Job 37
1 At this, my heart became frightened, and it has been moved from its place.
At this my heart trembleth, and is moved out of its place.
2 Pay close attention to the alarm of his voice and to the sound that proceeds from his mouth.
Hear ye attentively the terror of his voice, and the sound that cometh out of his mouth.
3 He beholds everything under the heavens, and his light reaches beyond the ends of the earth.
He beholdeth under all the heavens, and his light is upon the ends of the earth.
4 After this, a noise will sound; he will thunder with the voice of his greatness, and it will not be tracked down, yet his voice will be obeyed.
After it a noise shall roar, he shall thunder with the voice of his majesty, and shall not be found out, when his voice shall be heard.
5 God will thunder with his voice miraculously, for he performs great and unsearchable things.
God shall thunder wonderfully with his voice, he that doth great and unsearchable things.
6 He commands the snow to descend on earth, and the winter rains, and the shower of his strength.
He commandeth the snow to go down upon the earth, and the winter rain, and the shower of his strength.
7 He signs the hand of all men, so that each one may know his works.
He sealeth up the hand of all men, that every one may know his works.
8 The beast will enter his hiding-place, and he will remain in his cave.
Then the beast shall go into his covert, and shall abide in his den.
9 From the interior, a storm will come forth, and a cold winter from the north.
Out of the inner parts shall a tempest come, and cold out of the north.
10 As God breathes out, frost forms, and the waters are poured forth very widely again.
When God bloweth there cometh frost, and again the waters are poured out abundantly.
11 Crops desire clouds, and the clouds scatter their light.
Corn desireth clouds, and the clouds spread their light:
12 It shines all around, wherever the will of him that governs them will lead, to anywhere he will command, over the whole face of the earth,
Which go round about, whithersoever the will of him that governeth them shall lead them, to whatsoever he shall command them upon the face of the whole earth:
13 whether in one tribe, or in his own region, or in whatever place of his mercy that he will order them to be found.
Whether in one tribe, or in his own land, or in what place soever of his mercy he shall command them to be found.
14 Listen to these things, Job. Stand up and consider the wonders of God.
Hearken to these things, Job: Stand, and consider the wondrous works of God.
15 Do you know when God ordered the rains, so as to show the light of his clouds?
Dost thou know when God commanded the rains, to shew his light of his clouds?
16 Do you know the great paths of the clouds, and the perfect sciences?
Knowest thou the great paths of the clouds, and the perfect knowledges?
17 Are not your garments hot, when the south wind blows across the land?
Are not thy garments hot, when the south wind blows upon the earth?
18 Perhaps you have made the heavens with him, which are very solid, as if they had been cast from brass.
Thou perhaps hast made the heavens with him, which are most strong, as if they were of molten brass.
19 Reveal to us what we should say to him, for, of course, we are wrapped in darkness.
Shew us what we may say to him: for we are wrapped up in darkness.
20 Who will explain to him the things that I am saying? Even while a man is still speaking, he will be devoured.
Who shall tell him the things I speak? even if a man shall speak, he shall be swallowed up.
21 Although they do not see the light, the air will be thickened suddenly into clouds, and the wind, passing by, will drive them away.
But now they see not the light: the air on a sudden shall be thickened into clouds, and the wind shall pass and drive them away.
22 Riches arrive from the north, and fearful praise reaches out to God.
Cold cometh out of the north, and to God praise with fear.
23 We are not worthy to be able to find him. Great in strength, great in judgment, great in justice: he is indescribable.
We cannot find him worthily: he is great in strength, and in judgment, and in justice, and he is ineffable.
24 Therefore, men will fear him, and all those who seem to themselves to be wise, will not dare to contemplate him.
Therefore men shall fear him, and all that seem to themselves to be wise, shall not dare to behold him.
