Job 36:22-37:12
New International Version
Job 36:22-37:12
New International Version
22 “God is exalted in his power.(A)
Who is a teacher like him?(B)
23 Who has prescribed his ways(C) for him,(D)
or said to him, ‘You have done wrong’?(E)
24 Remember to extol his work,(F)
which people have praised in song.(G)
25 All humanity has seen it;(H)
mortals gaze on it from afar.
26 How great is God—beyond our understanding!(I)
The number of his years is past finding out.(J)
27 “He draws up the drops of water,(K)
which distill as rain to the streams[a];(L)
28 the clouds pour down their moisture
and abundant showers(M) fall on mankind.(N)
29 Who can understand how he spreads out the clouds,
how he thunders(O) from his pavilion?(P)
30 See how he scatters his lightning(Q) about him,
bathing the depths of the sea.(R)
31 This is the way he governs[b] the nations(S)
and provides food(T) in abundance.(U)
32 He fills his hands with lightning
and commands it to strike its mark.(V)
33 His thunder announces the coming storm;(W)
even the cattle make known its approach.[c](X)
37 “At this my heart pounds(Y)
and leaps from its place.
2 Listen!(Z) Listen to the roar of his voice,(AA)
to the rumbling that comes from his mouth.(AB)
3 He unleashes his lightning(AC) beneath the whole heaven
and sends it to the ends of the earth.(AD)
4 After that comes the sound of his roar;
he thunders(AE) with his majestic voice.(AF)
When his voice resounds,
he holds nothing back.
5 God’s voice thunders(AG) in marvelous ways;(AH)
he does great things beyond our understanding.(AI)
6 He says to the snow,(AJ) ‘Fall on the earth,’
and to the rain shower, ‘Be a mighty downpour.’(AK)
7 So that everyone he has made may know his work,(AL)
he stops all people from their labor.[d](AM)
8 The animals take cover;(AN)
they remain in their dens.(AO)
9 The tempest comes out from its chamber,(AP)
the cold from the driving winds.(AQ)
10 The breath of God produces ice,
and the broad waters become frozen.(AR)
11 He loads the clouds with moisture;(AS)
he scatters his lightning(AT) through them.(AU)
12 At his direction they swirl around
over the face of the whole earth
to do whatever he commands them.(AV)
Job 36:22-37:12
King James Version
Job 36:22-37:12
King James Version
22 Behold, God exalteth by his power: who teacheth like him?
23 Who hath enjoined him his way? or who can say, Thou hast wrought iniquity?
24 Remember that thou magnify his work, which men behold.
25 Every man may see it; man may behold it afar off.
26 Behold, God is great, and we know him not, neither can the number of his years be searched out.
27 For he maketh small the drops of water: they pour down rain according to the vapour thereof:
28 Which the clouds do drop and distil upon man abundantly.
29 Also can any understand the spreadings of the clouds, or the noise of his tabernacle?
30 Behold, he spreadeth his light upon it, and covereth the bottom of the sea.
31 For by them judgeth he the people; he giveth meat in abundance.
32 With clouds he covereth the light; and commandeth it not to shine by the cloud that cometh betwixt.
33 The noise thereof sheweth concerning it, the cattle also concerning the vapour.
37 At this also my heart trembleth, and is moved out of his place.
2 Hear attentively the noise of his voice, and the sound that goeth out of his mouth.
3 He directeth it under the whole heaven, and his lightning unto the ends of the earth.
4 After it a voice roareth: he thundereth with the voice of his excellency; and he will not stay them when his voice is heard.
5 God thundereth marvellously with his voice; great things doeth he, which we cannot comprehend.
6 For he saith to the snow, Be thou on the earth; likewise to the small rain, and to the great rain of his strength.
7 He sealeth up the hand of every man; that all men may know his work.
8 Then the beasts go into dens, and remain in their places.
9 Out of the south cometh the whirlwind: and cold out of the north.
10 By the breath of God frost is given: and the breadth of the waters is straitened.
11 Also by watering he wearieth the thick cloud: he scattereth his bright cloud:
12 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.
