1My heart trembles at this also, and it leaps out of its place. 2Listen carefully to the thunder of His voice, and the rumbling that comes out of His mouth. 3He loosens it under the whole heavens, and His lightning to the ends of the earth. 4After it a voice roars; He thunders with the voice of His majesty, and He will not hold them when His voice is heard. 5God thunders marvelously with His voice; He does great things, and we do not understand. 6For He says to the snow, Fall [on] the earth; also to the shower of rain, and to the shower of [heavy] rains in its strength. 7He seals up the hand of every man, so that all men may know His work. 8Then the beast goes into its lair, and it remains in its dens. 9Out of the storeroom comes the tempest; and cold from scattering winds. 10By the breath of God ice is given; and the expanse of waters is frozen tight. 11Also He loads the clouds with moisture; He scatters the lightning cloud, 12and it is turned around by His guidance, so that they may do whatever He commands them on the face of the world in the earth. 13Whether as a whip, or for His land, or for mercy, He finds it. 14Listen to this, Job; stand still, and consider the wonderful works of God. 15Do you know when God placed them, and caused the lightning of His cloud to shine? 16Do you know the balancing of the clouds, the wonderful works of Him who is perfect in knowledge? 17You whose clothes warm when He quiets the earth from the south wind? 18Have you beat out the expanse with Him, hard like a cast mirror? 19Teach us what we shall say to Him; [for] because of darkness we cannot arrange our case. 20Shall it be told Him that I would speak? If a man speaks, surely he shall be swallowed up. 21And now men cannot look upon the light; it [is] in the clouds; but the wind passes and clears them. 22Golden [splendor] comes out of the north; God [is] awesome in His majesty. 23The Almighty, whom we cannot find out, [is] exalted in power; and to judgment and overflowing righteousness He does no violence. 24Therefore, men fear Him; He does not respect any [who are] wise in heart.
