1 | Also, at this my heart trembleth, And it moveth from its place. |
2 | Hearken diligently to the trembling of His voice, Yea, the sound from His mouth goeth forth. |
3 | Under the whole heavens He directeth it, And its light [is] over the skirts of the earth. |
4 | After it roar doth a voice -- He thundereth with the voice of His excellency, And He doth not hold them back, When His voice is heard. |
5 | God thundereth with His voice wonderfully, Doing great things and we know not. |
6 | For to snow He saith, `Be [on] the earth.` And the small rain and great rain of His power. |
7 | Into the hand of every man he sealeth, For the knowledge by all men of His work. |
8 | And enter doth the beast into covert, And in its habitations it doth continue. |
9 | From the inner chamber cometh a hurricane, And from scatterings winds -- cold, |
10 | From the breath of God is frost given, And the breadth of waters is straitened, |
11 | Yea, by filling He doth press out a cloud, Scatter a cloud doth His light. |
12 | And it is turning itself round by His counsels, For their doing all He commandeth them, On the face of the habitable earth. |
13 | Whether for a rod, or for His land, Or for kindness -- He doth cause it to come. |
14 | Hear this, O Job, Stand and consider the wonders of God. |
15 | Dost thou know when God doth place them, And caused to shine the light of His cloud? |
16 | Dost thou know the balancings of a cloud? The wonders of the Perfect in knowledge? |
17 | How thy garments [are] warm, In the quieting of the earth from the south? |
18 | Thou hast made an expanse with Him For the clouds -- strong as a hard mirror! |
19 | Let us know what we say to Him, We set not in array because of darkness. |
20 | Is it declared to Him that I speak? If a man hath spoken, surely he is swallowed up. |
21 | And now, they have not seen the light, Bright it [is] in the clouds, And the wind hath passed by and cleanseth them. |
22 | From the golden north it cometh, Beside God [is] fearful honour. |
23 | The Mighty! we have not found Him out, High in power and judgment, He doth not answer! And abundant in righteousness, |
24 | Therefore do men fear Him, He seeth not any of the wise of heart. |
