Yea, doth any understand The spreadings out of a cloud? The noises of His tabernacle?

Behold, he spreadeth his light upon it, and covereth the bottom of the sea.

It is by these that he judges the nations and supplies food in abundance.

With clouds he covereth the light; and commandeth it not to shine by the cloud that cometh betwixt.

The noise thereof sheweth concerning it, the cattle also concerning the vapour.

At this also my heart trembleth, and is moved out of his place.

Hear attentively the noise of his voice, and the sound that goeth out of his mouth.

He directeth it under the whole heaven, and his lightning unto the ends of the earth.

After it a voice roareth: he thundereth with the voice of his excellency; and he will not stay them when his voice is heard.

He does wonders, more than may be searched out; great things of which we have no knowledge;

For he says to the snow, Make the earth wet; and to the rain-storm, Come down.

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

And enter doth the beast into covert, And in its habitations it doth continue.

Out of the south cometh the whirlwind: and cold out of the north.

By the breath of God ice is made, and the wide waters are shut in.

Yea, by filling He doth press out a cloud, Scatter a cloud doth His light.

And it is turned round about by his counsels: that they may do whatsoever he commandeth them upon the face of the world in the earth.

He causeth it to come, whether for correction, or for his land, or for mercy.

Art thou of his counsel, when he spreadeth out the clouds? Hast thou the perfect knowledge of his wonders?

Hast thou with him spread out the sky, which is strong, and as a molten looking glass?

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

Shall it be told him that I speak? if a man speak, surely he shall be swallowed up.

And now men see not the light as it gleameth, it is hidden in the skies. But the wind passeth by and cleareth them.

Fair weather cometh out of the north: with God is terrible majesty.

Touching the Almighty, we cannot find him out: he is excellent in power, and in judgment, and in plenty of justice: he will not afflict.

Then the LORD answered Job out of the whirlwind, and said,

Who is it that darkeneth counsel, by words, without knowledge?

"Where were you at my laying the foundation of [the] earth? Tell [me], if you possess understanding.

Who hath laid the measures thereof, if thou knowest? or who hath stretched the line upon it?

On what have its sockets been sunk? Or who hath cast its corner-stone?

Or who shut up the sea with doors, when it brake forth, as if it had issued out of the womb?

When I made the cloud the garment thereof, and thick darkness a swaddlingband for it,

And brake up for it my decreed place, and set bars and doors,

And say, 'Hitherto come thou, and add not, And a command is placed On the pride of thy billows.'

"Have you ever commanded the morning at any time during your life? Do you know where the dawn lives,

That it might take hold of the ends of the earth, that the wicked might be shaken out of it?

It is turned as clay to the seal; and they stand as a garment.

Hast thou perceived the breadth of the earth? declare if thou knowest it all.

"What is the way to the dwelling of light? As for darkness, where is its place,

That thou shouldest take it to the bound thereof, and that thou shouldest know the paths to the house thereof?

Knowest thou it, because thou wast then born? or because the number of thy days is great?

By what way is the light parted, which scattereth the east wind upon the earth?

Who carves out a channel for the heavy rains, and a path for the rumble of thunder,

To cause it to rain on the earth, where no man is; on the wilderness, wherein there is no man;

to satisfy a desolate and devastated desert, causing it to sprout vegetation?

Out of whose womb came the ice? and the hoary frost of heaven, who hath gendered it?

Dost thou bring out Mazzaroth in its season? And Aysh for her sons dost thou comfort?

Do thou know the ordinances of the heavens? Can thou establish the dominion of it on the earth?

Is your voice sent up to the cloud, so that you may be covered by the weight of waters?

Dost thou send out lightnings, and they go And say unto thee, 'Behold us?'

Who can number the clouds by wisdom? Or who can pour out the bottles of heaven,

at [the] flowing of [the] dust into a cast and [the] clods cling together?

When they couch in their dens, and abide in the covert to lie in wait?

Who provides the raven’s food
when its young cry out to God
and wander about for lack of food?

>

"Do you know when the mountain goat gives birth? Do you watch the doe as it calves its young?

They bow themselves, they bring forth their young ones, they cast out their sorrows.

Safe are their young ones, They grow up in the field, they have gone out, And have not returned to them.

Who hath sent out the wild ass free? or who hath loosed the bands of the wild ass?

He laugheth at the tumult of the city, and heareth not the shouts of the driver;

It explores [the] mountains [as] its pasture and searches after every kind of green plant.

"Is [the] wild ox willing to serve you, or will he spend the night at your feeding trough?

Can you tie [the] wild ox [with] its rope to a furrow, or will it harrow [the] valleys after you?

Can you trust it because its strength [is] great, or will you hand your labor over to it?

Wilt thou believe him, that he will bring home thy seed, and gather it into thy barn?

The wing of the ostrich beats joyously But is it the stork's pinion and plumage?

Indeed, it leaves its eggs to the earth, and it lets [them] be warmed on [the] ground,

And she forgetteth that a foot may press it, And a beast of the field tread it down.

Her young ones it hath hardened without her, In vain is her labour without fear.

because God made it forget wisdom, and he did not give it a share in understanding.

What time she lifteth up herself on high, she scorneth the horse and his rider.

Do you give strength to the horse? is it by your hand that his neck is clothed with power?

“Have you [Job] made him leap like a locust?
The majesty of his snorting [nostrils] is terrible.

He paweth in the valley, and rejoiceth in his strength: He goeth out to meet the armed men.

He mocketh at fear, and is not affrighted; neither turneth he back from the sword.

Upon it [the] quiver rattles [along with] [the] flash of [the] spear and [the] short sword.

He swalloweth the ground with fierceness and rage: neither believeth he that it is the sound of the trumpet.

At the noise of the trumpets he saith, Aha! and he smelleth the battle afar off, the thunder of the captains, and the shouting.

Is it by thy wisdom that the hawk soareth, (And) stretcheth her wings toward the south?

Doth the eagle mount up at thy command, and make her nest on high?

It lives [on the] rock and spends the night {on the rock point and the mountain stronghold}.

From thence she spieth out the prey; Her eyes behold it afar off.

Its brood gulps down blood,
and where the slain are, it is there.

Shall he that contendeth with the Almighty instruct him? he that reproveth God, let him answer it.

Behold, I am vile; what shall I answer thee? I will lay mine hand upon my mouth.

Once I have spoken, and I answer not, And twice, and I add not.

Then answered the LORD unto Job out of the whirlwind, and said,

Pour out the overflowing of your anger, and look at all [the] proud, and humble them.

Look at all [the] proud, humble them, and tread down [the] wicked {where they stand}.

"Look, Behemoth, which I have made just as [I made] you; it eats grass like the ox.

Look at the strength of his loins
and the power in the muscles of his belly.

It keeps its tail straight like a cedar; [the] sinews of its thighs are tightly wound.

"It [is] the first of God's actions; the [one who] made him furnishes [it with] his sword.

Yes, [the] mountains yield produce for it, and all {wild animals} play there.

Under [the] lotus tree it lies, in [the] hiding place of [the] reeds and [in the] marsh.

[The] lotus trees cover it [with] their shade; [the] wadi's poplar trees surround it.

Look, [if the] river is turbulent, it is not frightened; it is confident even though [the] Jordan rushes against its mouth.

He taketh it with his eyes: his nose pierceth through snares.

Canst thou draw out leviathan with an hook? or his tongue with a cord which thou lettest down?

Wilt thou put a rope in his nose? and wilt thou hollow out his jaw with a thorn?

Will it make numerous pleas for mercy to you? Or will it speak gentle words to you?
