1. At this also my heart trembles, and is moved out of its place.
2. Hear attentively the noise of his voice, and the sound that goes out of his mouth.
3. He directs it under the whole heaven, and his lightning to the ends of the earth.
4. After it a voice roars: he thunders with the voice of his excellence; and he will not hold back the tempest 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, Come down on the earth; likewise to the small rain, and to the great rain in its strength.
7. He seals up the hand of every man from labor; that all men may understand his work.
8. Then the beasts go into dens, and remain in their places.
9. Out of the south comes the whirlwind: and cold out of the north.
10. By the breath of God frost is given: and the breadth of the waters is frozen.
11. Also through watering he exhausts the thick cloud: he scatters his bright cloud:
12. And it is turned round about by his counsels: that they may do whatever he commands them upon the face of the whole world.

14. Listen to this, O Job: stand still, and consider the wondrous works of God.
15. Do you know when God arranged them, and caused the light of his cloud to shine?
16. Do you know the balancings of the clouds, the wondrous works of him who is perfect in knowledge?
17. How your garments are warm, when he quiets the earth by the south wind?
18. Have you with him spread out the sky, which is strong, and like a molten looking glass?
19. Teach us what we shall say unto him; for we cannot order our speech because of darkness.
20. Shall it be told him that I speak? if a man speaks, surely he shall be swallowed up.
21. And now men do not see the bright light which is behind the clouds: but the wind passes, and clears them away.
22. Fair weather comes out of the north: with God is awesome majesty.
23. Concerning the Almighty, we cannot find him out: he is excellent in power, and in justice, and in abundance of righteousness: he will not afflict.
24. Men do therefore fear him: he does not regard any that are wise of heart.
