Job 36:27-33
The Message
Job 36:27-33
The Message
27-33 “He pulls water up out of the sea,
distills it, and fills up his rain-cloud cisterns.
Then the skies open up
and pour out soaking showers on everyone.
Does anyone have the slightest idea how this happens?
How he arranges the clouds, how he speaks in thunder?
Just look at that lightning, his sky-filling light show
illumining the dark depths of the sea!
These are the symbols of his sovereignty,
his generosity, his loving care.
He hurls arrows of light,
taking sure and accurate aim.
The High God roars in the thunder,
angry against evil.”

Job 36:27-33
New International Version
27 “He draws up the drops of water,(A)
which distill as rain to the streams[a];(B)
28 the clouds pour down their moisture
and abundant showers(C) fall on mankind.(D)
29 Who can understand how he spreads out the clouds,
how he thunders(E) from his pavilion?(F)
30 See how he scatters his lightning(G) about him,
bathing the depths of the sea.(H)
31 This is the way he governs[b] the nations(I)
and provides food(J) in abundance.(K)
32 He fills his hands with lightning
and commands it to strike its mark.(L)
33 His thunder announces the coming storm;(M)
even the cattle make known its approach.[c](N)
