Job 37:1-13 ▼

1 “Also, my heart trembles at this, || And it moves from its place.

2 Listen diligently to the trembling of His voice, || Indeed, the sound goes forth from His mouth.

3 He directs it under the whole heavens, || And its light [is] over the skirts of the earth.

4 A voice roars after it—He thunders with the voice of His excellence, || And He does not hold them back, || When His voice is heard.

5 God thunders with His voice wonderfully, || Doing great things and we do not know.

6 For He says to snow: Be [on] the earth. And the small rain and great rain of His power.

7 Into the hand of every man he seals, || For the knowledge by all men of His work.

8 And the beast enters into [its] lair, || And it continues in its habitations.

9 From the inner chamber comes a windstorm, || And from scatterings winds—cold,

10 From the breath of God is frost given, || And the breadth of waters is constricted,

11 Indeed, by filling He presses out a cloud, [and] His light scatters a cloud.

12 And it is turning itself around by His counsels, || For their doing all He commands them, || On the face of the habitable earth.

13 Whether for a rod, or for His land, || Or for kindness—He causes it to come.
