Job 37:4-24

4AfterH310 it, a voiceH6963 roarsH7580; He thundersH7481 with His majesticH1347 voiceH6963, And He does not restrainH6117 1the lightnings when His voiceH6963 is heardH8085.5GodH410 2thundersH7481 with His voiceH6963 wondrouslyH6381, DoingH6213 3greatH1419 thingsH1419 which we cannotH3808 comprehendH3045.6For to 4the snowH7950 He saysH559, ‘FallH1933 on the earthH776,’ And to the 56downpourH1653H4306 and the rainH1653H4306, ‘Be strongH5797.’7He 7sealsH2856 the handH3027 of everyH3605 manH120, That 8allH3605 menH376 may knowH3045 His workH4639.8Then the beastH2421 goesH935 into its 9lairH695 And remainsH7931 in its 10denH4585.9Out of the 1112southH2315 comesH935 the stormH5492, And out of the 13northH2219 the coldH7135.10From the breathH5397 of GodH410 14iceH7140 is madeH5414, And the expanseH7341 of the watersH4325 is frozenH4164.11AlsoH637 with moistureH7377 He 15loadsH2959 the thickH5645 cloudH5645; He 16dispersesH6327 17the cloudH6051 of His 18lightningH216.12It changesH4524 directionH4524, turningH2015 aroundH2015 by His guidanceH8458, That 19it may doH6466 whateverH3605H834 He 20commandsH6680 21it On the 22faceH6440 of the inhabitedH8398 earthH776.13WhetherH518 for 2324correctionH7626, orH518 for 25His worldH776, OrH518 for 26lovingkindnessH2617, He causes it to 27happenH4672.

14“ListenH238 to thisH2088, O JobH347, StandH5975 and considerH995 the wondersH6381 of GodH410.15Do you knowH3045 how GodH433 establishesH7760 them, And makes the 28lightningH216 of His cloudH6051 to shineH3313?16Do you knowH3045 aboutH5921 the layersH4657 of the thickH5645 cloudsH5645, The 29wondersH4652 of one 30perfectH8549 in knowledgeH1843,17You whoseH834 garmentsH899 are hotH2525, When the landH776 is stillH8252 becauseH4480 of the southH1864 wind?18Can you, with Him, 31spreadH7554 out the skiesH7834, StrongH2389 as a moltenH3332 mirrorH7209?19TeachH3045 us whatH4100 we shall sayH559 to Him; We 32cannotH3808 arrangeH6186 our case becauseH4480H6440 of darknessH2822.20Shall it be toldH5608 Him that I would speakH1696? 33OrH518 should a manH376 sayH559 that he would be swallowedH1104 up?

21“NowH6258 34men do not seeH7200 the lightH216 whichH1931 is brightH925 in the skiesH7834; But the windH7307 has passedH5674 and clearedH2891 them.22Out of the northH6828 comesH857 goldenH2091 splendor; AroundH5921 GodH433 is awesomeH3372 majestyH1935.23The AlmightyH7706--35we cannotH3808 findH4672 Him; He is 36exaltedH7689 in powerH3581 And 37He will not doH6031 violenceH6031 38to justiceH4941 and abundantH7230 righteousnessH6666.24ThereforeH3651 menH376 39fearH3372 Him; He does not 40regardH7200 anyH3605 who are wiseH2450 of heartH3820.”
