^37:1 Yes, at this my heart trembles and is moved out of its place.

    ^37:2 Hear, O, hear the noise of his voice and the rumbling that goes out of his mouth. ^37:3 He sends it forth under the whole heaven and his lightning to the ends of the earth. ^37:4 After it a voice roars. He thunders with the voice of his majesty and he does not restrain the lightnings when his voice is heard.

    ^37:5 God thunders marvelously with his voice. He does great things which we cannot comprehend.^37:6For he says to the snow, Fall on the earth, likewise to the shower of rain and to the showers of his mighty rain.

    ^37:7 He seals up the hand of every man, that all men whom he has made may know it.

    ^37:8 Then the beasts go into coverts and remain in their dens. ^37:9 Out of the chamber of the south comes the storm and cold out of the north. ^37:10 By the breath of God ice is given and the breadth of the waters is constrained. ^37:11 Yes, he loads the thick cloud with moisture. He spreads abroad the cloud of his lightning, ^37:12 and it is turned all around by his guidance, that they may do whatever he commands them upon the face of the habitable world.

    ^37:13 He causes it to come, whether it is for correction, or for his land, or for loving kindness.

    ^37:14 Listen to this, O Job. Stand still and consider the wondrous works of God. ^37:15 Do you know how God lays his charge upon them and causes the lightning of his cloud to shine? ^37:16 Do you know the balancing of the clouds, the wondrous works of him who is perfect in knowledge? ^37:17 How your garments are warm when the earth is still because of the south wind? ^37:18 Can you with him spread out the sky, which is strong as a molten mirror?

    ^37:19 Teach us what we will say to him. We cannot arrange our case because of darkness. ^37:20 Shall it be told him that I would speak? Or should a man wish that he were swallowed up?

    ^37:21 And now men do not see the light which is bright in the skies, but the wind passes and clears them. ^37:22 Out of the north comes golden splendor. God has upon him awesome majesty.

    ^37:23 O the Almighty, we cannot find him out. He is excellent in power. And in justice and abundant righteousness he will not afflict. ^37:24 Men therefore fear him. He does not regard any who are wise of heart.
