Job 36:27-37:13
Legacy Standard Bible
27 For (A)He draws up the drops of water,
They distill rain for His [a]stream,
28 Which the clouds pour down,
They drip upon man abundantly.
29 Can anyone discern 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 these 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 mark.
33 Its (G)thundering declares about Him;
The cattle also, concerning what is coming up.
Elihu Speaks of God’s Voice
37 “At this also my heart trembles,
And leaps from its place.
2 [e]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 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 lightnings when His voice is heard.
5 God (J)thunders with His voice marvelously,
Doing (K)great things which we do not know.
6 For to (L)the snow He says, ‘Fall on the earth,’
And to the (M)downpour of rain and the downpour of rains, ‘Be strong.’
7 He (N)seals the hand of every man,
That (O)all men may know His work.
8 Then the beast goes into its (P)lair
And dwells in its [h]den.
9 Out of the [i](Q)south comes the storm,
And out of the [j]north the cold.
10 From the breath of God (R)ice is made,
And the expanse of the waters is frozen.
11 Also with moisture He (S)loads the thick cloud;
He (T)scatters (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 world,
Or for (Z)lovingkindness, He causes it to [o]happen.
