After it a voice roareth: he thundereth with the voice of his excellency; and he will not stay them when his voice is heard (37:4) God thundereth marvellously with his voice; great things doeth he, which we cannot comprehend (37:5) For he saith to the snow, Be thou [on] the earth; likewise to the small rain, and to the great rain of his strength (37:6) He sealeth up the hand of every man; that all men may know his work (37:7) Then the beasts go into dens, and remain in their places (37:8) Out of the south cometh the whirlwind: and cold out of the north (37:9) By the breath of God frost is given: and the breadth of the waters is straitened (37:10) Also by watering he wearieth the thick cloud: he scattereth his bright cloud: (37:11) And it is turned round about by his counsels: that they may do whatsoever he commandeth them upon the face of the world in the earth (37:12) He causeth it to come, whether for correction, or for his land, or for mercy (37:13) Hearken unto this, O Job: stand still, and consider the wondrous works of God (37:14) Dost thou know when God disposed them, and caused the light of his cloud to shine? (37:15) Dost thou know the balancings of the clouds, the wondrous works of him which is perfect in knowledge? (37:16) How thy garments [are] warm, when he quieteth the earth by the south [wind]? (37:17) Hast thou with him spread out the sky, [which is] strong, [and] as a molten looking glass? (37:18) Teach us what we shall say unto him; [for] we cannot order [our speech] by reason of darkness (37:19) Shall it be told him that I speak? if a man speak, surely he shall be swallowed up (37:20) And now [men] see not the bright light which [is] in the clouds: but the wind passeth, and cleanseth them (37:21) Fair weather cometh out of the north: with God [is] terrible majesty (37:22) [Touching] the Almighty, we cannot find him out: [he is] excellent in power, and in judgment, and in plenty of justice: he will not afflict (37:23) Men do therefore fear him: he respecteth not any [that are] wise of heart
(37:24)
