1 Y ea, at this my heart trembleth, And is moved out of its place.

2 H ear, oh, hear the noise of his voice, And the sound that goeth out of his mouth.

3 H e sendeth it forth under the whole heaven, And his lightening unto the ends of the earth.

4 A fter it a voice roareth; He thundereth with the voice of his majesty; And he restraineth not the lightnings when his voice is heard.

5 G od thundereth marvellously with his voice; Great things doeth he, which we cannot comprehend.

6 F or 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 H e sealeth up the hand of every man, That all men whom he hath made may know it.

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

9 O ut of the chamber of the south cometh the storm, And cold out of the north.

10 B y the breath of God ice is given; And the breadth of the waters is straitened.

11 Y ea, he ladeth the thick cloud with moisture; He spreadeth abroad the cloud of his lightning:

12 A nd it is turned round about by his guidance, That they may do whatsoever he commandeth them Upon the face of the habitable world,

13 W hether it be for correction, or for his land, Or for lovingkindness, that he cause it to come.

14 H earken unto this, O Job: Stand still, and consider the wondrous works of God.

15 D ost thou know how God layeth his charge upon them, And causeth the lightning of his cloud to shine?

16 D ost thou know the balancings of the clouds, The wondrous works of him who is perfect in knowledge?

17 H ow thy garments are warm, When the earth is still by reason of the south wind?

18 C anst thou with him spread out the sky, Which is strong as a molten mirror?

19 T each us what we shall say unto him; For we cannot set our speech in order by reason of darkness.

20 S hall it be told him that I would speak? Or should a man wish that he were swallowed up?

21 A nd now men see not the light which is bright in the skies; But the wind passeth, and cleareth them.

22 O ut of the north cometh golden splendor: God hath upon him terrible majesty.

23 T ouching the Almighty, we cannot find him out He is excellent in power; And in justice and plenteous righteousness he will not afflict.

24 M en do therefore fear him: He regardeth not any that are wise of heart.
