Job

Chapter 37

37:1

¶ At this also my heart trembleth, and is moved out of his place.

37:2

Hear attentively the noise of his voice, and the sound that goeth out of his mouth.

37:3

He directeth it under the whole heaven, and his lightning unto the ends of the earth.

37:4

After it a voice roareth: he thundereth with the voice of his excellency; and he will not stay them when his voice is heard.

37:5

God thundereth marvellously with his voice; great things doeth he, which we cannot comprehend.

37:6

For he saith to the snow, Be thou on the earth; likewise to the small rain, and to the great rain of his strength.

37:7

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

37:8

Then the beasts go into dens, and remain in their places.

37:9

Out of the south cometh the whirlwind: and cold out of the north.

37:10

By the breath of God frost is given: and the breadth of the waters is straitened.

37:11

Also by watering he wearieth the thick cloud: he scattereth his bright cloud:

37:12

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.

37:13

He causeth it to come, whether for correction, or for his land, or for mercy.

37:14

Hearken unto this, O Job: stand still, and consider the wondrous works of God.

37:15

Dost thou know when God disposed them, and caused the light of his cloud to shine?

37:16

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

37:17

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

37:18

Hast thou with him spread out the sky, which is strong, and as a molten looking glass?

37:19

Teach us what we shall say unto him; for we cannot order our speech by reason of darkness.

37:20

Shall it be told him that I speak? if a man speak, surely he shall be swallowed up.

37:21

And now men see not the bright light which is in the clouds: but the wind passeth, and cleanseth them.

37:22

Fair weather cometh out of the north: with God is terrible majesty.

37:23

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.

37:24

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