[1]At this also my heart is astonied, and moued out of his place
[2]Heare then the sounde of his voyce, & the noyse that goeth out of his mouth
[3]He directeth it vnder the whole heauen, and his light vnto the endes of the worlde
[4]A roring voyce foloweth it: for his glorious maiestie geueth a thuder clappe, & he will not stay whe his voyce is heard
[5]God thundreth marueylously with his voyce, great thinges doth he which we can not comprehend
[6]He commaundeth the snow, and it falleth vpon earth: he geueth the rayne a charge, and the showres haue their strength and fall downe
[7]With the force of the rayne he shutteth men vp, that all men may knowe his workes
[8]The beastes creepe into their dennes, and remaine in their places
[9]Out of the south commeth the tempest, and colde out from the north winde
[10]At the breath of God the hoare frost is geuen, and the brode waters are frosen
[11]He maketh the cloudes to labour in geuing moystnesse, and againe with his light he dryueth away the cloude
[12]He turneth the heauens about by his gouernement, that they may do whatsoeuer he commaundeth them vpon the whole worlde
[13]Whether it be for punishment, or for his lande, or to do good to them that seeke him
[14]Hearken vnto this O Iob, stand still, and consider the wonderous workes of God
[15]Didst thou know when God disposed them? & caused the light of his cloudes to shine
[16]Hast thou knowen the varietie of the cloudes, and the wonderous workes of him which is perfect in knowledge
[17]And how thy clothes are warme, when the lande is stil through the south winde
[18]Hast thou helped him to spreade out the heauens which are strong and bright as a loking glasse
[19]Teache vs what we shall saye vnto him: for we are vnmeete to frame our talke because of darkenesse
[20]Shall it be tolde him what I saye? Shall man speake when he shalbe destroyed
[21]For men see not the light that shineth in the cloudes: but the winde passeth and cleanseth them
[22]The faire weather commeth out of the north, the prayse thereof is to God who is terrible
[23]It is the almightie, we can not finde him out: he is excellent in power and iudgement, and aboundaunt in iustice: he afflicteth not
[24]Let men therefore feare him: for there shall no man see him that is wyse in his owne conceit
