< Job 37 >
1 Also to this it trembles heart my so it may leap from place its.
“My heart pounds [DOU] when [I think about] that.
2 Listen completely to [the] raging of voice his and [the] rumbling [which] from mouth his it comes out.
Listen, all of you, to the thunder, which is like God’s voice [DOU].
3 Under all the heavens he lets loose it and light his to [the] corners of the earth.
He causes thunder to be heard all across the sky, and he causes lighting to flash to the most distant places on the earth.
4 After it - it roars a voice he thunders with [the] voice of majesty his and not he holds back them if it is heard voice his.
After [the lightning flashes], we hear the thunder which is like [MET] God’s majestic voice; he does not restrain the lightning when he speaks.
5 He thunders God with voice his wonders [he is] doing great [things] and not we know.
When God speaks, it is awesome, like thunder; he does amazing things which we cannot [fully] understand.
6 For to the snow - he says fall earth and [the] shower of rain and [the] shower of [the] rains of strength his.
He commands the snow to fall on the ground, and [sometimes] he causes it to rain very hard.
7 On [the] hand of every person he puts a seal to know all [the] people of work his.
And [when God does that, ] it prevents people [SYN] from working, in order that all people may know that he is the one who has done that (OR, what he can do).
8 And it went an animal in a lair and in dens its it dwells.
[When it rains, ] animals go into their hiding places, and they remain there [until the rain stops].
9 From the chamber it comes a storm-wind and from [the] scattering winds coldness.
The storms/hurricanes come from the place [in the south where they start], and the cold wind comes from the north.
10 From [the] breath of God it gives ice and [the] breadth of [the] waters [is] constraint.
[In the (winter/cold season), the cold north wind is like] God’s breath [that] causes [MET] water to freeze; he causes the lakes/streams to become ice.
11 Also with moisture he burdens [the] dark cloud[s] he scatters [the] cloud of light his.
God fills the clouds with moisture/hail, and lightning flashes from the clouds.
12 And it round about - [is] turning every way (by guidance his *Q(K)*) to do they all that he commands them - over [the] surface of [the] world [the] earth towards.
He guides the clouds and causes them to move back and forth in order that they may accomplish all that he commands them to do, all over the world.
13 Whether for a rod or for earth his or for covenant loyalty he makes find it.
Sometimes God sends rain to punish us, and sometimes he sends rain to show us that he acts kindly toward us.
14 Give ear to! this O Job stand still and consider diligently - [the] wonders of God.
“Job, listen to this; stop and think about the wonderful things that God does.
15 ¿ Do you know when appoints God on them and he makes shine forth [the] light of cloud his.
(Do you know how God commands the lightning to flash down from the clouds?/We do not know how God commands the lightning to flash down from the clouds.) [RHQ]
16 ¿ Do you know on [the] balancing of [the] cloud[s] [the] wondrous works of [one] complete of knowledge.
Only God knows everything perfectly; so (do you know how he causes the clouds to (move/float) (amazingly/wonderfully) across the sky?/you certainly do not know how he causes the clouds to (move/float) (amazingly/wonderfully) across the sky!) [RHQ]
17 [you] whom Clothes your [are] hot when is still [the] earth from [the] south.
No, you just sweat there in your clothes; [it is very oppressive] when the [hot] wind stops blowing from the south and [all the leaves on the trees] (become still/do not move).
18 Will you spread out? with him clouds hard like a mirror molten.
(Can you stretch out the skies like God does and make them as hard as [SIM] a sheet of polished brass?/You certainly cannot stretch out the skies like God does and make them as hard as [SIM] a sheet of polished brass!) [RHQ]
19 Make known to us what? will we say to him not we will set in order because of darkness.
“Job, tell us(exc) what we should say to God; we do not know anything [IDM]. As a result, we do not know what to say to him to defend ourselves.
20 ¿ Will it be recounted to him that I will speak or? did he say anyone that he will be swallowed up.
Should I tell God that I want to speak to him? No, because [if I did that, ] he might destroy me.
21 And now - not people see a light [is] brilliant it in the clouds and [the] wind it has passed by and it has cleansed them.
Now, people cannot look [directly] at the sun when it shines brightly in the sky after the wind has blown the clouds away; [so, we certainly cannot look at the brightness of God].
22 From [the] north gold it comes [is] on God awesome of majesty.
God comes out of the north with a light [that shines like] gold; his glory causes us to be afraid.
23 [the] Almighty Not we have found him exalted of power and justice and greatness of righteousness not he violates.
Almighty God is very powerful, and we cannot come near to him. He always acts righteously, and he will never oppress us.
24 Therefore they fear him people not he sees any [people] wise of heart.
That is the reason that we have an awesome respect for him; he does not pay attention to those who proudly, [but wrongly], think that they are wise.”
