Job 37:6 - Jamieson, Fausset, and Brown

Job 37:6

Compare all

4 After it ^aa 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;
^aHe does great things which we cannot comprehend.

6 For ^aHe says to the snow, ‘Fall on the earth’;
Likewise to the¹ gentle rain and the heavy rain of His strength.

7 He seals the hand of every man,
^aThat ^ball men may know His work.

8 The beasts ^ago 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 ^aBy the breath of God ice is given,
And the broad waters are frozen.

11 Also with moisture He saturates the thick clouds;
He scatters His¹ bright clouds.

12 And they swirl about, being turned by His guidance,
That they may ^ado whatever He commands them
On the face of¹ the whole earth.

13 ^aHe causes it to come,
Whether for¹ correction,
Or ^bfor His land,
Or ^cfor mercy.

14 “Listen to this, O Job;
Stand still and ^aconsider the wondrous works of God.

15 Do you know when God¹ dispatches them,
And causes the light of His cloud to shine?
