Job 37

1“At this my heart also pounds and leaps from its place.2Listen closely to the thunder of His voice and the rumbling that comes from His mouth.3He unleashes His lightning beneath the whole sky and sends it to the ends of the earth.4Then there comes a roaring sound; He thunders with His majestic voice. He does not restrain the lightning when His voice resounds.5God thunders wondrously with His voice; He does great things we cannot comprehend.6For He says to the snow, ‘Fall on the earth,’ and to the gentle rain, ‘Pour out a mighty downpour.’7He seals up the hand of every man, so that all men may know His work.8The wild animals enter their lairs; they settle down in their dens.9The tempest comes from its chamber, and the cold from the driving north winds.10By the breath of God the ice is formed and the watery expanses are frozen.11He loads the clouds with moisture; He scatters His lightning through them.12They swirl about, whirling at His direction, accomplishing all that He commands over the face of all the earth.13Whether for punishment or for His land, He accomplishes this in His loving devotion.
