Chapter 37

1


 

  Aye, my heart trembleth at this also, and leapeth up out of its place:  

 

 

-

2


 

  Hear attentively the roar of his voice, and the murmur going forth from his mouth.  

 

 

-

3


 

  He sendeth it forth 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 holdeth not back the flashes when his voice is heard.  

 

 

-

5


 

  łGod thundereth marvellously with his voice, doing great things which we do not comprehend.  

 

 

-

6


 

  For he saith to the snow, Fall on the earth! and to the pouring rain, even the pouring rains of his might.  

 

 

-

7


 

  He sealeth up the hand of every man; that all men may know his work.  

 

 

-

8


 

  And the wild beast goeth into its lair, and they remain in their dens.  

 

 

-

9


 

  From the chamber [of the south] cometh the whirlwind; and cold from the winds of the north.  

 

 

-

10


 

  By the breath of łGod ice is given; and the breadth of the waters is straitened.  

 

 

-

11


 

  Also with plentiful moisture he loadeth the thick clouds, his light dispels the cloud;  

 

 

-

12


 

  And they are turned every way by his guidance, that they may do whatsoever he commandeth them upon the face of the circuit of the earth,  

 

 

-

13


 

  Whether he cause it to come as a rod, or for his land, or in mercy.  

 

 

-

14


 

  Hearken unto this, Job; stand still and discern the wondrous works of łGod.  

 

 

-

15


 

  Dost thou know how +God hath disposed them, and how he causeth the lightning of his cloud to flash?  

 

 

-

16


 

  Dost thou know about the balancings of the clouds, the wondrous works of him that is perfect in knowledge?  

 

 

-

17


 

  How thy garments become warm when he quieteth the earth by the south wind?  

 

 

-

18


 

  Hast thou with him spread out the sky, firm, like a molten mirror?  

 

 

-

19


 

  Teach us what we shall say unto him! We cannot order [our words] by reason of darkness.  

 

 

-

20


 

  Shall it be told him if I would speak? if a man [so] say, surely he shall be swallowed up.  

 

 

-

21


 

  And now [men] see not the light as it gleameth, it is [hidden] in the skies. But the wind passeth by and cleareth them.  

 

 

-

22


 

  From the north cometh gold; with +God is terrible majesty.  

 

 

-

23


 

  The Almighty, we cannot find him out: excellent in power, and in judgment, and in abundance of justice, he doth not afflict.  

 

 

-

24


 

  Men do therefore fear him: he respecteth not any that are wise of heart.
