Job 36:27-37:13
World English Bible
27 For he draws up the drops of water,
which distill in rain from his vapor,
28 which the skies pour down
and which drop on man abundantly.
29 Yes, can any understand the spreading of the clouds,
and the thunderings of his pavilion?
30 Behold, he spreads his light around him.
He covers the bottom of the sea.
31 For by these he judges the people.
He gives food in abundance.
32 He covers his hands with the lightning,
and commands it to strike the mark.
33 Its noise tells about him,
and the livestock also concerning the storm that comes up.
37 “Yes, at this my heart trembles,
and is moved out of its place.
2 Hear, oh, hear the noise of his voice,
the sound that goes out of his mouth.
3 He sends it out under the whole sky,
and his lightning to the ends of the earth.
4 After it a voice roars.
He thunders with the voice of his majesty.
He doesn’t hold back anything when his voice is heard.
5 God thunders marvelously with his voice.
He does great things, which we can’t comprehend.
6 For he says to the snow, ‘Fall on the earth,’
likewise to the shower of rain,
and to the showers of his mighty rain.
7 He seals up the hand of every man,
that all men whom he has made may know it.
8 Then the animals take cover,
and remain in their dens.
9 Out of its room comes the storm,
and cold out of the north.
10 By the breath of God, ice is given,
and the width of the waters is frozen.
11 Yes, he loads the thick cloud with moisture.
He spreads abroad the cloud of his lightning.
12 It is turned around by his guidance,
that they may do whatever he commands them
on the surface of the habitable world,
13 Whether it is for correction, or for his land,
or for loving kindness, that he causes it to come.
Job 36:27-37:13
New King James Version
27 For He (A)draws up drops of water,
Which distill as rain from the mist,
28 (B)Which the clouds drop down
And pour abundantly on man.
29 Indeed, can anyone understand the spreading of clouds,
The thunder from His canopy?
30 Look, He (C)scatters His light upon it,
And covers the depths of the sea.
31 For (D)by these He judges the peoples;
He (E)gives food in abundance.
32 (F)He covers His hands with lightning,
And commands it to [a]strike.
33 (G)His thunder declares it,
The cattle also, concerning [b]the rising storm.
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 [c]lightning to the ends of the earth.
4 After it (H)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;
(I)He does great things which we cannot comprehend.
6 For (J)He says to the snow, ‘Fall on the earth’;
Likewise to the [d]gentle rain and the heavy rain of His strength.
7 He seals the hand of every man,
(K)That (L)all men may know His work.
8 The beasts (M)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 (N)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 [e]bright clouds.
12 And they swirl about, being turned by His guidance,
That they may (O)do whatever He commands them
On the face of [f]the whole earth.
13 (P)He causes it to come,
Whether for [g]correction,
Or (Q)for His land,
Or (R)for mercy.
