Job 37

¹“At this my heart also pounds

²Listen closely to the thunder of His voice

³He unleashes His lightning beneath the whole sky

⁴Then there comes a roaring sound;

⁵God thunders wondrously with His voice;

⁶For He says to the snow, ‘Fall on the earth,’

⁷He seals up the hand of every man,

⁸The wild animals enter their lairs;

⁹The tempest comes from its chamber,

¹⁰By the breath of God the ice is formed

¹¹He loads the clouds with moisture;

¹²They swirl about,

¹³Whether for punishment or for His land,

¹⁴Listen to this, O Job;

¹⁵Do you know how God dispatches the clouds

¹⁶Do you understand how the clouds float,

¹⁷You whose clothes get hot

¹⁸can you, like Him, spread out the skies

¹⁹Teach us what we should say to Him;

²⁰Should He be told that I want to speak?

²¹Now no one can gaze at the sun

²²Out of the north He comes in golden splendor;

²³The Almighty is beyond our reach;

²⁴Therefore, men fear Him,
