\c 37
|

\p
|
||
\q
|
||
\v 1 Indeed, my heart trembles at this;
|
||
\q it is moved out of its place.
|
||
\q
|
||
\v 2 Hear, oh, hear the noise of his voice,
|
||
\q the sound that goes out from his mouth.
|
||
\q
|
||
\v 3 He sends it out under the whole sky,
|
||
\q and he sends out his lightning to the borders of the earth.
|
||
|
||
\s5
|
||
\q
|
||
\v 4 A voice roars after it;
|
||
\q he thunders with the voice of his majesty;
|
||
\q he does not restrain the lightning bolts when his voice is heard.
|
||
\q
|
||
\v 5 God thunders marvelously with his voice;
|
||
\q he does great things that we cannot comprehend.
|
||
\q
|
||
\v 6 For he says to the snow, ‘Fall on the earth';
|
||
\q likewise to the rain shower,
|
||
\q ‘Become a great shower of rain.’
|
||
|
||
\s5
|
||
\q
|
||
\v 7 He stops the hand of every man from working,
|
||
\q so that all people whom he has made may see his deeds.
|
||
\q
|
||
\v 8 Then the beasts go into hiding
|
||
\q and stay in their dens.
|
||
\q
|
||
\v 9 The storm comes from its chamber in the south
|
||
\q and the cold from the scattering winds in the north.
|
||
|
||
\s5
|
||
\q
|
||
\v 10 By the breath of God ice is given;
|
||
\q the expanse of the waters is frozen like metal.
|
||
\q
|
||
\v 11 Indeed, he weighs down the thick cloud with moisture;
|
||
\q he scatters his lightning through the clouds.
|
||
|
||
\s5
|
||
\q
|
||
\v 12 He swirls the clouds around by his guidance,
|
||
\q so that they may do whatever he commands them
|
||
\q above the surface of the whole world.
|
||
\q
|
||
\v 13 He makes all of this happen; sometimes it happens for correction, sometimes for his land,
|
||
\q and sometimes as acts of covenant faithfulness.
|
||
\b
|
||
|
||
\s5
|
||
\q
|
||
\v 14 Listen to this, Job;
|
||
\q stop and think about God’s marvelous deeds.
|
||
\q
|
||
\v 15 Do you know how God forces his will on the clouds
|
||
\q and makes the lightning bolts to flash in them?
|
||
|
||
\s5
|
||
\q
|
||
\v 16 Do you understand the floating of the clouds,
|
||
\q the marvelous deeds of God, who is perfect in knowledge?
|
||
\q
|
||
\v 17 Do you understand how your garments become hot
|
||
\q when the land is still because of the wind coming from the south?
|
||
|
||
\s5
|
||
\q
|
||
\v 18 Can you spread out the sky as he can—
|
||
\q the sky, which is as strong as a mirror of cast metal?
|
||
\q
|
||
\v 19 Teach us what we should say to him,
|
||
\q for we cannot lay out our arguments in order because of the darkness of our minds.
|
||
\q
|
||
\v 20 Should he be told that I wish to speak with him?
|
||
\q Would a person wish to be swallowed up?
|
||
\b
|
||
|
||
\s5
|
||
\q
|
||
\v 21 Now, people cannot look at the sun when it is bright in the sky
|
||
\q after the wind has passed through and has cleared it of its clouds.
|
||
\q
|
||
\v 22 Out of the north comes golden splendor—
|
||
\q over God is fearsome majesty.
|
||
|
||
\s5
|
||
\q
|
||
\v 23 Concerning the Almighty, we cannot find him;
|
||
\q he is great in power and righteousness.
|
||
\q He does not oppress people.
|
||
\q
|
||
\v 24 Therefore, people fear him.
|
||
\q He does not pay any attention to those who are wise in their own minds.”
