Canst thou with him spread out the sky, Which is strong as a molten mirror?

Yea, at this my heart trembleth, And is moved out of its place.

Hearken unto this, O Job: Stand still, and consider the wondrous works of God.

Dost thou know the balancings of the clouds, The wondrous works of him who is perfect in knowledge?

Out of the north cometh golden splendor: God hath upon him terrible majesty.

God thundereth marvellously with his voice; Great things doeth he, which we cannot comprehend.

Touching the Almighty, we cannot find him out He is excellent in power; And in justice and plenteous righteousness he will not afflict.

He sealeth up the hand of every man, That all men whom he hath made may know it .

Hear, oh, hear the noise of his voice, And the sound that goeth out of his mouth.

Out of the chamber of the south cometh the storm, And cold out of the north.

By the breath of God ice is given; And the breadth of the waters is straitened.

For he saith to the snow, Fall thou on the earth; Likewise to the shower of rain, And to the showers of his mighty rain.

He sendeth it forth under the whole heaven, And his lightening unto the ends of the earth.

Whether it be for correction, or for his land, Or for lovingkindness, that he cause it to come.

And it is turned round about by his guidance, That they may do whatsoever he commandeth them Upon the face of the habitable world,

Yea, he ladeth the thick cloud with moisture; He spreadeth abroad the cloud of his lightning:

Men do therefore fear him: He regardeth not any that are wise of heart.

And now men see not the light which is bright in the skies; But the wind passeth, and cleareth them.

After it a voice roareth; He thundereth with the voice of his majesty; And he restraineth not the lightnings when his voice is heard.

How thy garments are warm, When the earth is still by reason of the south wind ?

Then the beasts go into coverts, And remain in their dens.

Dost thou know how God layeth his charge upon them, And causeth the lightning of his cloud to shine?

Shall it be told him that I would speak? Or should a man wish that he were swallowed up?

Teach us what we shall say unto him; For we cannot set our speech in order by reason of darkness.
