¹ "At this also my heart trembles
    and leaps out of its place.
² Keep listening to the thunder of his voice
    and the rumbling that comes from his mouth.
³ Under the whole heaven he lets it go,
    and his ^(a)lightning to the ^(b)corners of the earth.
⁴ After it ^(c)his voice roars;
    ^(d)he thunders with his majestic voice,
    and he does not restrain the lightnings^[a] when his voice is heard.
⁵ God thunders wondrously with his voice;
    he does ^(e)great things that we cannot ^(f)comprehend.
⁶ For to ^(g)the snow he says, ‘Fall on the earth,'
    likewise to the downpour, his mighty downpour.
⁷ He ^(h)seals up the hand of every man,
    that all men whom he made may ⁽ⁱ⁾know it.
⁸ Then the beasts go into their ^(j)lairs,
    and remain in their ^(k)dens.
⁹ From ^(l)its chamber ^(m)comes the whirlwind,
    and ⁽ⁿ⁾cold from the scattering winds.
¹⁰ By the breath of God ^(o)ice is given,
    and ^(p)the broad waters are frozen fast.
¹¹ He loads the thick cloud with moisture;
    the clouds scatter his lightning.
¹² They ^(q)turn around and around by his ^(r)guidance,
    ^(s)to accomplish all that he commands them
    on the face of ^(t)the habitable world.
¹³ Whether for ^(u)correction or for his ^(v)land
    or for ^(w)love, he causes it to happen.

¹⁴ "Hear this, O Job;
    stop and ^(x)consider the wondrous works of God.
¹⁵ Do you know how God lays his command upon them
    and causes the lightning of his cloud to shine?
¹⁶ Do you know the balancings^[b] of the clouds,
    the wondrous works of him who is ^(y)perfect in knowledge,
¹⁷ you whose garments are hot
    when the earth is still because of the south wind?
¹⁸ Can you, like him, ^(z)spread out the skies,
    hard as a cast metal ^(aa)mirror?
¹⁹ Teach us what we shall say to him;
    we cannot draw up our case because of ^(ab)darkness.
²⁰ Shall it be told him that I would speak?
    Did a man ever wish that he would be swallowed up?

²¹ "And now no one looks on the light
    when it is bright in the skies,
    when the wind has passed and cleared them.
²² Out of the north comes golden splendor;
    God is clothed with ^(ac)awesome majesty.
²³ The Almighty—we ^(ad)cannot find him;
    he is ^(ae)great in power;
    ^(af)justice and abundant righteousness he will not ^(ag)violate.
²⁴ Therefore men ^(ah)fear him;
    he does not regard any who are ^(ai)wise in their own conceit."^[c]
