembles, and is moved out of his place. ² Hear attentively the noise of his voice, and the sound that goes out of his mouth. ³ He directs it under the whole heaven, and his lightning to the ends of the earth. ⁴ After it a voice roars: he thunders with the voice of his excellency and he will not stay them when his voice is heard. ⁵ God thunders marvellously with his voice; great things does he, which we cannot comprehend. ⁶ For he says to the snow, Be you on the earth; likewise to the small rain, and to the great rain of his strength. ⁷ He seals 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 comes the whirlwind: and cold out of the north. ¹⁰ By the breath of God frost is given: and the breadth of the waters is straightened. ¹¹ Also by watering he wearies the thick cloud: he scatters his bright cloud ¹² And it is turned round about by his counsels: that they may do anything he commands them on the face of the world in the earth. ¹³ He causes it to come, whether for correction, or for his land, or for mercy. ¹⁴ Listen to this, O Job: stand still, and consider the wondrous works of God. ¹⁵ Do you know when God disposed them, and caused the light of his cloud to shine? ¹⁶ Do you know the balancings of the clouds, the wondrous works of him which is perfect in knowledge? ¹⁷ How your garments are warm, when he quiets the earth by the south [wind]? ¹⁸ have you with him spread out the sky, which is strong, and as a molten looking glass? ¹⁹ Teach us what we will say to him for we cannot order our speech by reason of darkness. ²⁰ will it be told him that I speak ? if a man speak, surely he will be swallowed up. ²¹ And now men see not the bright light which is in the clouds: but the wind passes, and cleans them. ²² Fair weather comes 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 respects not any that are wise of heart.
