Job 37
Bibelen på hverdagsdansk
Guds uendelige storhed
37 Det får mit hjerte til at banke voldsomt,
det hopper næsten helt op i halsen.
2 Hør efter, når Gud taler fra stormvejret,
når hans tordenrøst ruller hen over os.
3 Lynene glimter hen over himlen
og rækker helt til jordens ende.
4 Derefter kommer tordenskraldet,
hans majestætiske, tordnende røst.
Han sparer ikke på lynene,
når han lader sin røst høre.
5 Guds storslåede stemme høres i bulderet,
han gør store og ufattelige ting.
6 Han befaler sneen at falde på jorden
og sender regnskyl i tykke tove.
7 Folk må standse op midt i deres arbejde
og anerkende Guds vældige magt.
8 Dyrene søger i skjul,
de bliver i deres huler.
9 Den bidende blæst lukkes ud fra sit hus
og kommer med kulde fra nord.
10 Gud ånder på vandet,
så overfladen fryser til is.
11 Han fylder skyerne med vand,
og fra dem udspringer hans lyn.
12 Skyerne farer frem og tilbage,
de bevæger sig efter hans vilje.
De udfører hans befalinger
ud over den vide jord,
13 hvad enten lynet kommer for at straffe,
eller regnen kommer for at velsigne.
14 Tænk dig om et øjeblik, Job,
læg mærke til Guds forunderlige gerninger.
15 Ved du, hvordan han styrer naturens kræfter,
hvordan han får lynene til at glimte fra skyerne?
16 Forstår du, hvordan skyerne kan svæve i luften?
Det er den Almægtiges underværker.
17 Du, som lider under den brændende sol,
når søndenvinden bringer en hedebølge,
18 var det dig, der hjalp ham udspænde himlens bue,
så den skinner som et spejl af blankt metal?
19 Job, hvad med at dele noget af din visdom med Gud,
for vi andre ved jo ingenting!
20 Tør du sige til Gud, at du vil fortælle ham noget?
Risikerer du ikke at dø ved at træde frem for ham?
21 Når vinden har blæst skyerne væk,
og solen kommer frem i al sin skarphed,
kan intet menneske holde ud at se på dens strålende lys.
22 Mod nord kan man se et gyldent skær,
men Guds herlighed er langt mere strålende.
23 Vi kan ikke mødes på lige fod med den almægtige Gud,
for hans magt er uendelig.
Hans godhed er uden grænser,
og han kan umuligt være uretfærdig.
24 Derfor har mennesker ærefrygt for ham,
men de selvretfærdige kan Gud ikke hjælpe.”

God’s Works and Wisdom
37 “At this also my heart trembles,
And leaps from its place.
2 Hear attentively the thunder of His voice,
And the rumbling that comes from His mouth.
3 He sends it forth under the whole heaven,
His [a]lightning to the ends of the earth.
4 After it (A)a voice roars;
He thunders with His majestic voice,
And He does not restrain them when His voice is heard.
5 God thunders marvelously with His voice;
(B)He does great things which we cannot comprehend.
6 For (C)He says to the snow, ‘Fall on the earth’;
Likewise to the [b]gentle rain and the heavy rain of His strength.
7 He seals the hand of every man,
(D)That (E)all men may know His work.
8 The beasts (F)go into dens,
And remain in their lairs.
9 From the chamber of the south comes the whirlwind,
And cold from the scattering winds of the north.
10 (G)By the breath of God ice is given,
And the broad waters are frozen.
11 Also with moisture He saturates the thick clouds;
He scatters His [c]bright clouds.
12 And they swirl about, being turned by His guidance,
That they may (H)do whatever He commands them
On the face of [d]the whole earth.
13 (I)He causes it to come,
Whether for [e]correction,
Or (J)for His land,
Or (K)for mercy.
14 “Listen to this, O Job;
Stand still and (L)consider the wondrous works of God.
15 Do you know when God [f]dispatches them,
And causes the light of His cloud to shine?
16 (M)Do you know how the clouds are balanced,
Those wondrous works of (N)Him who is perfect in knowledge?
17 Why are your garments hot,
When He quiets the earth by the south wind?
18 With Him, have you (O)spread out the (P)skies,
Strong as a cast metal mirror?
19 “Teach us what we should say to Him,
For we can prepare nothing because of the darkness.
20 Should He be told that I wish to speak?
If a man were to speak, surely he would be swallowed up.
21 Even now men cannot look at the light when it is bright in the skies,
When the wind has passed and cleared them.
22 He comes from the north as golden splendor;
With God is awesome majesty.
23 As for the Almighty, (Q)we cannot find Him;
(R)He is excellent in power,
In judgment and abundant justice;
He does not oppress.
24 Therefore men (S)fear Him;
He shows no partiality to any who are (T)wise of heart.”
Job 37
New International Version
Job 37
New International Version
37 “At this my heart pounds(A)
and leaps from its place.
2 Listen!(B) Listen to the roar of his voice,(C)
to the rumbling that comes from his mouth.(D)
3 He unleashes his lightning(E) beneath the whole heaven
and sends it to the ends of the earth.(F)
4 After that comes the sound of his roar;
he thunders(G) with his majestic voice.(H)
When his voice resounds,
he holds nothing back.
5 God’s voice thunders(I) in marvelous ways;(J)
he does great things beyond our understanding.(K)
6 He says to the snow,(L) ‘Fall on the earth,’
and to the rain shower, ‘Be a mighty downpour.’(M)
7 So that everyone he has made may know his work,(N)
he stops all people from their labor.[a](O)
8 The animals take cover;(P)
they remain in their dens.(Q)
9 The tempest comes out from its chamber,(R)
the cold from the driving winds.(S)
10 The breath of God produces ice,
and the broad waters become frozen.(T)
11 He loads the clouds with moisture;(U)
he scatters his lightning(V) through them.(W)
12 At his direction they swirl around
over the face of the whole earth
to do whatever he commands them.(X)
13 He brings the clouds to punish people,(Y)
or to water his earth and show his love.(Z)
14 “Listen(AA) to this, Job;
stop and consider God’s wonders.(AB)
15 Do you know how God controls the clouds
and makes his lightning(AC) flash?(AD)
16 Do you know how the clouds hang poised,(AE)
those wonders of him who has perfect knowledge?(AF)
17 You who swelter in your clothes
when the land lies hushed under the south wind,(AG)
18 can you join him in spreading out the skies,(AH)
hard as a mirror of cast bronze?(AI)
19 “Tell us what we should say to him;(AJ)
we cannot draw up our case(AK) because of our darkness.(AL)
20 Should he be told that I want to speak?
Would anyone ask to be swallowed up?
21 Now no one can look at the sun,(AM)
bright as it is in the skies
after the wind has swept them clean.
22 Out of the north he comes in golden splendor;(AN)
God comes in awesome majesty.(AO)
23 The Almighty is beyond our reach and exalted in power;(AP)
in his justice(AQ) and great righteousness, he does not oppress.(AR)
24 Therefore, people revere him,(AS)
for does he not have regard for all the wise(AT) in heart?[b]”
