Job 36:29-37:5
English Standard Version
29 Can anyone understand (A)the spreading of the clouds,
the thunderings of his (B)pavilion?
30 Behold, he scatters his lightning about him
and covers the roots of the sea.
31 For by these he (C)judges peoples;
he gives (D)food in abundance.
32 He covers his (E)hands with the lightning
and commands it to strike the mark.
33 Its crashing declares his presence;[a]
the cattle also declare that he rises.
Elihu Proclaims God's Majesty
37 “At this also my heart trembles
and leaps out of its place.
2 Keep listening to the thunder of his voice
and the rumbling that comes from his mouth.
3 Under the whole heaven he lets it go,
and his (F)lightning to the (G)corners of the earth.
4 After it (H)his voice roars;
(I)he thunders with his majestic voice,
and he does not restrain the lightnings[b] when his voice is heard.
5 God thunders wondrously with his voice;
he does (J)great things that we cannot (K)comprehend.

and leaps from its place.

and sends it to the ends of the earth.(P)

he holds nothing back.
