Can you, like him, spread out the skies, hard as a cast metal mirror?

"At this also my heart trembles and leaps out of its place.

"Hear this, O Job; stop and consider the wondrous works of God.

Do you know the balancings of the clouds, the wondrous works of him who is perfect in knowledge,

Out of the north comes golden splendor; God is clothed with awesome majesty.

God thunders wondrously with his voice; he does great things that we cannot comprehend.

The Almighty--we cannot find him; he is great in power; justice and abundant righteousness he will not violate.

He seals up the hand of every man, that all men whom he made may know it.

Keep listening to the thunder of his voice and the rumbling that comes from his mouth.

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

By the breath of God ice is given, and the broad waters are frozen fast.

For to the snow he says, 'Fall on the earth,' likewise to the downpour, his mighty downpour.

Under the whole heaven he lets it go, and his lightning to the corners of the earth.

Whether for correction or for his land or for love, he causes it to happen.

They turn around and around by his guidance, to accomplish all that he commands them on the face of the habitable world.

you whose garments are hot when the earth is still because of the south wind?

Then the beasts go into their lairs, and remain in their dens.

Do you know how God lays his command upon them and causes the lightning of his cloud to shine?

Shall it be told him that I would speak? Did a man ever wish that he would be swallowed up?

Teach us what we shall say to him; we cannot draw up our case because of darkness.
