Job 36:27-37:13
Authorized (King James) Version
27 For he maketh small the drops of water:
they pour down rain according to the vapour thereof:
28 which the clouds do drop and distil upon man abundantly.
29 Also can any understand the spreadings of the clouds,
or the noise of his tabernacle?
30 Behold, he spreadeth his light upon it,
and covereth the bottom of the sea.
31 For by them judgeth he the people;
he giveth meat in abundance.
32 With clouds he covereth the light;
and commandeth it not to shine by the cloud that cometh betwixt.
33 The noise thereof sheweth concerning it,
the cattle also concerning the vapour.
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.
Job 36:27-37:13
21st Century King James Version
27 For He maketh small the drops of water; they pour down rain according to the vapor thereof,
28 which the clouds do drop and distill upon man abundantly.
29 Also, can any understand the spreadings of the clouds, or the noise of His tabernacle?
30 Behold, He spreadeth His light upon it, and covereth the bottom of the sea.
31 For by them judgeth He the people; He giveth meat in abundance.
32 With clouds He covereth the light, and commandeth it not to shine by the cloud that cometh between.
33 The noise thereof showeth concerning it; the cattle also, concerning the vapor.
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 marvelously 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.
