1Indeed, at this my heart trembles, And is moved out of its place.
2Hear, oh, hear the noise of his voice, And the sound that goes out of his mouth.
3He sends it out under the whole heaven, And his lightning to the ends of the earth.
4After it a voice roars; He thunders with the voice of his majesty; And he does not restrain the lightnings when his voice is heard.
5God thunders marvelously with his voice; Great things he does, which we cannot comprehend.
6For he says to the snow, Fall on the earth; Likewise to the shower of rain, And to the showers of his mighty rain.
7He seals up the hand of every man, That all men whom he has made may know it.
8Then the beasts go into hiding places, And remain in their dens.
9Out of the chamber of the south comes the storm, And cold out of the north.
10By the breath of God ice is given; And the breadth of the waters is narrowed.
11Indeed, he loads the thick cloud with moisture; He spreads abroad the cloud of his lightning:
12And it is turned all around by his guidance, That they may do whatever he commands them On the face of the habitable world,
13Whether it is for correction, or for his land, Or for lovingkindness, that he causes it to come.
14Listen to this, O Job: Stand still, and consider the wondrous works of God.
15Do you know how God lays his charge on them, And causes the lightning of his cloud to shine?
16Do you know the balancings of the clouds, The wondrous works of him who is perfect in knowledge?
17How your garments are warm, When the earth is still by reason of the south wind?
18Can you with him spread out the sky, Which is strong as a cast metal mirror?
19Teach us what we shall say to him; For we cannot set our speech in order by reason of darkness.
20Shall it be told him that I would speak? Or should a man wish that he were swallowed up?
21And now men do not see the light which is bright in the skies; But the wind passes, and clears them.
22Out of the north comes golden splendor: God has on him terrible majesty.
23As for the Almighty, we cannot find him out: He is excellent in power; And in justice and abundant righteousness he will not afflict.
24Men therefore fear him: He does not regard any who are wise of heart.
