Job 37

The Webster Bible WBT

1 At this also my heart trembleth, and is moved out of its place.

2 Hear attentively the noise of his voice, and the sound [that] goeth out of his mouth.

3 He directeth it under the whole heaven, and his lightning to the ends of the earth.

4 After it a voice roareth: he thundereth with the voice of his excellence; and he will not stay them when his voice is heard.

5 God thundereth marvelously with his voice; great things he doeth, which we cannot comprehend.

6 For he saith to the snow, Be thou [on] the earth; likewise to the small rain, and to the great rain of his strength.

7 He sealeth up the hand of every man; that all men may know his work.

8 Then the beasts go into dens, and remain in their places.

9 From the south cometh the whirlwind: and cold from the north.

10 By the breath of God frost is given: and the breadth of the waters is straitened.

11 Also by watering he wearieth the thick cloud: he scattereth his bright cloud:

12 And it is turned around by his counsels: that they may do whatever he commandeth them upon the face of the world on the earth.

13 He causeth it to come, whether for correction, or for his land, or for mercy.

14 Hearken to this, O Job: stand still, and consider the wondrous works of God.

15 Dost thou know 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?

17 How thy garments [are] warm, when he quieteth the earth by the south [wind]?

18 Hast thou with him spread out the sky [which is] strong, [and] as a molten looking-glass?

19 Teach us what we shall say to him; [for] we cannot order [our speech] by reason of darkness.

20 Shall it be told him that I speak? If a man shall speak, surely he will be swallowed up.

21 And now [men] see not the bright light which [is] in the clouds: but the wind passeth, and cleanseth them.

22 Fair weather cometh from the north: with God [is] terrible majesty.

23 [Touching] the Almighty, we cannot find him out: [he is] excellent in power, and in judgment, and in abundance of justice: he will not afflict.

24 Men therefore fear him: he respecteth not any [that are] wise of heart.

New International Version NIV

1 “At this my heart pounds and leaps from its place.

2 Listen! Listen to the roar of his voice, to the rumbling that comes from his mouth.

3 He unleashes his lightning beneath the whole heaven and sends it to the ends of the earth.

4 After that comes the sound of his roar; he thunders with his majestic voice. When his voice resounds, he holds nothing back.

5 God’s voice thunders in marvelous ways; he does great things beyond our understanding.

6 He says to the snow, ‘Fall on the earth,’ and to the rain shower, ‘Be a mighty downpour.’

7 So that everyone he has made may know his work, he stops all people from their labor.

8 The animals take cover; they remain in their dens.

9 The tempest comes out from its chamber, the cold from the driving winds.

10 The breath of God produces ice, and the broad waters become frozen.

11 He loads the clouds with moisture; he scatters his lightning through them.

12 At his direction they swirl around over the face of the whole earth to do whatever he commands them.

13 He brings the clouds to punish people, or to water his earth and show his love.

14 “Listen to this, Job; stop and consider God’s wonders.

15 Do you know how God controls the clouds and makes his lightning flash?

16 Do you know how the clouds hang poised, those wonders of him who has perfect knowledge?

17 You who swelter in your clothes when the land lies hushed under the south wind,

18 can you join him in spreading out the skies, hard as a mirror of cast bronze?

19 “Tell us what we should say to him; we cannot draw up our case because of our darkness.

20 Should he be told that I want to speak? Would anyone ask to be swallowed up?

21 Now no one can look at the sun, bright as it is in the skies after the wind has swept them clean.

22 Out of the north he comes in golden splendor; God comes in awesome majesty.

23 The Almighty is beyond our reach and exalted in power; in his justice and great righteousness, he does not oppress.

24 Therefore, people revere him, for does he not have regard for all the wise in heart? ”
