World English Bible Classic
[1] “Yes, at this my heart trembles,
and is moved out of its place.
[2] Hear, oh, hear the noise of his voice,
the sound that goes out of his mouth.
[3] He sends it out under the whole sky,
and his lightning to the ends of the earth.
[4] After it a voice roars.
He thunders with the voice of his majesty.
He doesn’t hold back anything when his voice is heard.
[5] God thunders marvelously with his voice.
He does great things, which we can’t comprehend.
[6] For he says to the snow, ‘Fall on the earth,’
likewise to the shower of rain,
and to the showers of his mighty rain.
[7] He seals up the hand of every man,
that all men whom he has made may know it.
[8] Then the animals take cover,
and remain in their dens.
[9] Out of its room comes the storm,
and cold out of the north.
[10] By the breath of God, ice is given,
and the width of the waters is frozen.
[11] Yes, he loads the thick cloud with moisture.
He spreads abroad the cloud of his lightning.
[12] It is turned around by his guidance,
that they may do whatever he commands them
on the surface of the habitable world,
[13] whether it is for correction, or for his land,
or for loving kindness, that he causes it to come. [14] “Listen to this, Job.
Stand still, and consider the wondrous works of God.
[15] Do you know how God controls them,
and causes the lightning of his cloud to shine?
[16] Do you know the workings of the clouds,
the wondrous works of him who is perfect in knowledge?
[17] You whose clothing is warm
when the earth is still by reason of the south wind?
[18] Can you, with him, spread out the sky,
which is strong as a cast metal mirror?
[19] Teach us what we will tell him,
for we can’t make our case by reason of darkness.
[20] Will it be told him that I would speak?
Or should a man wish that he were swallowed up? [21] Now men don’t see the light which is bright in the skies,
but the wind passes, and clears them.
[22] Out of the north comes golden splendor.
With God is awesome majesty.
[23] We can’t reach the Almighty.
He is exalted in power.
In justice and great righteousness, he will not oppress.
[24] Therefore men revere him.
He doesn’t regard any who are wise of heart.”

King James Version
[1] At this H2063 also my heart H3820 trembleth, H2729 (QalImpf)
And is moved out H5425 (QalImpf) of his place. H4725
[2] Hear H8085 (QalImpv) attentively H8085 (QalInf)§ the noise H7267 of his voice, H6963
And the sound H1899 that goeth out H3318 (QalImpf) of his mouth. H6310
[3] He directeth H3474 (PielPerf) it H8281 (QalImpf) under the whole heaven, H8064
And his lightning H216§ unto the ends H3671 of the earth. H776§
[4] After H310 it a voice H6963 roareth: H7580 (QalImpf)
He thundereth H7481 (HiphImpf) with the voice H6963 of his excellency; H1347
And he will not stay H6117 (PielImpf) them when his voice H6963 is heard. H8085 (NiphImpf)
[5] God H410 thundereth H7481 (HiphImpf) marvellously H6381 (NiphPtc) with his voice; H6963
Great things H1419 doeth H6213 (QalActPtc) he, which we cannot comprehend. H3045 (QalImpf)
[6] For he saith H559 (QalImpf) to the snow, H7950 Be thou H1933 (QalImpv) on the earth; H776
Likewise to the small H4306 rain, H1653
And to the great H4306 rain H1653 of his strength. H5797§
[7] He sealeth up H2856 (QalImpf) the hand H3027 of every man; H120
That all men H582 may know H3045 (QalInf) his work. H4639
[8] Then the beasts H2416 go H935 (QalImpf) into H1119 dens, H695
And remain H7931 (QalImpf) in their places. H4585
[9] Out of the south H2315§ cometh H935 (QalImpf) the whirlwind: H5492
And cold H7135 out of the north. H4215§
[10] By the breath H5397 of God H410 frost H7140 is given: H5414 (QalImpf)
And the breadth H7341 of the waters H4325 is straitened. H4164
[11] Also by watering H7377 he wearieth H2959 (HiphImpf) the thick cloud: H5645
He scattereth H6327 (HiphImpf) his bright H216 cloud: H6051§
[12] And it is turned H2015 (HithPtc) round about H4524 by his counsels: H8458
That they may do H6467 whatsoever he commandeth H6680 (PielImpf) them
Upon the face H6440 of the world H8398 in the earth. H776
[13] He causeth it to come, H4672 (HiphImpf) whether for correction, H7626§ or for his land, H776 or for mercy. H2617
[14] Hearken H238 (HiphImpv) unto this, O Job: H347
Stand still, H5975 (QalImpv) and consider H995 (HiplImpv) the wondrous H6381 (NiphPtc) works of God. H410
[15] Dost thou know H3045 (QalImpf) when God H433 disposed H7760 (QalInf) them,
And caused the light H216 of his cloud H6051 to shine? H3313 (HiphPerf)
[16] Dost thou know H3045 (QalImpf) the balancings H4657 of the clouds, H5645
The wondrous works H4652 of him which is perfect H8549 in knowledge? H1843
[17] How thy garments H899 are warm, H2525
When he quieteth H8252 (HiphInf) the earth H776 by the south H1864 wind?
[18] Hast thou with him spread out H7554 (HiphImpf) the sky, H7834
Which is strong, H2389 and as a molten H3332 (HophPtc) looking glass? H7209
[19] Teach H3045 (HiphImpv) us what we shall say H559 (QalImpf) unto him;
For we cannot order H6186 (QalImpf) our speech by reason H6440 of darkness. H2822
[20] Shall it be told H5608 (PualImpf) him that I speak? H1696 (PielImpf)
If a man H376 speak, H559 (QalPerf) surely he shall be swallowed up. H1104 (PualImpf)
[21] And now men see H7200 (QalPerf) not the bright H925 light H216
Which is in the clouds: H7834
But the wind H7307 passeth, H5674 (QalPerf) and cleanseth H2891 (PielImpf) them.
[22] Fair§ weather H2091 cometh H857 (QalImpf) out of the north: H6828
With God H433 is terrible H3372 (NiphPtc) majesty. H1935
[23] Touching the Almighty, H7706 we cannot find him out: H4672 (QalPerf)
He is excellent H7689 in power, H3581 and in judgment, H4941
And in plenty H7230 of justice: H6666 he will not afflict. H6031 (PielImpf)
[24] Men H582 do therefore fear H3372 (QalPerf) him:
He respecteth H7200 (QalImpf) not any that are wise H2450 of heart. H3820
And is moved out H5425 (QalImpf) of his place. H4725
[2] Hear H8085 (QalImpv) attentively H8085 (QalInf)§ the noise H7267 of his voice, H6963
And the sound H1899 that goeth out H3318 (QalImpf) of his mouth. H6310
[3] He directeth H3474 (PielPerf) it H8281 (QalImpf) under the whole heaven, H8064
