Job 36:27-37:13

Wycliffe Bible

²⁷ He taketh (up) the drops of rain; and he poureth out (the) rains at the likeness of floodgates,

²⁸ which come down (out) of the clouds, that cover all things (from) above.

²⁹ If he will stretch forth clouds as his tent, (If he will stretch forth the clouds like his tent,)

³⁰ and lightning with his light from above, he shall cover, yea, the hinges of the sea, (that is, the depths of the sea).

³¹ For by these things he deemeth peoples, and giveth meat to many deadly men. (For by these things he feedeth the nations, and giveth food to many mortals.)

³² In (his) hands he hideth (the) light; and (then) commandeth it, that it come (out) again.

³³ He telleth of it to his friend, that it is his possession; and that he may ascend to it.

37 Mine heart dreaded of this thing, and is moved out of his place. (My heart feareth this thing, and is given a start, or a shock, in its place/and is startled out of its place.)

² It shall hear an hearing in the fearedfulness of his voice, and a sound coming forth [out] of his mouth.

³ He beholdeth over all (the) heavens; and his light is over the terms of the earth.

⁴ (A) Great sound shall roar after him, and he shall thunder with the voice of his greatness; and it shall not be sought out, when his voice is heard.

⁵ God shall thunder in his voice wonderfully, which maketh great things that may not be sought out. (God shall thunder wonderfully with his voice, and he maketh great things which cannot be understood.)

⁶ He it is that commandeth the snow to come down upon the earth (It is he who commandeth the snow to come down on the earth), and to the rains of winter, and to the rains of his strength.

⁷ He marketh in the hand of all men, that all men know their works (so that all can know his works).

⁸ An unreasonable beast shall go into his den, and shall dwell in his cave, either dark place. (An unreasoning beast shall go into its den, and shall live there in its cave, or that dark place.)

⁹ Tempest shall go out from the inner things, and cold from Arcturus, that is, a sign of five stars in the north. (The tempest shall go out from the south, and the cold shall come from the north.)

¹⁰ When God maketh blowing, frost waxeth (al)together; and again full broad waters be poured out thereof. (When God maketh blowing, the frost cometh; and very broad waters be poured out again.)

¹¹ Wheat desireth clouds, and (the) clouds spread abroad their light.

¹² The which clouds compass all things about by compass (Which clouds go about everywhere), whither ever the will of the governor leadeth them, to all thing to which he commandeth them upon the face of the world;

¹³ whether in one lineage, either in his land (whether for just one tribe, or over all his land), either in whatever place of his mercy he commandeth those to be found.
