Job 36:27-37:13
American Standard Version

27 For he draweth up the drops of water,
Which distil in rain [a]from [b]his vapor,
28 Which the skies pour down
And drop upon man abundantly.
29 Yea, can any understand the spreadings of the clouds,
The thunderings of his pavilion?
30 Behold, he spreadeth his light [c]around him;
And he [d]covereth the bottom of the sea.
31 For by these he judgeth the peoples;
He giveth food in abundance.
32 He covereth his hands with the [e]lightning,
And giveth it a charge [f]that it strike the mark.
33 The noise thereof telleth concerning [g]him,
The cattle also concerning [h]the storm that cometh up.

37 Yea, at this my heart trembleth,
And is moved out of its place.
2 Hear, oh, hear the noise of his voice,
And the [i]sound that goeth out of his mouth.
3 He sendeth it forth under the whole heaven,
And his [j]lightning unto the [k]ends of the earth.
4 After it a voice roareth;
He thundereth with the voice of his majesty;
And he restraineth not [l]the lightnings 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, Fall thou on the earth;
Likewise to the shower of rain,
And to the showers of his mighty rain.
7 He sealeth up the hand of every man,
That all men whom he hath made may know it.
8 Then the beasts go into coverts,
And remain in their dens.
9 Out of the chamber of the south cometh the storm,
And cold out of the [m]north.
10 By the breath of God ice is given;
And the breadth of the waters is [n]straitened.
11 Yea, he ladeth the thick cloud with moisture;
He spreadeth abroad the cloud of his [o]lightning:
12 And it is turned round about by his guidance,
That they may do whatsoever he commandeth them
Upon the face of the habitable world,
13 Whether it be for correction, or for his [p]land,
Or for lovingkindness, that he cause it to come.
