Job 37
Revised Geneva Translation
37 “At this, also, my heart is astonished, and is moved out of its place.
2 “Hear the sound of His voice, and the noise that goes out of His Mouth.
3 “He directs it under the whole heaven, and His light to the ends of the world.
4 “After it, a noise sounds. He thunders with the Voice of His majesty. And He will not stop them when His Voice is heard.
5 “God thunders marvelously with His Voice. He works great things which we do not know.
6 “For He says to the snow, ‘Be upon the Earth,’ likewise to the small rain and to the great rain of His power.
7 “With its force He shuts up every man, so that all men may know His work.
8 “Then the beasts go into the den and remain in their places.
9 “The whirlwind comes out of the South, and the cold from the North wind.
10 “At the breath of God the frost is given and the breadth of the waters is made narrow.
11 “He also makes the clouds labor to water, and scatters the cloud with His light.
12 “And it is turned by His guidance, so that they may do whatever He commands them upon the whole world.
13 “Whether it be for punishment, or for His land, or from mercy, He causes it to come.
14 “Listen to this, O Job! Stand and consider the wondrous works of God.
15 “Do you know when God placed them, and caused the light of His cloud to shine?
16 “Have you known the variety of the cloud, the wondrous works of Him Who is perfect in knowledge,
17 “how your clothes are warm when He makes the Earth quiet through the South wind?
18 “Have you stretched out the heavens, which are strong as a molten glass?
19 “Tell us what we shall say to Him. We cannot arrange anything because of darkness.
20 “Shall it be told to Him when I speak? Or shall man speak when he shall be destroyed?
21 “And now men do not see the light which shines in the clouds, but the wind passes and cleanses them.
22 “The brightness comes out of the North, the praise to God, which is terrible.
23 “The Almighty: we cannot find him. Excellent in power and judgment, and abundant in justice, He does not afflict.
24 “Therefore, let men fear him. He will not regard any who are wise in their own heart.”

Job 37
Svenska Folkbibeln 2015
37 Inför sådant bävar mitt hjärta
och slår häftigt i mitt bröst.
2 (A) Lyssna noga
till dundret från hans röst,
till mullret som går ut
från hans mun.
3 Han sänder ut det över hela himlen,
sina blixtar till jordens ändar.
4 Efteråt ryter dånet,
han dundrar
med sin väldiga röst,
han spar inte på blixtarna
när han låter sin röst höras.
5 (B) Gud dundrar underbart med sin röst,
han gör stora och ofattbara ting.
6 (C) Snön befaller han:
”Fall över jorden!”,
och regnet:
”Kraftiga skurar av regn!”
7 Han binder[a] alla människors händer
så att alla lär känna hans gärningar.
8 Vilddjuren drar sig in i sina gömslen,
de blir kvar i sina hålor.
9 (D) Stormen kommer från sin kammare,
kölden kommer med
nordanvinden.
10 (E) Gud sänder frost
med sin andedräkt,
och de vida vattnen fryser till.
11 Han lastar skyarna med väta
och sprider sina åskmoln
vida omkring.
12 (F) De far runt åt alla håll
efter hans styrning
och utför allt han befaller dem
över hela jordens yta.
13 Han låter dem komma som straff,
för att hjälpa hans land
eller visa hans godhet.
14 Lyssna till detta, Job,
stanna och tänk på Guds under!
15 Förstår du hur Gud styr dem
och låter blixten lysa fram
från sitt moln?
16 Förstår du lagen för skyarnas jämvikt,
den Allvises underverk,
17 hur dina kläder blir heta
när jorden blir stilla
under sunnanvinden?
18 Kan du, med honom,
breda ut skyarna som ett valv,
fasta som en spegel av gjuten metall?
19 Lär oss vad vi ska säga till honom,
i vårt mörker har vi inget
att lägga fram.
20 Ska det kungöras för honom
att jag vill tala?
Ingen ber väl om att bli slukad?
21 Ingen kan väl se på ljuset
som strålar i skyarna
när vinden har gått fram
och skingrat dem?
22 Från norr[b] kommer en glans av guld,
ett skrämmande majestät
omger Gud.
23 (G) Den Allsmäktige kan vi inte finna,
han är upphöjd i kraft och dom.
Han kan inte kränka
sin stora rättfärdighet.
24 Därför fruktar människorna honom.
Han bryr sig inte om dem
som tycker sig vara visa.
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]”

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.”
