¹“About this also my heart trembles, and it leaps from its place. ²Listen carefully to his voice’s thunder and the rumbling that goes out from his mouth. ³He lets it loose under all the heavens, and his lightning to the earth’s corners. ⁴After it, his voice roars; it thunders ⌞with his majestic voice⌟, and he does not restrain it when his voice is heard. ⁵“God thunders with his voice in marvelous ways; he does great things, and we cannot comprehend. ⁶For to the snow he says, ‘Fall on the earth’; and ⌞the shower of rain, his heavy shower of rain⌟— ⁷⌞he stops all human beings from working⌟ ⌞so that everyone whom he has made may know it⌟. ⁸Then the animal goes into its den, and it remains in its den. ⁹“The storm wind comes from its chamber and cold from the north wind. ¹⁰By God’s breath, ice is given, and the broad waters are frozen. ¹¹Also, he loads down thick clouds with moisture; his lightning scatters the clouds. ¹²And ⌞they⌟ turn around by his guidance to accomplish all that he has commanded them on the face of ⌞the habitable world⌟. ¹³Whether as ⌞correction⌟ or for his land, or as loyal love, he lets it happen. ¹⁴“Hear this, Job; stand still and consider carefully God’s wondrous works. ¹⁵Do you know ⌞how God commands them⌟ and how he causes his cloud’s lightning to shine? ¹⁶Do you know about the hovering of the clouds, ⌞the marvelous works of the one with perfect knowledge⌟? ¹⁷You whose garments are hot, when the earth is being still because of the south wind, ¹⁸with him can you spread out the skies, hard as a molten mirror? ¹⁹“Teach us what we should say to him; we cannot draw up our case because of the presence of darkness. ²⁰Should he be told that I want to speak? Or did a man say that he would be communicated with? ²¹So then, they do not look at the light when it is bright in the skies, when the wind has passed and has cleansed them. ²²From the north comes gold— awesome majesty is around God. ²³As for Shaddai, we cannot attain him; he is exalted in power, and he does not oppress justice and abundant righteousness. ²⁴Therefore people revered him; he does not regard any ⌞who think that they are wise⌟.”
