OEB JOB Chapter 37

◄ JOB 37 ► ║ ═ ©

37 At this doth thy heart not tremble,

And leap right out of its place?

2 Hark, hark to His voice tempestuous,

To the roar that goes forth from His mouth.

3 ’Neath the whole sky He letteth it loose,

And His flash to the fringe of the world.

4 In the wake of it roareth His voice,

With His voice majestic He thunders;

Nor holds He the lightnings back,

Whensoever His voice is heard.

5 God letteth us see His wonders;

Great things beyond knowledge He doeth.

6 For He saith to the snow, "Fall earthwards";

Likewise to His strong rushing rain.

7 He sealeth up all mankind,

That His work may be known of them all.

8 The beasts go into their lairs,

And within their dens remain.

9 The temptest comes out of its chamber,

And out of its store-house the cold.

10 By the breath of God ice is given,

The broad waters lie in constraint.

11 Yea, He ladeth the thick cloud with hail,

And the cloud doth scatter His lightning.

12 This way and that is darteth,

Turning about by His guidance,

Doings whate’er He commands it

Over the face of His world,

13 Wether for curse and correction

Or in mercy He sendeth it forth.

14 Hearken to this, Job, stand still,

And consider the wonders of God.

15 Dost thou know how God doeth His work;

How He flashes the light of His cloud?

16 Dost thou know how the thick clouds are poised;

How He pours down a flood when it thunders,

17 What time thy garments grow hot

From the south wind which laps earth in silence?

18 Like Him canst thou spread out the sky,

Like Him canst thou spread out the sky,

Which is strong as a molten mirror?

19 How then shall we speak to Him? Tell me;

For helpless are we in our darkness.

20 Shall one cavil at Him when He speaketh?

Or shall a man say that He errs?

21 Now no man can look on the light,

So dazzling bright in the sky,

When the wind has passed over and cleared it,

22 And radiance comes out of the north;

But the splendour of God – how terrible!

23 The Almighty we cannot find out.

Powerful is He and all-righteous,

And justice He will not pervert.

24 For this cause ought mortals to fear Him:

But the heart of conceit He despiseth.

The Answer of the Almighty
