1: "Yes, at this my heart trembles, And is moved out of its place. 2: Hear, oh, hear the noise of his voice, The sound that goes out of his mouth. 3: He sends it forth under the whole sky, And his lightning to the ends of the earth. 4: After it a voice roars. He thunders with the voice of his majesty; He doesn't hold back anything when his voice is heard. 5: God thunders marvelously with his voice. He does great things, which we can't comprehend. 6: For he says to the snow, 'Fall on the earth;' Likewise to the shower of rain, And to the showers of his mighty rain. 7: He seals up the hand of every man, That all men whom he has made may know it. 8: Then the animals go into coverts, And remain in their dens. 9: Out of its chamber comes the storm, And cold out of the north. 10: By the breath of God, ice is given, And the breadth of the waters is frozen. 11: Yes, he loads the thick cloud with moisture. He spreads abroad the cloud of his lightning. 12: It is turned round about by his guidance, That they may do whatever he commands them On the surface of the habitable world, 13: Whether it is for correction, or for his land, Or for lovingkindness, that he causes it to come. 14: "Listen to this, Job: Stand still, and consider the wondrous works of God. 15: Do you know how God controls them, And causes the lightning of his cloud to shine? 16: Do you know the workings of the clouds, The wondrous works of him who is perfect in knowledge? 17: You whose clothing is warm, When the earth is still by reason of the south wind? 18: Can you, with him, spread out the sky, Which is strong as a cast metal mirror? 19: Teach us what we shall tell him; For we can't make our case by reason of darkness. 20: Shall it be told him that I would speak? Or should a man wish that he were swallowed up? 21: Now men don't see the light which is bright in the skies, But the wind passes, and clears them. 22: Out of the north comes golden splendor; With God is awesome majesty. 23: We can't reach the Almighty, He is exalted in power; In justice and great righteousness he will not oppress. 24: Therefore men revere him. He doesn't regard any who are wise of heart."
