Elihu Says God Has Authority over the Storm

1“At thisH2088 alsoH637 my heartH3820 tremblesH2729, And leapsH5425 from its placeH4725.2ListenH8085 closelyH8085 to the 1thunderH7267 of His voiceH6963, And the rumblingH1899 that goesH3318 outH3318 from His mouthH6310.3UnderH8478 the wholeH3605 heavenH8064 He letsH8281 it looseH8281, And His 2lightningH216 travels to the 3endsH3671 of the earthH776.4AfterH310 it, a voiceH6963 roarsH7580; He thundersH7481 with His majesticH1347 voiceH6963, And He does not restrainH6117 4the lightning when His voiceH6963 is heardH8085.5GodH410 5thundersH7481 wondrouslyH6381 with His voiceH6963, DoingH6213 6greatH1419 thingsH1419 which we do not comprehendH3045.6For to 7the snowH7950 He saysH559, ‘FallH1933 on the earthH776,’ And to the 89downpourH1653H4306 and the rainH1653H4306, ‘Be strongH5797.’7He 10sealsH2856 the handH3027 of everyH3605 personH120, So that 11allH3605 peopleH376 may knowH3045 His workH4639.8Then the animalH2421 goesH935 into its 12lairH695 And remainsH7931 in its 13denH4585.9From the 1415southH2315 comesH935 the stormH5492, And from the northH2219 windH2219 the coldH7135.10From the breathH5397 of GodH410 16iceH7140 is madeH5414, And the expanseH7341 of the watersH4325 is frozenH4164.11He alsoH637 17loadsH2959 the cloudsH5645 with moistureH7377; He 18dispersesH6327 19the cloudH6051 of His 20lightningH216.12It changesH4524 directionH4524, turningH2015 aroundH2015 by His guidanceH8458, That 21it may doH6466 whateverH3605H834 He 22commandsH6680 23it On the 24faceH6440 of the inhabitedH8398 earthH776.13WhetherH518 for 2526correctionH7626, orH518 for 27His earthH776, OrH518 for 28goodnessH2617, He causes it to 29happenH4672.

14“ListenH238 to thisH2088, JobH347; StandH5975 and considerH995 the wondersH6381 of GodH410.15Do you knowH3045 how GodH433 establishesH7760 them, And makes the 30lightningH216 of His cloudsH6051 to shineH3313?16Do you knowH3045 aboutH5921 the hoveringH4657 of the cloudsH5645, The 31wondersH4652 of One who is 32perfectH8549 in knowledgeH1843,17You whoseH834 garmentsH899 are hotH2525 When the landH776 isH8252 stillH8252 becauseH4480 of the southH1864 wind?18Can you, with Him, 33spreadH7554 outH7554 the skiesH7834, StrongH2389 as a castH3332 metalH3332 mirrorH7209?19TeachH3045 us whatH4100 we are to sayH559 to Him; We 34cannotH3808 presentH6186 our case becauseH4480H6440 of darknessH2822.20Shall it be toldH5608 Him that I would speakH1696? 35OrH518 should a manH376 sayH559 that he would be swallowedH1104 upH1104?

21“NowH6258 people do not seeH7200 the lightH216 whichH1931 is brightH925 in the skiesH7834; But the windH7307 has passedH5674 and clearedH2891 them.22From the northH6828 comesH857 goldenH2091 splendor; AroundH5921 GodH433 is awesomeH3372 majestyH1935.23The AlmightyH7706--36we cannotH3808 findH4672 Him; He is 37exaltedH7689 in powerH3581 And 38He will not violateH6031 39justiceH4941 and abundantH7230 righteousnessH6666.24ThereforeH3651 peopleH376 40fearH3372 Him; He does not 41regardH7200 anyH3605 who are wiseH2450 of heartH3820.”
