Job 37

¹At this, my heart became frightened, and it has been moved from its place

²Pay close attention to the alarm of his voice and to the sound that proceeds from his mouth

³He beholds everything under the heavens, and his light reaches beyond the ends of the earth

⁴After this, a noise will sound; he will thunder with the voice of his greatness, and it will not be tracked down, yet his voice will be obeyed

⁵God will thunder with his voice miraculously, for he performs great and unsearchable things

⁶He commands the snow to descend on earth, and the winter rains, and the shower of his strength

⁷He signs the hand of all men, so that each one may know his works

⁸The beast will enter his hiding-place, and he will remain in his cave

⁹From the interior, a storm will come forth, and a cold winter from the north

¹⁰As God breathes out, frost forms, and the waters are poured forth very widely again

¹¹Crops desire clouds, and the clouds scatter their light

¹²It shines all around, wherever the will of him that governs them will lead, to anywhere he will command, over the whole face of the earth

¹³whether in one tribe, or in his own region, or in whatever place of his mercy that he will order them to be found

¹⁴Listen to these things, Job. Stand up and consider the wonders of God

¹⁵Do you know when God ordered the rains, so as to show the light of his clouds

¹⁶Do you know the great paths of the clouds, and the perfect sciences

¹⁷Are not your garments hot, when the south wind blows across the land

¹⁸Perhaps you have made the heavens with him, which are very solid, as if they had been cast from brass

¹⁹Reveal to us what we should say to him, for, of course, we are wrapped in darkness

²⁰Who will explain to him the things that I am saying? Even while a man is still speaking, he will be devoured

²¹Although they do not see the light, the air will be thickened suddenly into clouds, and the wind, passing by, will drive them away

²²Riches arrive from the north, and fearful praise reaches out to God

²³We are not worthy to be able to find him. Great in strength, great in judgment, great in justice: he is indescribable

²⁴Therefore, men will fear him, and all those who seem to themselves to be wise, will not dare to contemplate him
