At this my heart trembleth, and is moved out of its place.
|
2
|
Hear ye attentively the terror of his voice, and the sound that cometh out of his mouth.
|
3
|
He beholdeth under all the heavens, and his light is upon the ends of the earth.
|
4
|
After it a noise shall roar, he shall thunder with the voice of his majesty, and shall not be found out, when his voice shall be heard.
|
5
|
God shall thunder wonderfully with his voice, he that doth great and unsearchable things.
|
6
|
He commandeth the snow to go down upon the earth, and the winter rain, and the shower of his strength.
|
7
|
He sealeth up the hand of all men, that every one may know his works.
|
8
|
Then the beast shall go into his covert, and shall abide in his den.
|
9
|
Out of the inner parts shall a tempest come, and cold out of the north.
|
10
|
When God bloweth there cometh frost, and again the waters are poured out abundantly.
|
11
|
Corn desireth clouds, and the clouds spread their light:
|
12
|
Which go round about, whithersoever the will of him that governeth them shall lead them, to whatsoever he shall command them upon the face of the whole earth:
|
13
|
Whether in one tribe, or in his own land, or in what place soever of his mercy he shall command them to be found.
|
14
|
Hearken to these things, Job: Stand, and consider the wondrous works of God.
|
15
|
Dost thou know when God commanded the rains, to shew his light of his clouds?
|
16
|
Knowest thou the great paths of the clouds, and the perfect knowledges?
|
17
|
Are not thy garments hot, when the south wind blows upon the earth?
|
18
|
Thou perhaps hast made the heavens with him, which are most strong, as if they were of molten brass.
|
19
|
Shew us what we may say to him: for we are wrapped up in darkness.
|
20
|
Who shall tell him the things I speak? even if a man shall speak, he shall be swallowed up.
|
21
|
But now they see not the light: the air on a sudden shall be thickened into clouds, and the wind shall pass and drive them away.
|
22
|
Cold cometh out of the north, and to God praise with fear.
|
23
|
We cannot find him worthily: he is great in strength, and in judgment, and in justice, and he is ineffable.
|
24
|
Therefore men shall fear him, and all that seem to themselves to be wise, shall not dare to behold him.
