Job 37:1-13 ▼

1 At this also my heart trembleth, And is moved out of its place.

2 Hear attentively the noise of His voice, And the sound that goeth out of His mouth.

3 He sendeth it forth 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 majesty; And He stayeth them not when His voice is heard.

5 God thundereth marvellously with His voice; Great things doeth He, which we cannot comprehend.

6 For He saith to the snow: 'Fall thou on the earth'; Likewise to the shower of rain, and to the showers of His mighty rain.

7 He sealeth up the hand of every man, That all men whom He hath made may know it.

8 Then the beasts go into coverts, And remain in their dens.

9 Out of the Chamber cometh the storm; And cold out of the north.

10 By the breath of God ice is given, And the breadth of the waters is straitened.

11 Yea, He ladeth the thick cloud with moister, He spreadeth abroad the cloud of His lightning;

12 And they are turned round about by His guidance, That they may do whatsoever He commandeth them Upon the face of the habitable world:

13 Whether it be for correction, or for His earth, Or for mercy, that He cause it to come.
