Job 37:5-14
New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition
5 God thunders wondrously with his voice;
he does great things that we cannot comprehend.(A)
6 For to the snow he says, ‘Fall on the earth’;
and the shower of rain, his heavy shower of rain,(B)
7 serves as a sign on everyone’s hand,
so that all whom he has made may know it.[a](C)
8 Then the animals go into their lairs
and remain in their dens.(D)
9 From its chamber comes the whirlwind
and cold from the scattering winds.(E)
10 By the breath of God ice is given,
and the broad waters are frozen fast.(F)
11 He loads the thick cloud with moisture;
the clouds scatter his lightning.(G)
12 They turn round and round by his guidance
to accomplish all that he commands them
on the face of the habitable world.(H)
13 Whether for correction or for his land
or for love, he causes it to happen.(I)
14 “Hear this, O Job;
stop and consider the wondrous works of God.(J)
