1“My heart pounds [DOU] when I think about that.
2Listen, all of you, to the thunder,
3He causes thunder to be heard all across the sky,
4After the lightning flashes, we hear the thunder
5When God speaks, it is awesome, like thunder;
6He commands the snow to fall on the ground,
7And when God does that, it prevents people [SYN] from working,
8When it rains, animals go into their hiding places,
9The storms/hurricanes come from the place in the south where they start,
10In the ◄winter/cold season►, the cold north wind is like God’s breath that causes [MET] water to freeze;
11God fills the clouds with moisture/hail,
12He guides the clouds and causes them to move back and forth
13Sometimes God sends rain to punish us,
14“Job, listen to this;
15◄Do you know how God commands the lightning to flash down from the clouds?/We do not know how God commands the lightning to flash down from the clouds.► [RHQ]
16Only God knows everything perfectly;
17No, you just sweat there in your clothes;
18◄Can you stretch out the skies like God does and make them as hard as [SIM] a sheet of polished brass?/You certainly cannot stretch out the skies like God does and make them as hard as [SIM] a sheet of polished brass!► [RHQ]
19“Job, tell us(exc) what we should say to God;
20Should I tell God that I want to speak to him?
21Now, people cannot look directly at the sun
22God comes out of the north with a light that shines like gold;
23Almighty God is very powerful,
24That is the reason that we have an awesome respect for him;
