Job 37

Lexham English Bible LEB

1 "About this also my heart trembles, and it leaps from its place.

2 Listen carefully to his voice's thunder and [the] rumbling [that] goes out from his mouth.

3 He lets it loose under all the heavens, and his lightning to the earth's corners.

4 After it, his voice roars; it thunders {with his majestic voice}, and he does not restrain it when his voice is heard.

5 "God thunders with his voice in marvelous ways; he does great things, and we cannot comprehend.

6 For to the snow he says, 'Fall [on the] earth'; and {the shower of rain, his heavy shower of rain}--

7 {he stops all human beings from working} {so that everyone whom he has made may know it}.

8 Then [the] animal goes into [its] den, and it remains in its den.

9 "[The] storm wind comes from its chamber and cold from [the] north wind.

10 By God's breath, ice is given, and [the] broad waters [are] frozen.

11 Also, he loads down thick clouds with moisture; his lightning scatters [the] clouds.

12 And {they} turn around by his guidance to accomplish all that he has commanded them on [the] face of {the habitable world}.

13 Whether as {correction} or for his land, or as loyal love, he lets it happen.

14 "Hear this, Job; stand [still] and consider carefully God's wondrous works.

15 Do you know {how God commands them} and [how] he causes his cloud's lightning to shine?

16 Do you know about the hovering of the clouds, {the marvelous works of the one with perfect knowledge}?

17 [You] whose garments [are] hot, when [the] earth is being still because of [the] south wind,

18 with him can you spread out [the] skies, hard as a molten mirror?

19 "Teach us what we should say to him; we cannot draw up our case because of [the] presence of darkness.

20 Should he be told that I want to speak? Or did a man say that he would be communicated with?

21 So then, they do not look at the light [when it is] bright in the skies, when [the] wind has passed and has cleansed them.

22 From [the] north comes gold-- awesome majesty [is] around God.

23 [As for] Shaddai, we cannot attain him; [he is] exalted [in] power, and he does not oppress justice and abundant righteousness.

24 Therefore people revered him; he does not regard any {who think that they are wise}."

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? ”
