Job
Chapter 37
- 1
At this my heart trembleth, and is moved out of its place.
- 2
Hear ye attentively the terror of his voice, and the sound that cometh out of his mouth.
- 3
He beholdeth under all the heavens, and his light is upon the ends of the earth.
- 4
After it a noise shall roar, he shall thunder with the voice of his majesty, and shall not be found out, when his voice shall be heard.
- 5
God shall thunder wonderfully with his voice, he that doth great and unsearchable things.
- 6
He commandeth the snow to go down upon the earth, and the winter rain, and the shower of his strength.
- 7
He sealeth up the hand of all men, that every one may know his works.
- 8
Then the beast shall go into his covert, and shall abide in his den.
- 9
Out of the inner parts shall a tempest come, and cold out of the north.
- 10
When God bloweth there cometh frost, and again the waters are poured out abundantly.
- 11
Corn desireth clouds, and the clouds spread their light:
- 12
Which go round about, whithersoever the will of him that governeth them shall lead them, to whatsoever he shall command them upon the face of the whole earth:
- 13
Whether in one tribe, or in his own land, or in what place soever of his mercy he shall command them to be found.
- 14
Hearken to these things, Job: Stand, and consider the wondrous works of God.
- 15
Dost thou know when God commanded the rains, to shew his light of his clouds?
- 16
Knowest thou the great paths of the clouds, and the perfect knowledges?
- 17
Are not thy garments hot, when the south wind blows upon the earth?
- 18
Thou perhaps hast made the heavens with him, which are most strong, as if they were of molten brass.
- 19
shew us what we may say to him: for we are wrapped up in darkness.
- 20
Who shall tell him the things I speak? even if a man shall speak, he shall be swallowed up.
- 21
But now they see not the light: the air on a sudden shall be thickened into clouds, and the wind shall pass and drive them away.
- 22
Cold cometh out of the north, and to God praise with fear.
- 23
We cannot find him worthily: he is great in strength, and in judgment, and in justice, and he is ineffable.
- 24
Therefore men shall fear him, and all that seem to themselves to be wise, shall not dare to behold him.
