¹ "At this also my heart trembles, And leaps from its place. ² Hear attentively the thunder of His voice, And the rumbling that comes from His mouth. ³ He sends it forth under the whole heaven, His lightning to the ends of the earth. ⁴ After it a voice roars; He thunders with His majestic voice, And He does not restrain them when His voice is heard. ⁵ God thunders marvelously with His voice; He does great things which we cannot comprehend.

⁶ For He says to the snow, "Fall on the earth'; Likewise to the gentle rain and the heavy rain of His strength. ⁷ He seals the hand of every man, That all men may know His work. ⁸ The beasts go into dens, And remain in their lairs. ⁹ From the chamber of the south comes the whirlwind, And cold from the scattering winds of the north. ¹⁰ By the breath of God ice is given, And the broad waters are frozen. ¹¹ Also with moisture He saturates the thick clouds; He scatters His bright clouds. ¹² And they swirl about, being turned by His guidance,That they may do whatever He commands themOn the face of the whole earth. [fn] ¹³ He causes it to come, Whether for correction, Or for His land, Or for mercy.

¹⁴ "Listen to this, O Job; Stand still and consider the wondrous works of God. ¹⁵ Do you know when God dispatches them, And causes the light of His cloud to shine? ¹⁶ Do you know how the clouds are balanced, Those wondrous works of Him who is perfect in knowledge? ¹⁷ Why are your garments hot, When He quiets the earth by the south wind? ¹⁸ With Him, have you spread out the skies, Strong as a cast metal mirror? ¹⁹ "Teach us what we should say to Him, For we can prepare nothing because of the darkness. ²⁰ Should He be told that I wish to speak? If a man were to speak, surely he would be swallowed up.

²¹ Even now men cannot look at the light when it is bright in the skies, When the wind has passed and cleared them. ²² He comes from the north as golden splendor; With God is awesome majesty. ²³ As for the Almighty, we cannot find Him; He is excellent in power, In judgment and abundant justice; He does not oppress. ²⁴ Therefore men fear Him; He shows no partiality to any who are wise of heart."
