Job 37
1 “Also, my heart trembles at this, And it moves from its place.
At this also mine heart is astonied, and is mooued out of his place.
2 Listen diligently to the trembling of His voice, Indeed, the sound goes forth from His mouth.
Heare the sound of his voyce, and the noyse that goeth out of his mouth.
3 He directs it under the whole heavens, And its light [is] over the skirts of the earth.
He directeth it vnder the whole heauen, and his light vnto the endes of the world.
4 A voice roars after it—He thunders with the voice of His excellence, And He does not hold them back, 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 thunders with His voice wonderfully, Doing great things and we do not know.
God thundereth marueilously with his voyce: he worketh great things, which we know not.
6 For He says to snow: Be [on] the earth. And the small rain and great rain of His power.
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 Into the hand of every man he seals, For the knowledge by all men of His work.
With the force thereof he shutteth vp euery man, that all men may knowe his worke.
8 And the beast enters into [its] lair, And it continues in its habitations.
Then the beastes go into the denne, and remaine in their places.
9 From the inner chamber comes a windstorm, And from scatterings winds—cold,
The whirlewind commeth out of the South, and the colde from the North winde.
10 From the breath of God is frost given, And the breadth of waters is constricted,
At the breath of God the frost is giuen, and the breadth of the waters is made narrowe.
11 Indeed, by filling He presses out a cloud, [and] His light scatters a cloud.
He maketh also the cloudes to labour, to water the earth, and scattereth the cloude of his light.
12 And it is turning itself around by His counsels, For their doing all He commands them, On the face of the habitable earth.
And it is turned about by his gouernment, that they may doe whatsoeuer he commandeth them vpon the whole worlde:
13 Whether for a rod, or for His land, Or for kindness—He causes it to come.
Whether it be for punishment, or for his lande, or of mercie, he causeth it to come.
14 Hear this, O Job, Stand and consider the wonders of God.
Hearken vnto this, O Iob: stand and consider the wonderous workes of God.
15 Do you know when God places them, And caused the light of His cloud to shine?
Diddest thou knowe when God disposed them? and caused the light of his cloud to shine?
16 Do you know the balancings of a cloud? The wonders of the Perfect in knowledge?
Hast thou knowen the varietie of the cloude, and the wonderous workes of him, that is perfite in knowledge?
17 How your garments [are] warm, In the quieting of the earth from the south?
Or howe thy clothes are warme, when he maketh the earth quiet through the South winde?
18 You have made an expanse with Him For the clouds—strong as a hard mirror!
Hast thou stretched out the heaues, which are strong, and as a molten glasse?
19 Let us know what we say to Him, We do not set in array because of darkness.
Tell vs what we shall say vnto him: for we can not dispose our matter because of darknes.
20 Is it declared to Him that I speak? If a man has spoken, surely he is swallowed up.
Shall it be told him when I speake? or shall man speake when he shalbe destroyed?
21 And now, they have not seen the light, It [is] bright in the clouds, And the wind has passed by and cleanses them.
And nowe men see not the light, which shineth in the cloudes, but the winde passeth and clenseth them.
22 It comes from the golden north, Fearful splendor [is] beside God.
The brightnesse commeth out of the North: the praise thereof is to God, which is terrible.
23 The Mighty! We have not found Him out, High in power and judgment, He does not answer! And abundant in righteousness,
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 Therefore men fear Him, He does not see any of the wise of heart.”
Let men therefore feare him: for he will not regarde any that are wise in their owne conceit.
