(New International Version)

  • 1 “At this my heart pounds and leaps from its place.
  • 2 Listen! Listen to the roar of his voice, to the rumbling that comes from his mouth.
  • 3 He unleashes his lightning beneath the whole heaven and sends it to the ends of the earth.
  • 4 After that comes the sound of his roar; he thunders with his majestic voice. When his voice resounds, he holds nothing back.
  • 5 God’s voice thunders in marvelous ways; he does great things beyond our understanding.
  • 6 He says to the snow, ‘Fall on the earth,’ and to the rain shower, ‘Be a mighty downpour.’
  • 7 So that everyone he has made may know his work, he stops all people from their labor. 37:7 Or work, / he fills all people with fear by his power
  • 8 The animals take cover; they remain in their dens.
  • 9 The tempest comes out from its chamber, the cold from the driving winds.
  • 10 The breath of God produces ice, and the broad waters become frozen.
  • 11 He loads the clouds with moisture; he scatters his lightning through them.
  • 12 At his direction they swirl around over the face of the whole earth to do whatever he commands them.
  • 13 He brings the clouds to punish people, or to water his earth and show his love.
  • 14 “Listen to this, Job; stop and consider God’s wonders.
  • 15 Do you know how God controls the clouds and makes his lightning flash?
  • 16 Do you know how the clouds hang poised, those wonders of him who has perfect knowledge?
  • 17 You who swelter in your clothes when the land lies hushed under the south wind,
  • 18 can you join him in spreading out the skies, hard as a mirror of cast bronze?
  • 19 “Tell us what we should say to him; we cannot draw up our case because of our darkness.
  • 20 Should he be told that I want to speak? Would anyone ask to be swallowed up?
  • 21 Now no one can look at the sun, bright as it is in the skies after the wind has swept them clean.
  • 22 Out of the north he comes in golden splendor; God comes in awesome majesty.
  • 23 The Almighty is beyond our reach and exalted in power; in his justice and great righteousness, he does not oppress.
  • 24 Therefore, people revere him, for does he not have regard for all the wise in heart? 37:24 Or for he does not have regard for any who think they are wise. ”
