[1]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.
