At this also my heart trembleth,
| | |
and is moved out of his place. |
|
|
| 2 |
Hear attentively the noise of his voice,
| | |
and the sound that goeth out of his mouth. |
|
|
| 3 |
He directeth it under the whole heaven,
| | |
and his lightning unto the ends of the earth. |
|
|
| 4 |
After it a voice roareth:
| | |
he thundereth with the voice of his excellency; |
|
and he will not stay them |
|
when his voice is heard. |
|
|
| 5 |
God thundereth marvelously with his voice;
| | |
great things doeth he, which we cannot comprehend. |
|
|
| 6 |
For he saith to the snow, Be thou on the earth;
| | |
likewise to the small rain, |
|
and to the great rain of his strength. |
|
|
| 7 |
He sealeth 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 cometh the whirlwind:
| | |
and cold out of the north. |
|
|
| 10 |
By the breath of God frost is given:
| | |
and the breadth of the waters is straitened. |
|
|
| 11 |
Also by watering he wearieth the thick cloud:
| | |
he scattereth his bright cloud: |
|
|
| 12 |
and it is turned round about by his counsels:
| | |
that they may do whatsoever he commandeth them |
|
upon the face of the world in the earth. |
|
|
| 13 |
He causeth it to come, whether for correction,
| | |
or for his land, or for mercy. |
|
|
| 14 |
Hearken unto this, O Job:
| | |
stand still, and consider the wondrous works of God. |
|
|
| 15 |
Dost thou know when God disposed them,
| | |
and caused the light of his cloud to shine? |
|
|
| 16 |
Dost thou know the balancings of the clouds,
| | |
the wondrous works of him which is perfect in knowledge? |
|
|
| 17 |
how thy garments are warm,
| | |
when he quieteth the earth by the south wind? |
|
|
| 18 |
Hast thou with him spread out the sky,
| | |
which is strong, and as a molten looking-glass? |
|
|
| 19 |
Teach us what we shall say unto him;
| | |
for we cannot order our speech by reason of darkness. |
|
|
| 20 |
Shall it be told him that I speak?
| | |
If a man speak, surely he shall be swallowed up. |
|
|
| 21 |
And now men see not the bright light which is in the clouds:
| | |
but the wind passeth, and cleanseth them. |
|
|
| 22 |
Fair weather cometh out of the north:
| | |
with God is terrible majesty. |
|
|
| 23 |
Touching the Almighty, we cannot find him out:
| | |
he is excellent in power, and in judgment, |
|
and in plenty of justice: he will not afflict. |
|
|
| 24 |
Men do therefore fear him:
| | |
he respecteth not any that are wise of heart. |
|
