1 ¶ At this also my heart trembles and is moved out of its place.

2 H ear attentively his terrible voice and the word that goes out of his mouth.

3 H e shall place it straight under the whole of the heavens, and his light shall extend unto the ends of the earth.

4 A fter it shall the sound roar; his valiant voice shall thunder; and he will not stay them even when his voice is heard.

5 G od shall thunder marvelously with his voice; he does great things, which we cannot comprehend.

6 ¶ For he saith to the snow, Be thou on the earth; rain after rain, and rain after rain in his strength.

7 H e seals up the hand of every man that all men may know his work.

8 T hen the beast shall go into its lair and inhabit its dwelling.

9 O ut of the south comes the whirlwind and cold out of the north wind.

10 B y the breath of God ice is given; and the broad waters are constrained.

11 I n addition to this, with clarity he wearies the thick clouds; and he scatters them with his light.

12 A nd they are turned round about by his counsels; that they may do whatever he commands them upon the face of the world in the earth.

13 O n some occasions for correction, on others for his land, on others for mercy he causes them to appear.

14 ¶ Hearken unto this, Job; stand still, and consider the wondrous works of God.

15 D ost thou know when God disposed them and caused the light of his cloud to shine?

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

17 H ow thy garments are warm, when he quiets the earth by the south wind?

18 H ast thou with him spread out the sky, which is strong and as a molten looking glass?

19 T each us what we should say unto him; for we cannot order our speech by reason of darkness.

20 S hall it be told him when I speak? When someone is swallowed up shall it be told him?

21 ¶ Also, sometimes the clear light which is in the heavens is not seen, but the wind passes and cleanses them.

22 F air weather comes out of the north; with God is terrible majesty.

23 T ouching the Almighty, we cannot find him out; he is excellent in power and in judgment, and in plenty of righteousness he will not afflict.

24 M en, therefore, shall fear him; all the crafty of heart shall not see him.
