¹ At this also my heart trembleth, and is moved out of its place.² Hear attentively the noise of His voice, and the sound that goeth out of His mouth.³ He sendeth it forth under the whole heaven, and His lightning unto the ends of the earth.⁴ After it a voice roareth; He thundereth with the voice of His majesty; ⁵ God thundereth marvellously with His voice; great things doeth He, which we cannot comprehend.

⁶ For He saith to the snow: 'Fall thou on the earth'; ⁷ He sealeth up the hand of every man, that all men whom He hath made may know it.⁸ Then the beasts go into coverts, and remain in their dens.⁹ Out of the Chamber cometh the storm; and cold out of the north.¹⁰ By the breath of God ice is given, and the breadth of the waters is straitened.¹¹ Yea, He ladeth the thick cloud with moister, He spreadeth abroad the cloud of His lightning;¹² And they are turned round about by His guidance, that they may do ¹³ Whether it be for correction, or for His earth, or for mercy, that He cause it to come.

¹⁴ Hearken unto this, O Job; stand still, and consider the wondrous works of God.¹⁵ Dost thou know how God enjoineth them, and causeth the lightning of His cloud to shine?¹⁶ Dost thou know the balancings of the clouds, the wondrous works of Him who is perfect in knowledge?¹⁷ Thou whose garments are warm, when the earth is still by reason of the south wind;¹⁸ Canst thou with Him spread out the sky, which is strong as a molten mirror?¹⁹ Teach us what we shall say unto Him; for we cannot order our speech by reason of darkness.²⁰ Shall it be told Him that I would speak? Or should a man wish that he were swallowed up?

²¹ And now men see not the light which is bright in the skies; ²² Out of the north cometh golden splendour, about God is terrible majesty.²³ The Almighty, whom we cannot find out, is excellent in power, yet to judgment and plenteous justice He doeth no violence.²⁴ Men do therefore fear Him; He regardeth not any that are wise of heart.
