Job 37
King James Version
Job 37
King James Version
37 At this also my heart trembleth, and is moved out of his place.
2 Hear attentively the noise of his voice, and the sound that goeth out of his mouth.
3 He directeth it under the whole heaven, and his lightning unto the ends of the earth.
4 After it a voice roareth: he thundereth with the voice of his excellency; and he will not stay them when his voice is heard.
5 God thundereth marvellously with his voice; great things doeth he, which we cannot comprehend.
6 For he saith to the snow, Be thou on the earth; likewise to the small rain, and to the great rain of his strength.
7 He sealeth up the hand of every man; that all men may know his work.
8 Then the beasts go into dens, and remain in their places.
9 Out of the south cometh the whirlwind: and cold out of the north.
10 By the breath of God frost is given: and the breadth of the waters is straitened.
11 Also by watering he wearieth the thick cloud: he scattereth his bright cloud:
12 And it is turned round about by his counsels: that they may do whatsoever he commandeth them upon the face of the world in the earth.
13 He causeth it to come, whether for correction, or for his land, or for mercy.
14 Hearken unto this, O Job: stand still, and consider the wondrous works of God.
15 Dost thou know when God disposed them, and caused the light of his cloud to shine?
16 Dost thou know the balancings of the clouds, the wondrous works of him which is perfect in knowledge?
17 How thy garments are warm, when he quieteth the earth by the south wind?
18 Hast thou with him spread out the sky, which is strong, and as a molten looking glass?
19 Teach us what we shall say unto him; for we cannot order our speech by reason of darkness.
20 Shall it be told him that I speak? if a man speak, surely he shall be swallowed up.
21 And now men see not the bright light which is in the clouds: but the wind passeth, and cleanseth them.
22 Fair weather cometh out of the north: with God is terrible majesty.
23 Touching the Almighty, we cannot find him out: he is excellent in power, and in judgment, and in plenty of justice: he will not afflict.
24 Men do therefore fear him: he respecteth not any that are wise of heart.

Elihu talar om Guds makt
37 Mitt hjärta bävar för detta,
det slår häftigt inom mig.
2 Hör, hör dundret av hans stämma,
dånet ur hans mun!
3 Han låter det rulla fram över himlen
och sänder sina blixtar till jordens ändar.
4 Sedan ryter dånet,
hans majestäts väldiga stämma.
Han sparar ingenting
när han låter sin stämma höras.
5 Hans röst dånar oerhört,
han gör under som övergår vårt förstånd.
6 Han befaller snön att falla ner på jorden
och regnet att ösa ner.
7 Då stoppar han människans arbete,
så att alla ska kunna se hans verk.
8 Djuren gömmer sig
och stannar i sina hålor.
9 Stormen kommer ut från sin boplats
och kylan sprids med vindarna.
10 När Gud blåser bildas is,
de vida vattnen fryser till.
11 Han fyller molnen med fukt
och sprider ut sina blixtar genom dem.
12 De virvlar runt åt alla håll,
så som han vill,
de utför hans befallningar på hela jorden.
13 Han sänder dem som straff,
eller för att på jorden visa sin nåd.
14 Lyssna nu, Job, stanna upp
och tänk på Guds under!
15 Vet du hur Gud styr dem
och hur han får blixtarna att skjuta fram ur molnen?
16 Förstår du dig på molnens balans,
den Allvetandes under?
17 När du lider av hettan i de kläder du bär,
och marken blir stilla i sunnanvinden,
18 kan du då, så som han gör, breda ut molnen,
hårda och blanka som spegeln?
19 Lär oss vad vi ska säga till honom!
I det mörker vi bor i kan vi ju inte föra vår talan.
20 Går det att meddela honom att jag vill tala?
Vill någon bli uppslukad levande?[a]
21 Ingen kan ju se på solen,
så stark som den är,
när vinden har sopat himlen ren.
22 Norrifrån kommer en gyllene glans,
det är Gud i hans skrämmande majestät.
23 Vi kan aldrig nå fram till den Väldige;
han är upphöjd i styrka,
rättvisa och stor rättfärdighet
och kan inte kränkas.
24 Därför fruktar människor för honom.
Är det inte de som är visa i sina hjärtan som han ser?[b]
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]”
