Job 37
Nueva Versión Internacional
37 »Al llegar a este punto,[a] mi corazón se acelera
como si fuera a salírseme del pecho.
2 ¡Escucha, escucha el estruendo de su voz,
el ruido estrepitoso que sale de su boca!
3 Lanza sus rayos bajo el cielo entero;
su resplandor, hasta los confines de la tierra.
4 Sigue luego el rugido majestuoso de su voz;
¡ella resuena y no retiene sus rayos!
5 Dios hace tronar su voz
y se producen maravillas:
¡Dios hace grandes cosas
que rebasan nuestra comprensión!
6 A la nieve ordena: “¡Cae sobre la tierra!”,
y a la lluvia: “¡Muestra tu poder!”.
7 Detiene la actividad humana
para que todos reconozcan sus obras.
8 Los animales buscan abrigo
y se quedan en sus cuevas.
9 De las constelaciones del sur viene la tempestad;
de los vientos del norte, el frío.
10 Por el aliento de Dios se forma el hielo
y se congelan las masas de agua.
11 Con agua de lluvia carga las nubes
y lanza sus relámpagos desde ellas;
12 y estas van de un lado a otro,
por toda la faz de la tierra,
dispuestas a cumplir sus mandatos.
13 Por su bondad, hace que vengan las nubes,
ya sea para castigar o para bendecir.[b]
14 »Escucha esto, Job,
ponte a pensar en las maravillas de Dios.
15 ¿Sabes cómo controla Dios las nubes
y cómo hace que su relámpago deslumbre?
16 ¿Sabes cómo las nubes,
maravillas del conocimiento perfecto,[c]
se mantienen suspendidas?
17 Tú, que te sofocas de calor entre tus ropas
cuando la tierra dormita bajo el viento del sur,
18 ¿puedes ayudarle a extender los cielos,
sólidos como espejo de bronce bruñido?
19 »Haznos saber qué debemos responderle,
pues debido a nuestra ignorancia[d]
no tenemos argumentos.
20 ¿Le haré saber que estoy pidiendo la palabra?
¿Quién se atreve a hablar para ser destruido?
21 No hay quien pueda mirar al sol brillante
después de que el viento ha despejado los cielos.
22 Un dorado resplandor viene del norte;
¡viene Dios, envuelto en terrible majestad!
23 El Todopoderoso no está a nuestro alcance;
excelso es su poder.
Grandes son su justicia y rectitud;
¡a nadie oprime!
24 Por eso le temen los mortales,
porque él no toma en cuenta a los sabios de corazón».[e]

Job 37

Elihu continues to speak
37 ‘When I hear the noise of a storm like that,
I shake with fear.
2 Listen carefully to the sound of God's voice,
when he speaks like thunder.
3 He sends lightning across the whole sky.
Its light reaches everywhere on the earth.
4 After the lightning comes the sound of his voice.
He roars like the great sound of thunder.
When he speaks like that,
the storm never stops.
5 When God's voice speaks,
he causes wonderful things to happen.
He does great things that we cannot understand.
6 He tells the snow to fall to the earth.
He tells the rain to pour down
and make the ground wet.
7 He does that to show people what he can do.
He causes everyone to stop their own work.
8 The wild animals have to hide in a safe place.
They have to stay in their homes.
9 The strong wind of a storm comes from the place where it starts.
Cold winds blow strongly from the north.
10 The cold wind is like God's breath.
He causes ice to cover the rivers and the lakes.
11 He fills the clouds with lots of water.
He sends the lightning through the clouds.
12 The clouds move around across the whole earth.
They go wherever God sends them.
He tells them what they must do.
13 He may send a storm as punishment for his land.
Or he may send it to show his love for his people.
14 Listen carefully to what I am telling you, Job.
Stop and think about the wonderful things that God does.
15 Do you know how God commands the storms?
Do you know how he sends the bright lightning from the clouds?
16 Can you explain how the clouds hang in the sky?
God knows everything perfectly
and he does these wonderful things.
17 When the hot wind blows from the south,
nothing moves on the earth.
Your body is too hot in the clothes that you wear.
18 God puts the clouds across the whole sky,
like a metal mirror that shines brightly.
Can you also do that? No!
19 Tell us, Job, what things we should say to God.
We cannot argue with him,
because our minds are in a dark place.
20 Should I tell God that I want to speak to him?
That would be the end of me!
21 Now the wind has blown all the clouds away.
The sun shines brightly in the sky.
It is too bright for us to look at.
22 God comes with his bright glory from the north!
His glory is all around him.
It makes us afraid.
23 Almighty God is so great that we cannot come near to him.
He is very powerful.
But he always does what is right and fair.
He is not cruel to people.
24 So people respect God with fear.
He does not listen to those who think that they are wise.’
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]”
