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 directeth it under the whole heaven, and his lightning to the ends of the earth.⁴ After it a voice roareth: he thundereth with the voice of his excellence; and he will not stay them when his voice is heard.⁵ God thundereth marvelously with his voice; great things he doeth, which we cannot comprehend.

⁶ For he saith to the snow, Be thou [on] the earth; likewise to the small rain, and to the great rain of his strength.⁷ He sealeth up the hand of every man; that all men may know his work.⁸ Then the beasts go into dens, and remain in their places.⁹ From the south cometh the whirlwind: and cold from the north.¹⁰ By the breath of God frost is given: and the breadth of the waters is straitened.¹¹ Also by watering he wearieth the thick cloud: he scattereth his bright cloud:¹² And it is turned around by his counsels: that they may do whatever he commandeth them upon the face of the world on the earth.¹³ He causeth it to come, whether for correction, or for his land, or for mercy.

¹⁴ Hearken to this, O Job: stand still, and consider the wondrous works of God.¹⁵ Dost thou know when God disposed them, and caused the light 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 How thy garments [are] warm, when he quieteth the earth by the south [wind]?¹⁸ Hast thou with him spread out the sky [which is] strong, [and] as a molten looking-glass?¹⁹ Teach us what we shall say to him; [for] we cannot order [our speech] by reason of darkness.²⁰ Shall it be told him that I speak? If a man shall speak, surely he will be swallowed up.

²¹ And now [men] see not the bright light which [is] in the clouds: but the wind passeth, and cleanseth them.²² Fair weather cometh from the north: with God [is] terrible majesty.²³ [Touching] the Almighty, we cannot find him out: [he is] excellent in power, and in judgment, and in abundance of justice: he will not afflict.²⁴ Men therefore fear him: he respecteth not any [that are] wise of heart.
