[1] "At this also my heart trembles and moves out of its place. [2] Hear attentively the thunder of His voice, and the sound that goes out of His mouth. [3] He lets it loose under the whole heaven, and His lightning unto 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 that we cannot comprehend. [6] For He says to the snow, 'Come on the earth,' likewise to the gentle rain and to the heavy rain of His strength. [7] He seals up the hand of every man, that all men may know His work. [8] Then the beasts go into dens and remain in their places. [9] Out of the south comes the whirlwind, and cold out of the north. [10] By the breath of God frost is given, and the broad waters are frozen. [11] Also He loads the thick clouds with moisture; He scatters His bright clouds, [12] and they are turned about by His guidance, that they may do whatever He commands them upon the face of the inhabited earth. [13] He causes it to come, whether for correction, or for His land or for mercy. [14] "Listen to this, 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, the wondrous works of Him who is perfect in knowledge? [17] How your garments are warm, when He quiets the earth by the south wind? [18] Have you, with Him, spread out the sky, which is strong and is like a molded mirror? [19] "Teach us what we will say to Him, for we cannot prepare our speech because of the darkness. [20] Will it be told Him that I speak? If a man speaks, surely he will be swallowed up. [21] Now men do not see the bright light which is in the clouds, but the wind passes and cleanses them. [22] Fair weather comes out of the north; with God is terrible majesty. [23] Concerning the Almighty, we cannot find Him out; He is excellent in power, and in judgment, and in much righteousness He will not oppress. [24] Men therefore fear Him; He shows no partiality to those who are wise in heart."
