1: At this also my heart trembleth, and is moved out of its place. 2: Hear attentively the noise of his voice, and the sound [that] goeth out of his mouth. 3: He directeth it under the whole heaven, and his lightning to the ends of the earth. 4: After it a voice roareth: he thundereth with the voice of his excellence; and he will not stay them when his voice is heard. 5: God thundereth marvelously with his voice; great things he doeth, which we cannot comprehend. 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. 7: He sealeth up the hand of every man; that all men may know his work. 8: Then the beasts go into dens, and remain in their places. 9: From the south cometh the whirlwind: and cold from 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 around by his counsels: that they may do whatever he commandeth them upon the face of the world on the earth. 13: He causeth it to come, whether for correction, or for his land, or for mercy. 14: Hearken to 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 who 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 to him; [for] we cannot order [our speech] by reason of darkness. 20: Shall it be told him that I speak? If a man shall speak, surely he will 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 from 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 abundance of justice: he will not afflict. 24: Men therefore fear him: he respecteth not any [that are] wise of heart.
