37:1  "At this also my heart trembles, and leaps out of its place.

37:2  Hearken to the thunder of his voice and the rumbling that comes from his mouth.

37:3  Under the whole heaven he lets it go, and his lightning to the corners of the earth.

37:4  After it his voice roars; he thunders with his majestic voice and he does not restrain the lightnings when his voice is heard.

37:5  God thunders wondrously with his voice; he does great things which we cannot comprehend.

37:6  For to the snow he says, 'Fall on the earth'; and to the shower and the rain, 'Be strong.'

37:7  He seals up the hand of every man, that all men may know his work.

37:8  Then the beasts go into their lairs, and remain in their dens.

37:9  From its chamber comes the whirlwind, and cold from the scattering winds.

37:10  By the breath of God ice is given, and the broad waters are frozen fast.

37:11  He loads the thick cloud with moisture; the clouds scatter his lightning.

37:12  They turn round and round by his guidance, to accomplish all that he commands them on the face of the habitable world.

37:13  Whether for correction, or for his land, or for love, he causes it to happen.

37:14  "Hear this, O Job; stop and consider the wondrous works of God.

37:15  Do you know how God lays his command upon them, and causes the lightning of his cloud to shine?

37:16  Do you know the balancings of the clouds, the wondrous works of him who is perfect in knowledge,

37:17  you whose garments are hot when the earth is still because of the south wind?

37:18  Can you, like him, spread out the skies, hard as a molten mirror?

37:19  Teach us what we shall say to him; we cannot draw up our case because of darkness.

37:20  Shall it be told him that I would speak? Did a man ever wish that he would be swallowed up?

37:21  "And now men cannot look on the light when it is bright in the skies, when the wind has passed and cleared them.

37:22  Out of the north comes golden splendor; God is clothed with terrible majesty.

37:23  The Almighty--we cannot find him; he is great in power and justice, and abundant righteousness he will not violate.

37:24  Therefore men fear him; he does not regard any who are wise in their own conceit."
