¹ AT this also my heart trembles, and is moved out of his place.

² Hear attentively the noise of his voice, and the sound that goes out of his mouth.

³ He directs it under the whole heaven, and his lightning unto the ends of the earth.

⁴ After it a voice roars: he thunders with the voice of his excellency; and he will not stay them when his voice is heard.

⁵ El thunders marvellously with his voice; great things does he, which we cannot comprehend.

⁶ For he says to the snow, Be on the earth; likewise to the small rain, and to the great rain of his strength.

⁷ He seals up the hand of every man; that all men may know his work.

⁸ Then the beasts go into dens, and remain in their places.

⁹ Out of the south comes the whirlwind: and cold out of the north.

¹⁰ By the breath of El frost is given: and the breadth of the waters is straitened.

¹¹ Also by watering he wearies the thick cloud: he scatters his bright cloud:

¹² And it is turned round about by his counsels: that they may do whatsoever he commands them upon the face of the world in the earth.

¹³ He causes it to come, whether for correction, or for his land, or for mercy.

¹⁴ Hearken unto this, O Iyov: stand still, and consider the wondrous works of El.

¹⁵ Do you know when Eloah disposed them, and caused the light of his cloud to shine?

¹⁶ Do you know the balancings of the clouds, the wondrous works of him which is perfect in knowledge?

¹⁷ How your garments are warm, when he quiets the earth by the south wind?

¹⁸ Have you with him spread out the sky, which is strong, and as a molten looking glass?

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 speak? if a man speak, surely he shall be swallowed up.

²¹ And now men see not the bright light which is in the clouds: but the wind passes, and cleanses them.

²² Fair weather comes out of the north: with Eloah is terrible majesty.

²³ Touching El Shaddai, we cannot find him out: he is excellent in power, and in judgment, and in plenty of justice: he will not afflict.

²⁴ Men do therefore fear him: he respects not any that are wise of heart.
