¹ At this also mine heart is astonied, & is mooued out of his place.² Heare the sound of his voyce, and the noyse that goeth out of his mouth.³ He directeth it vnder the whole heauen, and his light vnto the endes of the world.⁴ After it a noyse soundeth: hee thundereth with the voyce of his maiestie, and hee will not stay them when his voyce is heard.⁵ God thundereth marueilously wt his voyce: he worketh great things, which we know not.

⁶ For he sayth to the snowe, Be thou vpon the earth: likewise to the small rayne and to the great rayne of his power.⁷ With the force thereof he shutteth vp euery man, that all men may knowe his worke.⁸ Then the beastes go into the denne, and remaine in their places.⁹ The whirlewind commeth out of the South, and the colde from the North winde.¹⁰ At the breath of God the frost is giuen, & the breadth of the waters is made narrowe.¹¹ He maketh also the cloudes to labour, to water the earth, and scattereth the cloude of his light.¹² And it is turned about by his gouernment, that they may doe whatsoeuer he commandeth them vpon the whole worlde:¹³ Whether it be for punishment, or for his lande, or of mercie, he causeth it to come.

¹⁴ Hearken vnto this, O Iob: stand and consider the wonderous workes of God.¹⁵ Diddest thou knowe when God disposed them? & caused the light of his cloud to shine?¹⁶ Hast thou knowen the varietie of the cloude, and the wonderous workes of him, that is perfite in knowledge?¹⁷ Or howe thy clothes are warme, when he maketh the earth quiet through the South winde?¹⁸ Hast thou stretched out the heaues, which are strong, and as a molten glasse?¹⁹ Tell vs what we shall say vnto him: for we can not dispose our matter because of darknes.²⁰ Shall it be told him when I speake? or shall man speake when he shalbe destroyed?

²¹ And nowe men see not the light, which shineth in the cloudes, but the winde passeth and clenseth them.²² The brightnesse commeth out of the North: the praise thereof is to God, which is terrible.²³ It is the Almightie: we can not finde him out: he is excellent in power and iudgement, & aboundant in iustice: he afflicteth not.²⁴ Let men therefore feare him: for he will not regarde any that are wise in their owne conceit.
