Job 37 — ASV

37Verse 1Yea, at this my heart trembleth,
And is moved out of its place.
^{Verse 2}Hear, oh, hear the noise of his voice,
And the sound that goeth out of his mouth.
^{Verse 3}He sendeth it forth under the whole heaven,
And his lightning unto the ends of the earth.
^{Verse 4}After it a voice roareth;
He thundereth with the voice of his majesty;
And he restraineth not the lightnings when his voice is heard.
^{Verse 5}God thundereth marvellously with his voice;
Great things doeth he, which we cannot comprehend.
^{Verse 6}For he saith to the snow, Fall thou on the earth;
Likewise to the shower of rain,
And to the showers of his mighty rain.
^{Verse 7}He sealeth up the hand of every man,
That all men whom he hath made may know it.
^{Verse 8}Then the beasts go into coverts,
And remain in their dens.
^{Verse 9}Out of the chamber of the south cometh the storm,
And cold out of the north.
^{Verse 10}By the breath of God ice is given;
And the breadth of the waters is straitened.
^{Verse 11}Yea, he ladeth the thick cloud with moisture;
He spreadeth abroad the cloud of his lightning:
^{Verse 12}And it is turned round about by his guidance,
That they may do whatsoever he commandeth them
Upon the face of the habitable world,
^{Verse 13}Whether it be for correction, or for his land,
Or for lovingkindness, that he cause it to come.^{Verse 14}Hearken unto this, O Job:
Stand still, and consider the wondrous works of God.
^{Verse 15}Dost thou know how God layeth his charge upon them,
And causeth the lightning of his cloud to shine?
^{Verse 16}Dost thou know the balancings of the clouds,
The wondrous works of him who is perfect in knowledge?
^{Verse 17}How thy garments are warm,
When the earth is still by reason of the south wind?
^{Verse 18}Canst thou with him spread out the sky,
Which is strong as a molten mirror?
^{Verse 19}Teach us what we shall say unto him;
For we cannot set our speech in order by reason of darkness.
^{Verse 20}Shall it be told him that I would speak?
Or should a man wish that he were swallowed up?^{Verse 21}And now men see not the light which is bright in the skies;
But the wind passeth, and cleareth them.
^{Verse 22}Out of the north cometh golden splendor:
God hath upon him terrible majesty.
^{Verse 23}Touching the Almighty, we cannot find him out:
He is excellent in power;
And in justice and plenteous righteousness he will not afflict.
^{Verse 24}Men do therefore fear him:
He regardeth not any that are wise of heart.
