CHAPTER 37

At this

my heart

also

pounds

and leaps

from its place.

Listen

closely

to the thunder

of His voice

and the rumbling

that comes

from His mouth.

He unleashes

His lightning

beneath

the whole

sky

and sends it

to the ends

of the earth.

Then

there comes a roaring

sound;

He thunders

with His majestic

voice.

He does not

restrain the lightning

when

His voice

resounds.

God

thunders

wondrously

with His voice;

He does

great things

we cannot

comprehend.

For

He says

to the snow,

‘Fall

on the earth,’

and to the gentle rain,

‘Pour out

a mighty

downpour.’

He seals up

the hand

of every

man,

so that all

men

may know

His work.

The wild animals

enter

their lairs;

they settle down

in their dens.

The tempest

comes

from

its chamber,

and the cold

from the driving north winds.

By the breath

of God

the ice

is formed

and the watery

expanses

are frozen.

He loads

the clouds

with moisture;

He scatters

His lightning

through them.

They

swirl about,

turning round and round

at His direction,

accomplishing

all

that

He commands

over

the face

of all

the earth.

Whether

for punishment

or

for His land,

He accomplishes this

in His loving devotion.

Listen

to this,

Job;

stand still

and consider

the wonders

of God.

Do you know

how God

dispatches

the clouds

or makes the lightning

flash?

Do you understand

how

the clouds

float,

those wonders

of Him who is perfect

in knowledge?

You whose

clothes

get hot

when the land

lies hushed

under the south wind,

can you, like Him,

spread out

the skies

to reflect the heat

like a mirror

of bronze?

Teach

us what

we should say

to Him;

we cannot

draw up our case

when our faces

are in darkness.

Should He be told

that

I want to speak?

Would a man

ask

to be swallowed up?

Now

no one

can gaze

at the sun

when it is

bright

in the skies

after the wind

has swept

them clean.

Out of the north

He comes

in golden splendor;

awesome

majesty

surrounds

Him.

The Almighty

is beyond

our reach;

He is exalted

in power!

In His justice

and great

righteousness,

He does not

oppress.

Therefore,

men

fear Him,

for He is not

partial

to the

wise

in heart.”
