King James VersionJob37

Job

1 At this also my heart trem­bleth, and is moved out of his 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 unto the ends of the earth. 4 Af­ter it a voice roareth: he thun­dereth with the voice of his ex­cel­len­cy; and he will not stay them when his voice is heard. 5 God thun­dereth mar­vel­lous­ly with his voice; great things doeth he, 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 Out of the south cometh the whirl­wind: and cold out of 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 round about by his coun­sels: that they may do what­so­ev­er he com­man­deth them upon the face of the world in the earth. 13 He causeth it to come, whether for cor­rec­tion, or for his land, or for mer­cy. 14 Hear­ken unto 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 which 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 unto him; for we can­not or­der our speech by rea­son of dark­ness. 20 Shall it be told him that I speak? if a man speak, sure­ly he shall 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 out of 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 plen­ty of jus­tice: he will not af­flict. 24 Men do there­fore fear him: he re­specteth not any that are wise of heart.
