Job 37
1 At this also my heart trembleth, and is moved out of its place.
At this also mine heart is astonied, and is mooued out of his place.
2 Hear attentively the noise of His voice, and the sound that goeth out of His mouth.
Heare the sound of his voyce, and the noyse that goeth out of his mouth.
3 He sendeth it forth under the whole heaven, and His lightning unto the ends of the earth.
He directeth it vnder the whole heauen, and his light vnto the endes of the world.
4 After it a voice roareth; He thundereth with the voice of His majesty; and He stayeth them not when His voice is heard.
After it a noyse soundeth: hee thundereth with the voyce of his maiestie, and hee will not stay them when his voyce is heard.
5 God thundereth marvellously with His voice; great things doeth He, which we cannot comprehend.
God thundereth marueilously with his voyce: he worketh great things, which we know not.
6 For He saith to the snow: 'Fall thou on the earth'; likewise to the shower of rain, and to the showers of His mighty rain.
For he sayth to the snowe, Be thou vpon the earth: likewise to the small rayne and to the great rayne of his power.
7 He sealeth up the hand of every man, that all men whom He hath made may know it.
With the force thereof he shutteth vp euery man, that all men may knowe his worke.
8 Then the beasts go into coverts, and remain in their dens.
Then the beastes go into the denne, and remaine in their places.
9 Out of the Chamber cometh the storm; and cold out of the north.
The whirlewind commeth out of the South, and the colde from the North winde.
10 By the breath of God ice is given, and the breadth of the waters is straitened.
At the breath of God the frost is giuen, and the breadth of the waters is made narrowe.
11 Yea, He ladeth the thick cloud with moister, He spreadeth abroad the cloud of His lightning;
He maketh also the cloudes to labour, to water the earth, and scattereth the cloude of his light.
12 And they are turned round about by His guidance, that they may do whatsoever He commandeth them upon the face of the habitable world:
And it is turned about by his gouernment, that they may doe whatsoeuer he commandeth them vpon the whole worlde:
13 Whether it be for correction, or for His earth, or for mercy, that He cause it to come.
Whether it be for punishment, or for his lande, or of mercie, he causeth it to come.
14 Hearken unto this, O Job; stand still, and consider the wondrous works of God.
Hearken vnto this, O Iob: stand and consider the wonderous workes of God.
15 Dost thou know how God enjoineth them, and causeth the lightning of His cloud to shine?
Diddest thou knowe when God disposed them? and caused the light of his cloud to shine?
16 Dost thou know the balancings of the clouds, the wondrous works of Him who is perfect in knowledge?
Hast thou knowen the varietie of the cloude, and the wonderous workes of him, that is perfite in knowledge?
17 Thou whose garments are warm, when the earth is still by reason of the south wind;
Or howe thy clothes are warme, when he maketh the earth quiet through the South winde?
18 Canst thou with Him spread out the sky, which is strong as a molten mirror?
Hast thou stretched out the heaues, which are strong, and as a molten glasse?
19 Teach us what we shall say unto Him; for we cannot order our speech by reason of darkness.
Tell vs what we shall say vnto him: for we can not dispose our matter because of darknes.
20 Shall it be told Him that I would speak? Or should a man wish that he were swallowed up?
Shall it be told him when I speake? or shall man speake when he shalbe destroyed?
21 And now men see not the light which is bright in the skies; but the wind passeth, and cleanseth them.
And nowe men see not the light, which shineth in the cloudes, but the winde passeth and clenseth them.
22 Out of the north cometh golden splendour, about God is terrible majesty.
The brightnesse commeth out of the North: the praise thereof is to God, which is terrible.
23 The Almighty, whom we cannot find out, is excellent in power, yet to judgment and plenteous justice He doeth no violence.
It is the Almightie: we can not finde him out: he is excellent in power and iudgement, and aboundant in iustice: he afflicteth not.
24 Men do therefore fear Him; He regardeth not any that are wise of heart.
Let men therefore feare him: for he will not regarde any that are wise in their owne conceit.
