^{1 Ref} "Yes, at this my heart trembles, And is moved out of its place.

^{2 Ref} Hear, oh, hear the noise of his voice, The sound that goes out of his mouth.

^{3 Ref} He sends it forth under the whole sky, And his lightning to the ends of the earth.

^{4 Ref} After it a voice roars. He thunders with the voice of his majesty; He doesn't hold back anything when his voice is heard.

^{5 Ref} God thunders marvelously with his voice. He does great things, which we can't comprehend.

^{6 Ref} For he says to the snow, 'Fall on the earth;' Likewise to the shower of rain, And to the showers of his mighty rain.

^{7 Ref} He seals up the hand of every man, That all men whom he has made may know it.

^{8 Ref} Then the animals take cover, And remain in their dens.

^{9 Ref} Out of its chamber comes the storm, And cold out of the north.

^{10 Ref} By the breath of God, ice is given, And the breadth of the waters is frozen.

^{11 Ref} Yes, he loads the thick cloud with moisture. He spreads abroad the cloud of his lightning.

^{12 Ref} It is turned round about by his guidance, That they may do whatever he commands them On the surface of the habitable world,

^{13 Ref} Whether it is for correction, or for his land, Or for loving kindness, that he causes it to come.

^{14 Ref} "Listen to this, Job: Stand still, and consider the wondrous works of God.

^{15 Ref} Do you know how God controls them, And causes the lightning of his cloud to shine?

^{16 Ref} Do you know the workings of the clouds, The wondrous works of him who is perfect in knowledge?

^{17 Ref} You whose clothing is warm, When the earth is still by reason of the south wind?

^{18 Ref} Can you, with him, spread out the sky, Which is strong as a cast metal mirror?

^{19 Ref} Teach us what we shall tell him; For we can't make our case by reason of darkness.

^{20 Ref} Shall it be told him that I would speak? Or should a man wish that he were swallowed up?

^{21 Ref} Now men don't see the light which is bright in the skies, But the wind passes, and clears them.

^{22 Ref} Out of the north comes golden splendor; With God is awesome majesty.

^{23 Ref} We can't reach the Almighty, He is exalted in power; In justice and great righteousness he will not oppress.

^{24 Ref} Therefore men revere him. He doesn't regard any who are wise of heart."

^{1 Ref} Also, at this my heart trembleth, And it moveth from its place.

^{2 Ref} Hearken diligently to the trembling of His voice, Yea, the sound from His mouth goeth forth.

^{3 Ref} Under the whole heavens He directeth it, And its light `is' over the skirts of the earth.

^{4 Ref} After it roar doth a voice -- He thundereth with the voice of His excellency, And He doth not hold them back, When His voice is heard.

^{5 Ref} God thundereth with His voice wonderfully, Doing great things and we know not.

^{6 Ref} For to snow He saith, `Be `on' the earth.' And the small rain and great rain of His power.

^{7 Ref} Into the hand of every man he sealeth, For the knowledge by all men of His work.

^{8 Ref} And enter doth the beast into covert, And in its habitations it doth continue.

^{9 Ref} From the inner chamber cometh a hurricane, And from scatterings winds -- cold,

^{10 Ref} From the breath of God is frost given, And the breadth of waters is straitened,

^{11 Ref} Yea, by filling He doth press out a cloud, Scatter a cloud doth His light.

^{12 Ref} And it is turning itself round by His counsels, For their doing all He commandeth them, On the face of the habitable earth.

^{13 Ref} Whether for a rod, or for His land, Or for kindness -- He doth cause it to come.

^{14 Ref} Hear this, O Job, Stand and consider the wonders of God.

^{15 Ref} Dost thou know when God doth place them, And caused to shine the light of His cloud?

^{16 Ref} Dost thou know the balancings of a cloud? The wonders of the Perfect in knowledge?

^{17 Ref} How thy garments `are' warm, In the quieting of the earth from the south?

^{18 Ref} Thou hast made an expanse with Him For the clouds -- strong as a hard mirror!

^{19 Ref} Let us know what we say to Him, We set not in array because of darkness.

^{20 Ref} Is it declared to Him that I speak? If a man hath spoken, surely he is swallowed up.

^{21 Ref} And now, they have not seen the light, Bright it `is' in the clouds, And the wind hath passed by and cleanseth them.

^{22 Ref} From the golden north it cometh, Beside God `is' fearful honour.

^{23 Ref} The Mighty! we have not found Him out, High in power and judgment, He doth not answer! And abundant in righteousness,

^{24 Ref} Therefore do men fear Him, He seeth not any of the wise of heart.

^{1 Ref} At this my heart is shaking; it is moved out of its place.

^{2 Ref} Give ear to the rolling noise of his voice; to the hollow sound which goes out of his mouth.

^{3 Ref} He sends it out through all the heaven, and his thunder-flame to the ends of the earth.

^{4 Ref} After it a voice is sounding, thundering out the word of his power; he does not keep back his thunder-flames; from his mouth his voice is sounding.

^{5 Ref} He does wonders, more than may be searched out; great things of which we have no knowledge;

^{6 Ref} For he says to the snow, Make the earth wet; and to the rain-storm, Come down.

^{7 Ref} He puts an end to the work of every man, so that all may see his work.

^{8 Ref} Then the beasts go into their holes, and take their rest.

^{9 Ref} Out of its place comes the storm-wind, and the cold out of its store-houses.

^{10 Ref} By the breath of God ice is made, and the wide waters are shut in.

^{11 Ref} The thick cloud is weighted with thunder-flame, and the cloud sends out its light;

^{12 Ref} And it goes this way and that, round about, turning itself by his guiding, to do whatever he gives orders to be done, on the face of his world of men,

^{13 Ref} For a rod, or for a curse, or for mercy, causing it to come on the mark.

^{14 Ref} Give ear to this, O Job, and keep quiet in your place; and take note of the wonders worked by God.

^{15 Ref} Have you knowledge of God's ordering of his works, how he makes the light of his cloud to be seen?

^{16 Ref} Have you knowledge of the balancings of the clouds, the wonders of him who has all wisdom?

^{17 Ref} You, whose clothing is warm, when the earth is quiet because of the south wind,

^{18 Ref} Will you, with him, make the skies smooth, and strong as a polished looking-glass?

^{19 Ref} Make clear to me what we are to say to him; we are unable to put our cause before him, because of the dark.

^{20 Ref} How may he have knowledge of my desire for talk with him? or did any man ever say, May destruction come on me?

^{21 Ref} And now the light is not seen, for it is dark because of the clouds; but a wind comes, clearing them away.

^{22 Ref} A bright light comes out of the north; God's glory is greatly to be feared.

^{23 Ref} There is no searching out of the Ruler of all: his strength and his judging are great; he is full of righteousness, doing no wrong.

^{24 Ref} For this cause men go in fear of him; he has no respect for any who are wise in heart.
