Job 36:27-37:13
1599 Geneva Bible
27 When he restraineth the drops of water, the rain [a]poureth down by the vapor thereof,
28 Which rain the clouds do drop and let fall abundantly upon man.
29 Who can know the divisions of the clouds, and the thunders of his [b]Tabernacle?
30 Behold, he spreadeth his light upon [c]it, and covereth the [d]bottom of the sea.
31 For thereby he judgeth [e]the people, and giveth meat abundantly.
32 He covereth the light with the clouds, and commanded them to go [f]against it.
33 [g]His companion showeth him therefore, and there is anger in rising up.
37 1 Elihu proveth that the unsearchable wisdom of God is manifest by his works. 4 As by the thunders. 6 The snow. 9 The whirlwind. 11 And the rain.
1 At this also mine heart is [h]astonied, and is moved out of his place.
2 Hear the [i]sound of his voice, and the noise that goeth out of his mouth.
3 He directeth it under the whole heaven, and his light unto the ends of the world.
4 After it a noise soundeth: he thundereth with the voice of his majesty, and he will not stay [j]them when his voice is heard.
5 God thundereth marvelously with his voice: he worketh great things, which we know not.
6 For he saith to the snow, Be thou upon the earth [k]likewise to the small rain and to the great rain of his power.
7 With the force thereof he [l]shutteth up every man, that all men may know his work.
8 Then the beasts go into the den, and remain in their places.
9 The whirlwind cometh out of the South, and the cold from the [m]North wind.
10 At the breath of God the frost is given, and the breadth of the waters [n]is made narrow.
11 He maketh also the clouds to [o]labor, to water the earth, and scattereth the cloud of [p]his light.
12 And it is turned about by his government, that they may do whatsoever he commandeth them upon the whole world:
13 Whether it be for [q]punishment, or for his land, or of mercy, he causeth it to come.
