[1] "At this also my heart trembles, And leaps from its place. [2] Hear attentively the thunder of His voice, And the rumbling that comes from His mouth. [3] He sends it forth under the whole heaven, His lightning to the ends of the earth. [4] After it a voice roars; He thunders with His majestic voice, And He does not restrain them when His voice is heard. [5] God thunders marvelously with His voice; He does great things which we cannot comprehend. [6] For He says to the snow, 'Fall on the earth'; Likewise to the gentle rain and the heavy rain of His strength. [7] He seals the hand of every man, That all men may know His work. [8] The beasts go into dens, And remain in their lairs. [9] From the chamber of the south comes the whirlwind, And cold from the scattering winds of the north. [10] By the breath of God ice is given, And the broad waters are frozen. [11] Also with moisture He saturates the thick clouds; He scatters His bright clouds. [12] And they swirl about, being turned by His guidance, That they may do whatever He commands them On the face of the whole earth. [13] He causes it to come, Whether for correction, Or for His land, Or for mercy. [14] "Listen to this, O Job; Stand still and consider the wondrous works of God. [15] Do you know when God dispatches them, And causes the light of His cloud to shine? [16] Do you know how the clouds are balanced, Those wondrous works of Him who is perfect in knowledge? [17] Why are your garments hot, When He quiets the earth by the south wind? [18] With Him, have you spread out the skies, Strong as a cast metal mirror? [19] "Teach us what we should say to Him, For we can prepare nothing because of the darkness. [20] Should He be told that I wish to speak? If a man were to speak, surely he would be swallowed up. [21] Even now men cannot look at the light when it is bright in the skies, When the wind has passed and cleared them. [22] He comes from the north as golden splendor; With God is awesome majesty. [23] As for the Almighty, we cannot find Him; He is excellent in power, In judgment and abundant justice; He does not oppress. [24] Therefore men fear Him; He shows no partiality to any who are wise of heart."
