Job 37 — BBE
37Verse 1At this my heart is shaking; it is moved out of its place.Verse 2Give ear to the rolling noise of his voice; to the hollow sound which goes out of his mouth.Verse 3He sends it out through all the heaven, and his thunder-flame to the ends of the earth.Verse 4After it a voice is sounding, thundering out the word of his power; he does not keep back his thunder-flames; from his mouth his voice is sounding.Verse 5He does wonders, more than may be searched out; great things of which we have no knowledge;Verse 6For he says to the snow, Make the earth wet; and to the rain-storm, Come down.Verse 7He puts an end to the work of every man, so that all may see his work.Verse 8Then the beasts go into their holes, and take their rest.Verse 9Out of its place comes the storm-wind, and the cold out of its store-houses.Verse 10By the breath of God ice is made, and the wide waters are shut in.Verse 11The thick cloud is weighted with thunder-flame, and the cloud sends out its light;Verse 12And it goes this way and that, round about, turning itself by his guiding, to do whatever he gives orders to be done, on the face of his world of men,Verse 13For a rod, or for a curse, or for mercy, causing it to come on the mark.Verse 14Give ear to this, O Job, and keep quiet in your place; and take note of the wonders worked by God.Verse 15Have you knowledge of God's ordering of his works, how he makes the light of his cloud to be seen?Verse 16Have you knowledge of the balancings of the clouds, the wonders of him who has all wisdom?Verse 17You, whose clothing is warm, when the earth is quiet because of the south wind,Verse 18Will you, with him, make the skies smooth, and strong as a polished looking-glass?Verse 19Make clear to me what we are to say to him; we are unable to put our cause before him, because of the dark.Verse 20How may he have knowledge of my desire for talk with him? or did any man ever say, May destruction come on me?Verse 21And now the light is not seen, for it is dark because of the clouds; but a wind comes, clearing them away.Verse 22A bright light comes out of the north; God's glory is greatly to be feared.Verse 23There is no searching out of the Ruler of all: his strength and his judging are great; he is full of righteousness, doing no wrong.Verse 24For this cause men go in fear of him; he has no respect for any who are wise in heart.
