The
Speech of Elihu (continued)
37:1 At this also my heart trembleth, and is moved
out of his place.
37:2 Hear attentively the noise of his voice, and the sound
that goeth out of his mouth.
37:3 He directeth it under the whole heaven, and his
lightning unto the ends of the earth.
37:4 After it a voice roareth: he thundereth with the voice
of his excellency; and he will not stay them when his voice
is heard.
37:5 God thundereth marvellously with his voice; great
things doeth he, which we cannot comprehend.
37:6 For he saith to the snow, Be thou on the earth;
likewise to the small rain, and to the great rain of his
strength.
37:7 He sealeth up the hand of every man; that all men may
know his work.
37:8 Then the beasts go into dens, and remain in their
places.
37:9 Out of the south cometh the whirlwind: and cold out of
the north.
37:10 By the breath of God frost is given: and the breadth
of the waters is straitened.
37:11 Also by watering he wearieth the thick cloud: he
scattereth his bright cloud:
37:12 And it is turned round about by his counsels: that
they may do whatsoever he commandeth them upon the face of
the world in the earth.
37:13 He causeth it to come, whether for correction, or for
his land, or for mercy.
37:14 Hearken unto this, O Job: stand still, and consider
the wondrous works of God.
37:15 Dost thou know when God disposed them, and caused the
light of his cloud to shine?
37:16 Dost thou know the balancings of the clouds, the
wondrous works of him which is perfect in knowledge?
37:17 How thy garments are warm, when he quieteth the earth
by the south wind?
37:18 Hast thou with him spread out the sky, which is
strong, and as a molten looking glass?
37:19 Teach us what we shall say unto him; for we cannot
order our speech by reason of darkness.
37:20 Shall it be told him that I speak? if a man speak,
surely he shall be swallowed up.
37:21 And now men see not the bright light which is in the
clouds: but the wind passeth, and cleanseth them.
37:22 Fair weather cometh out of the north: with God is
terrible majesty.
37:23 Touching the Almighty, we cannot find him out: he is
excellent in power, and in judgment, and in plenty of
justice: he will not afflict.
37:24 Men do therefore fear him: he respecteth not any that
are wise of heart. |
