| 1 | At this also my heart trembleth, And is moved out of its place. |
| 2 | Hear attentively the noise of His voice, And the sound that goeth out of His mouth. |
| 3 | He sendeth it forth 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 majesty; And He stayeth them not 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: ‘Fall thou on the earth’; Likewise to the shower of rain, and to the showers of His mighty rain. |
| 7 | He sealeth up the hand of every man, That all men whom He hath made may know it. |
| 8 | Then the beasts go into coverts, And remain in their dens. |
| 9 | Out of the Chamber cometh the storm; And cold out of the north. |
| 10 | By the breath of God ice is given, And the breadth of the waters is straitened. |
| 11 | Yea, He ladeth the thick cloud with moister, He spreadeth abroad the cloud of His lightning; |
| 12 | And they are turned round about by His guidance, That they may do whatsoever He commandeth them Upon the face of the habitable world: |
| 13 | Whether it be for correction, or for His earth, Or for mercy, that He cause it to come. |
| 14 | Hearken unto this, O Job; Stand still, and consider the wondrous works of God. |
| 15 | Dost thou know how God enjoineth them, And causeth the lightning of His cloud to shine? |
| 16 | Dost thou know the balancings of the clouds, The wondrous works of Him who is perfect in knowledge? |
| 17 | Thou whose garments are warm, When the earth is still by reason of the south wind; |
| 18 | Canst thou with Him spread out the sky, Which is strong as a molten mirror? |
| 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 would speak? Or should a man wish that he were swallowed up? |
| 21 | And now men see not the light which is bright in the skies; But the wind passeth, and cleanseth them. |
| 22 | Out of the north cometh golden splendour, About God is terrible majesty. |
| 23 | The Almighty, whom we cannot find out, is excellent in power, Yet to judgment and plenteous justice He doeth no violence. |
| 24 | Men do therefore fear Him; He regardeth not any that are wise of heart. |
