Job 37:6-13

6For to 1the snow He says, ‘Fall on the earth,’ And to the 2 3downpour and the rain, ‘Be strong.’7He 4seals the hand of every person, So that 5all people may know His work.8Then the animal goes into its 6lair And remains in its 7den.9From the 8 9south comes the storm, And from the north wind the cold.10From the breath of God 10ice is made, And the expanse of the waters is frozen.11He also 11loads the clouds with moisture; He 12disperses 13the cloud of His 14lightning.12It changes direction, turning around by His guidance, That 15it may do whatever He 16commands 17it On the 18face of the inhabited earth.13Whether for 19 20correction, or for 21His earth, Or for 22goodness, He causes it to 23happen.
