Job 37 (WEBP)

[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 w/Strong’s #s

Job 37 (KJVS)

[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.
