Job 37 - American Standard Version 2015

¹ Yea, at this my heart trembleth,\par\tab And is moved out of its place.

² Hear, oh, hear the noise of his voice,\par\tab And the sound that goeth out of his mouth.

³ He sendeth it forth under the whole heaven,\par\tab And his lightning unto the ends of the earth.

⁴ After it a voice roareth;\par\tab He thundereth with the voice of his majesty;\par\tab And he restraineth not {\i the lightnings} when his voice is heard

⁵ God thundereth marvellously with his voice;\par\tab Great things doeth he, which we cannot comprehend.

⁶ For he saith to the snow, Fall thou on the earth;\par\tab Likewise to the shower of rain,\par\tab And to the showers of his mighty rain.

⁷ He sealeth up the hand of every man,\par\tab That all men whom he hath made may know {\i it}.

⁸ Then the beasts go into coverts,\par\tab And remain in their dens.

⁹ Out of the chamber {\i of the south} cometh the storm,\par\tab And cold out of the north.

¹⁰ By the breath of God ice is given;\par\tab And the breadth of the waters is straitened.

¹¹ Yea, he ladeth the thick cloud with moisture;\par\tab He spreadeth abroad the cloud of his lightning:

¹² And it is turned round about by his guidance,\par\tab That they may do whatsoever he commandeth them\par\tab Upon the face of the habitable world,

¹³ Whether it be for correction, or for his land,\par\tab Or for lovingkindness, that he cause it to come.\par

¹⁴ Hearken unto this, O Job:\par\tab Stand still, and consider the wondrous works of God.

¹⁵ Dost thou know how God layeth {\i his charge} upon them,\par\tab And causeth the lightning of his cloud to shine?

¹⁶ Dost thou know the balancings of the clouds,\par\tab The wondrous works of him who is perfect in knowledge?

¹⁷ How thy garments are warm,\par\tab When the earth is still by reason of the south {\i wind}?

¹⁸ Canst thou with him spread out the sky,\par\tab Which is strong as a molten mirror?

¹⁹ Teach us what we shall say unto him;\par\tab {\i For} we cannot set {\i our speech} in order by reason of darkness.

²⁰ Shall it be told him that I would speak?\par\tab Or should a man wish that he were swallowed up?\par

²¹ And now men see not the light which is bright in the skies;\par\tab But the wind passeth, and cleareth them.

²² Out of the north cometh golden splendor:\par\tab God hath upon him terrible majesty.

²³ {\i Touching} the Almighty, we cannot find him out:\par\tab He is excellent in power;\par\tab And in justice and plenteous righteousness he will not afflict.

²⁴ Men do therefore fear him:\par\tab He regardeth not any that are wise of heart.\par
