Job 37
|
|
| 37:1
At this also my heart trembleth, and is moved out of his place. |
|
| 37:2
Hear attentively the noise of his voice, and the sound that goeth out of
his mouth. |
|
| 37:3
He directeth it under the whole heaven, and his lightning unto the ends of
the earth. |
|
| 37:4
After it a voice roareth: he thundereth with the voice of his excellency;
and he will not stay them when his voice is heard. |
|
| 37:5
God thundereth marvellously with his voice; great things doeth he, which
we cannot comprehend. |
|
| 37:6
For he saith to the snow, Be thou on the earth; likewise to the small
rain, and to the great rain of his strength. |
|
| 37:7
He sealeth up the hand of every man; that all men may know his work. |
|
| 37:8
Then the beasts go into dens, and remain in their places. |
|
| 37:9
Out of the south cometh the whirlwind: and cold out of the north. |
|
| 37:10 By the breath of God frost is given: and the breadth of the waters is
straitened. |
"By the breath of God frost is given."
|
| 37:11
Also by watering he wearieth the thick cloud: he scattereth his bright
cloud: |
|
| 37:12
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. |
|
| 37:13
He causeth it to come, whether for correction, or for his land, or for
mercy. |
|
| 37:14
Hearken unto this, O Job: stand still, and consider the wondrous works of
God. |
|
| 37:15
Dost thou know when God disposed them, and caused the light of his cloud
to shine? |
|
| 37:16
Dost thou know the balancings of the clouds, the wondrous works of him
which is perfect in knowledge? |
|
| 37:17
How thy garments are warm, when he quieteth the earth by the south wind? |
|
| 37:18
Hast thou with him spread out the sky, which is strong, and as a molten
looking glass? |
"Hast thou with him spread out the sky, which is strong, and as a molten
looking glass?"
God spread out the sky, which is a solid structure, hard and strong like a mirror.
|
| 37:19
Teach us what we shall say unto him; for we cannot order our speech by
reason of darkness.
|
| 37:20
Shall it be told him that I speak? if a man speak, surely he shall be
swallowed up. |
|
| 37:21
And now men see not the bright light which is in the clouds: but the wind
passeth, and cleanseth them. |
|
| 37:22
Fair weather cometh out of the north: with God is terrible majesty. |
|
| 37:23
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. |
|
| 37:24
Men do therefore fear him: he respecteth not any that are wise of heart.
|
"He respecteth not any that are wise of heart."
Is wisdom a good thing?
