¹ At this also my heart trembleth, and is moued out of his place. ² Heare attentiuely the noise of his voice, and the sound that goeth out of his mouth. ³ Hee directeth it vnder the whole heauen, and his lightning vnto the ends of the earth. ⁴ After it a voyce roareth: he thundreth with the voice of his excellencie, and hee will not stay them when his voice is heard. ⁵ God thundereth maruellously with his voice: great things doth hee, which we cannot comprehend.

⁶ For he saith to the snow, Be thou on the earth: likewise to the small raine, and to the great raine of his strength. ⁷ He sealeth vp the hand of euery man; that all men may knowe his worke. ⁸ Then the beastes goe into dennes: and remaine in their places. ⁹ Out of the South commeth the whirlewinde: and cold out of the North. ¹⁰ By the breath of God, frost is giuen: and the breadth of the waters is straitned. ¹¹ Also by watring he wearieth the thicke cloud: hee scattereth his bright cloud. ¹² And it is turned round about by his counsels: that they may doe whatsoeuer hee commaundeth them vpon the face of the world in the earth. ¹³ He causeth it to come, whether for correction, or for his land, or for mercy.

¹⁴ Hearken vnto this, O Iob: stand still, and consider the wondrous workes of God. ¹⁵ Doest thou knowe when God disposed them, and caused the light of his cloud to shine? ¹⁶ Doest thou know the ballancings of the clouds, the wondrous workes of him which is perfect in knowledge? ¹⁷ How thy garments are warme, when hee quieteth the earth by the South wind? ¹⁸ Hast thou with him spread out the skie, which is strong, and as a molten looking glasse? ¹⁹ Teach vs what we shall say vnto him; for we cannot order our speach by reason of darknes. ²⁰ Shall it bee told him that I speake? if a man speake, surely he shalbe swallowed vp.

²¹ And nowe men see not the bright light which is in the clouds: but the wind passeth and cleanseth them. ²² Faire weather commeth out of the North: with God is terrible maiestie. ²³ Touching the Almighty, we cannot find him out: he is excellent in power, and in iudgement, and in plenty of iustice: he will not afflict. ²⁴ Men doe therefore feare him: he respecteth not any that are wise of heart.
