Elihu Proclaims God’s Majesty

1“At thisH2063 my heartH3820 alsoH637 poundsH2729 and leapsH5425 from its placeH4725.2Listen closelyH8085 to the thunderH7267 of His voiceH6963 and the rumblingH1899 that comesH3318 from His mouthH6310.3He unleashesH8281 His lightningH216 beneathH8478 the wholeH3605 skyH8064 and sends itH5921 to the endsH3671 of the earthH776.4ThenH310 there comes a roaringH7580 soundH6963; He thundersH7481 with His majesticH1347 voiceH6963. He does notH3808 restrainH6117 the lightning whenH3588 His voiceH6963 resoundsH8085.5GodH410 thundersH7481 wondrouslyH6381 with His voiceH6963; He doesH6213 great thingsH1419 we cannotH3808 comprehendH3045.6ForH3588 He saysH559 to the snowH7950, ‘FallH1933 on the earthH776,’ and to the gentle rainH1653H4306, ‘Pour outH1653 a mightyH5797 downpourH4306.’7He seals upH2856 the handH3027 of everyH3605 manH120, so that allH3605 menH582 may knowH3045 His workH4639.8The wild animalsH2416H1119 enterH935 their lairsH695; they settle downH7931 in their densH4585.9The tempestH5492 comesH935 fromH4480 its chamberH2315, and the coldH7135 from the driving north windsH4215.10By the breathH5397 of GodH410 the iceH7140 is formedH5414 and the wateryH4325 expansesH7341 are frozenH4164.11He loadsH2959 the cloudsH5645 with moistureH7377; He scattersH6327 His lightningH216 through themH6051.12TheyH1931 swirl aboutH4524, whirlingH2015 at His directionH8458, accomplishingH6466 allH3605 thatH834 He commandsH6680 overH5921 the faceH6440 of allH8398 the earthH776.13WhetherH518 for punishmentH7626 orH518 for His landH776H518, He accomplishes thisH4672 in His loving devotionH2617.

14ListenH238 to thisH2063, O JobH347;stand stillH5975 and considerH995 the wondersH6381 of GodH410.15Do you knowH3045 how GodH433H5921 dispatchesH7760 the cloudsH6051or makes the lightningH216 flashH3313?16Do you understandH3045 howH5921 the cloudsH5645 floatH4657,those wondersH4652 of Him who is perfectH8549 in knowledgeH1843?17You whoseH834 clothesH899 get hotH2525when the landH776 lies hushedH8252 under the south windH1864,18can you, like HimH5973, spread outH7554 the skiesH7834,as strongH2389 as a mirrorH7209 of bronzeH3332?
19Teach usH3045 whatH4100 we should sayH559 to Him;we cannotH3808 draw up our caseH6186 because ofH6440 our darknessH2822.20Should He be toldH5608 thatH3588 I want to speakH1696H518?Would a manH376 askH559 to be swallowed upH11041?21NowH6258 no oneH3808 can gazeH7200 at the sunH216when itH1931 is brightH925 in the skiesH7834after the windH7307 has swept themH5674 cleanH2891.22Out of the northH6828 He comesH857 in goldenH2091 splendor;awesomeH3372 majestyH1935 surroundsH5921 HimH433.23The AlmightyH7706 is beyondH3808 our reachH4672;He is exaltedH7689 in powerH3581!In His justiceH4941 and greatH7230 righteousnessH6666He does notH3808 oppressH6031.24ThereforeH3651, menH582 fear HimH3372,for He is notH3808 partialH7200 to theH3605 wiseH2450 in heartH3820.”
