NASB Bible

Job 37

Elihu Says God Is Back of the Storm

1

"At this also my heart trembles, And leaps from its place.

2

"Listen closely to the  athunder of His voice, And the rumbling that goes out from His mouth.

3

"Under the whole heaven He lets it loose, And His  1lightning to the  aends of the earth.

4

"After it, a voice roars; He thunders with His majestic voice, And He does not restrain  1the lightnings when His voice is heard.

5

"God  athunders with His voice wondrously, Doing  bgreat things which we cannot comprehend.

6

"For to  athe snow He says, `Fall on the earth,' And to the  1 bdownpour and the rain, `Be strong.'

7

"He  aseals the hand of every man, That  ball men may know His work.

8

"Then the beast goes into its  alair And remains in its  1den.

9

"Out of the  1 asouth comes the storm, And out of the  2north the cold.

10

"From the breath of God  aice is made, And the expanse of the waters is frozen.

11

"Also with moisture He  aloads the thick cloud; He  bdisperses  cthe cloud of His  1lightning.

12

"It changes direction, turning around by His guidance, That  1it may do whatever He  acommands  2it On the  bface of the inhabited earth.

13

"Whether for  1 acorrection, or for  bHis world, Or for  clovingkindness, He causes it to  2happen.

14

"Listen to this, O Job, Stand and consider the wonders of God.

15

"Do you know how God establishes them, And makes the  1lightning of His cloud to shine?

16

"Do you know about the layers of the thick clouds, The  awonders of one  bperfect in knowledge,

17

You whose garments are hot, When the land is still because of the south wind?

18

"Can you, with Him,  aspread out the skies, Strong as a molten mirror?

19

"Teach us what we shall say to Him; We  acannot arrange our case because of darkness.

20

"Shall it be told Him that I would speak?  1Or should a man say that he would be swallowed up?

21

"Now  1men do not see the light which is bright in the skies; But the wind has passed and cleared them.

22

"Out of the north comes golden splendor; Around God is awesome majesty.

23

"The Almighty-- awe cannot find Him; He is  bexalted in power And  cHe will not do violence  dto justice and abundant righteousness.

24

"Therefore men  afear Him; He does not  bregard any who are wise of heart."
