| Chapter 37 |
1 | At this my heart trembleth, and is moved out of its place.
|
2 | Hear ye attentively the terror of his voice, and the sound that cometh out of his mouth.
|
3 | He beholdeth under all the heavens, and his light is upon the ends of the earth.
|
4 | After it a noise shall roar, he shall thunder with the voice of his majesty, and shall not be found out, when his voice shall be heard.
|
5 | God shall thunder wonderfully with his voice, he that doth great and unsearchable things.
|
6 | He commandeth the snow to go down upon the earth, and the winter rain, and the shower of his strength.
|
7 | He sealeth up the hand of all men, that every one may know his works.
|
8 | Then the beast shall go into his covert, and shall abide in his den.
|
9 | Out of the inner parts shall a tempest come, and cold out of the north.
|
10 | When God bloweth there cometh frost, and again the waters are poured out abundantly.
|
11 | Corn desireth clouds, and the clouds spread their light :
|
12 | Which go round about, whithersoever the will of him that governeth them shall lead them, to whatsoever he shall command them upon the face of the whole earth :
|
13 | Whether in one tribe, or in his own land, or in what place soever of his mercy he shall command them to be found.
|
14 | Hearken to these things, Job : Stand, and consider the wondrous works of God.
|
15 | Dost thou know when God commanded the rains, to shew his light of his clouds?
|
16 | Knowest thou the great paths of the clouds, and the perfect knowledges?
|
17 | Are not thy garments hot, when the south wind blows upon the earth?
|
18 | Thou perhaps hast made the heavens with him, which are most strong, as if they were of molten brass.
|
19 | Shew us what we may say to him : for we are wrapped up in darkness.
|
20 | Who shall tell him the things I speak? even if a man shall speak, he shall be swallowed up.
|
21 | But now they see not the light : the air on a sudden shall be thickened into clouds, and the wind shall pass and drive them away.
|
22 | Cold cometh out of the north, and to God praise with fear.
|
23 | We cannot find him worthily : he is great in strength, and in judgment, and in justice, and he is ineffable.
|
24 | Therefore men shall fear him, and all that seem to themselves to be wise, shall not dare to behold him.
