Job 36:27-37:13
Amplified Bible
27
“For He draws up the drops of water,
They distill rain from the mist,
28
Which the clouds pour down,
They drop abundantly upon mankind.”
29
“Can anyone understand the spreading of the clouds
Or the thundering of His pavilion?(A)
30
“Behold, He spreads His lightning around Him [against the dark clouds],
And He covers the depths of the sea.
31
“For by these [mighty acts] He judges the peoples;
He gives food in abundance.
32
“He covers His hands with the lightning,
And commands it to strike the mark.
33
“His thundering voice declares [awesomely] His presence;
The cattle also are told of His coming storm.
Elihu Says God has Authority over the Storm
37 “Indeed, at His thundering my heart trembles
And leaps out of its place.
2
“Listen carefully to the thunder of His voice,
And the rumbling that goes out of His mouth!
3
“He lets it loose under the whole heaven,
And His lightning to the ends of the earth.
4
“After it, His voice roars;
He thunders with the voice of His majesty,
And He does not restrain His lightning [against His adversaries] when His voice is heard.
5
“God thunders marvelously with His voice;
He does great things which we cannot comprehend.
6
“For He says to the snow, ‘Fall on the earth’;
And [He speaks] to the showers and to the downpour [of His mighty rains], ‘Be strong.’
7
“God seals (brings to a standstill, stops) [by severe weather] the hand of every man,
That all men [whom He has made] may know His work [that is, His sovereign power and their subjection to it].
8
“Then the beast goes into its lair
And remains in its hiding place.
9
“Out of its chamber comes the storm,
And cold from the north wind.
10
“Ice is made by the breath of God,
And the expanse of the waters is frozen.(B)
11
“He loads the thick cloud with moisture;
He disperses the cloud of His lightning.
12
“Its direction is turned around by His guidance,
That it may do whatever He commands it
On the face of the inhabited earth.
13
“Whether [it be] for correction, or for His earth [generally]
Or for [His] mercy and lovingkindness, He causes it to happen.(C)
Job 36:27-37:13
New American Standard Bible
27 For (A)He draws up the drops of water;
They distill rain from its [a]celestial stream,
28 Which clouds pour down;
They drip upon mankind abundantly.
29 Can anyone understand the (B)spreading of the clouds,
The (C)thundering of His [b]pavilion?
30 Behold, He spreads His [c]lightning about Him,
And He covers the depths of the sea.
31 For by them He (D)judges peoples;
He (E)gives food in abundance.
32 He covers His hands with the [d]lightning,
And (F)commands it to strike the target.
33 Its (G)thundering voice declares [e]His presence;
The livestock also, concerning what is coming up.
Elihu Says God Has Authority Over the Storm
37 “At this also my heart trembles,
And leaps from its place.
2 Listen closely to the (H)thunder of His voice,
And the rumbling that goes out from His mouth.
3 Under the whole heaven He lets it loose,
And His [f]lightning travels to the (I)ends of the earth.
4 After it, a voice roars;
He thunders with His majestic voice,
And He does not restrain [g]the lightning when His voice is heard.
5 God (J)thunders wondrously with His voice,
Doing (K)great things which we do not comprehend.
6 For to (L)the snow He says, ‘Fall on the earth,’
And to the [h](M)downpour and the rain, ‘Be strong.’
7 He (N)seals the hand of every person,
So that (O)all people may know His work.
8 Then the animal goes into its (P)lair
And remains in its [i]den.
9 From the [j](Q)south comes the storm,
And from the north wind the cold.
10 From the breath of God (R)ice is made,
And the expanse of the waters is frozen.
11 He also (S)loads the clouds with moisture;
He (T)disperses (U)the cloud of His [k]lightning.
12 It changes direction, turning around by His guidance,
That [l]it may do whatever He (V)commands [m]it
On the (W)face of the inhabited earth.
13 Whether for [n](X)correction, or for (Y)His earth,
Or for (Z)goodness, He causes it to [o]happen.
