At this
also my heart trembleth, and is moved out of his
place.
02 Hear attentively the noise of his voice, and
the sound that goeth out of his mouth.
03 He directeth it under the whole heaven, and
his lightning unto the ends of the earth.
04 After it a voice roareth: he thundereth with
the voice of his excellency; and he will not stay
them when his voice is heard.
05 God thundereth marvellously with his voice;
great things doeth he, which we cannot
comprehend.
06 For he saith to the snow, Be thou on the
earth; likewise to the small rain, and to the
great rain of his strength.
07 He sealeth up the hand of every man; that all
men may know his work.
08 Then the beasts go into dens, and remain in
their places.
09 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.
