Job 37 — TOJB

37Verse 1At this also my lev trembleth,
and is moved out of its place.
^{Verse 2}Hear attentively the rogez of His voice,
and the sound that goeth out of His mouth.
^{Verse 3}He directeth it under kol HaShomayim,
and His ohr (lightning) unto the ends of ha'aretz.
^{Verse 4}After it His kol (voice) roareth;
He thundereth with the kol of His majesty;
one cannot hold them back when His kol is heard.
^{Verse 5}El thundereth marvellously with His kol;
gedolot doeth He, beyond our understanding.
^{Verse 6}For He saith to the snow,
Fall thou to the eretz; likewise to the geshem matar,
the heavy downpour of rain.
^{Verse 7}He sealeth up kol adam;
that all men may know His work.
^{Verse 8}Then the chayyah (beasts) go into their lair,
and remain in their places.
^{Verse 9}Out of its cheder (chamber) cometh the whirlwind;
and cold out of the driving winds.
^{Verse 10}By the neshamah of El frost is given,
and the broad mayim are frozen.
^{Verse 11}Also by watering He loadeth the thick cloud;
He scattereth the anan of His ohr (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 tevel (habitable world).
^{Verse 13}He causeth it to happen, whether for correction,
or for His land, or for chesed.^{Verse 14}Pay heed unto this, O Iyov;
stand still, and consider the nifle'ot El (wondrous works of G-d).
^{Verse 15}Dost thou know how Eloah controls them,
and caused the ohr (lightning) of His cloud to flash?
^{Verse 16}Dost thou know the spreading out of the clouds,
the wondrous works of Him which is tamim in da'as?
^{Verse 17}You whose garments are hot,
when the eretz is still because of the south wind,
^{Verse 18}Hast thou with Him spread out the shekhakim (clouds),
hard as a molten mirror?
^{Verse 19}Teach us what we shall say unto Him,
for we cannot order our case by reason of choshech.
^{Verse 20}Should it be told Him that I wish to speak?
Or should an ish say that he would be swallowed up?^{Verse 21}And now men cannot look at the bright ohr which is in the clouds,
when the ruach passeth, and cleareth them.
^{Verse 22}Splendor of zahav cometh out of the north;
with Elo'ah is awesome hod (majesty).
^{Verse 23}Touching Shaddai, we cannot reach Him;
He is exalted in ko'ach,
and in mishpat, and rov tzedakah;
He does not oppress.
^{Verse 24}Anashim do therefore fear Him;
He regardeth not any that are wise of heart.
