¹At this also my heart trembles, and leaps from its place.

²Listen, listen to the raging of his voice, and the rumbling that comes out of his mouth.

³Under all the skies he lets it loose, and his light to the edges of the land.

⁴After it a sound roars; he thunders with the sound of his majesty, and he does not hold them back when his sound is heard.

⁵God thunders wonders with his voice; he does great things, and we cannot know.

⁶For he says to the snow, Fall on the land; and to the shower of rain, and to the showers, the rains of his might.

⁷He seals up the hand of every person, so that all people may know his work.

⁸The animal goes into a lair, and in its dens it settles.

⁹From the inner chamber the whirlwind comes, and from the scattering winds the cold.

¹⁰From the breath of God frost is given, and the breadth of the waters is held in constraint.

¹¹Even with moisture he loads the dark cloud; he scatters the cloud of his light.

¹²And it turns round about by his guidance, so that they do all that he commands them over the face of the world, to the land.

¹³Whether for a rod, or for his land, or for loyal love, he causes it to come upon them.

¹⁴Give ear to this, Job; stand still and discern the wonders of God.

¹⁵Do you know when God sets them in place, and makes the light of his cloud shine out?

¹⁶Do you know about the balancings of the cloud, the wondrous works of the one complete in knowledge,

¹⁷you whose clothes are hot when the land lies quiet from the south?

¹⁸Can you hammer out the clouds with him, hard as a cast mirror?

¹⁹Make known to us what we should say to him; we cannot set our case in order in the face of the darkness.

²⁰Shall it be recounted to him that I will speak? If a man said it, he would be swallowed up.

²¹And now, people do not see the light; it is bright in the clouds, and a wind has passed by and has cleansed them.

²²From the north gold comes; upon God is awesome splendor.

²³The Almighty—we have not found him; he is great in strength, and justice and abundant righteousness he does not afflict.

²⁴Therefore people fear him; he does not see any who are wise in heart.
