Job 37:1-12

1“My heart pounds as I think of this. It trembles within me.

2Listen carefully to the thunder of God’s voice as it rolls from his mouth.

3It rolls across the heavens, and his lightning flashes in every direction.

4Then comes the roaring of the thunder— the tremendous voice of his majesty. He does not restrain it when he speaks.

5God’s voice is glorious in the thunder. We can’t even imagine the greatness of his power.

6“He directs the snow to fall on the earth and tells the rain to pour down.

7Then everyone stops working so they can watch his power.

8The wild animals take cover and stay inside their dens.

9The stormy wind comes from its chamber, and the driving winds bring the cold.

10God’s breath sends the ice, freezing wide expanses of water.

11He loads the clouds with moisture, and they flash with his lightning.

12The clouds churn about at his direction. They do whatever he commands throughout the earth.
