Can you, with him, spread out the sky, which is strong as a cast metal mirror?

"Yes, at this my heart trembles, and is moved out of its place.

"Listen to this, Job. Stand still, and consider the wondrous works of God.

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

Out of the north comes golden splendor. With God is awesome majesty.

God thunders marvelously with his voice. He does great things, which we can't comprehend.

We can't reach the Almighty. He is exalted in power. In justice and great righteousness, he will not oppress.

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

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

Out of its room comes the storm, and cold out of the north.

By the breath of God, ice is given, and the breadth of the waters is frozen.

For he says to the snow, 'Fall on the earth;' likewise to the shower of rain, and to the showers of his mighty rain.

He sends it forth under the whole sky, and his lightning to the ends of the earth.

Whether it is for correction, or for his land, or for loving kindness, that he causes it to come.

It is turned around by his guidance, that they may do whatever he commands them on the surface of the habitable world,

Yes, he loads the thick cloud with moisture. He spreads abroad the cloud of his lightning.

Therefore men revere him. He doesn't regard any who are wise of heart."

Now men don't see the light which is bright in the skies, but the wind passes, and clears them.

After it a voice roars. He thunders with the voice of his majesty. He doesn't hold back anything when his voice is heard.

You whose clothing is warm, when the earth is still by reason of the south wind?

Then the animals take cover, and remain in their dens.

Do you know how God controls them, and causes 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 tell him, for we can't make our case by reason of darkness.
