Job 37:1-12

1“At this also my heart trembles, And leaps from its place.2Listen closely to the 1thunder of His voice, And the rumbling that goes out from His mouth.3Under the whole heaven He lets it loose, And His 2lightning travels to the 3ends of the earth.4After it, a voice roars; He thunders with His majestic voice, And He does not restrain 4the lightning when His voice is heard.5God 5thunders wondrously with His voice, Doing 6great things which we do not comprehend.6For to 7the snow He says, ‘Fall on the earth,’ And to the 8 9downpour and the rain, ‘Be strong.’7He 10seals the hand of every person, So that 11all people may know His work.8Then the animal goes into its 12lair And remains in its 13den.9From the 14 15south comes the storm, And from the north wind the cold.10From the breath of God 16ice is made, And the expanse of the waters is frozen.11He also 17loads the clouds with moisture; He 18disperses 19the cloud of His 20lightning.12It changes direction, turning around by His guidance, That 21it may do whatever He 22commands 23it On the 24face of the inhabited earth.
