Iyov 37
Orthodox Jewish Bible
37 At this also my lev trembleth, and is moved out of its place.
2 Hear attentively the rogez of His voice, and the sound that goeth out of His mouth.
3 He directeth it under kol HaShomayim, and His ohr (lightning) unto the ends of ha’aretz.
4 After it His kol (voice) roareth; He thundereth with the kol of His majesty; one cannot hold them back when His kol is heard.
5 El thundereth marvellously with His kol; gedolot doeth He, beyond our understanding.
6 For He saith to the snow, Fall thou to the eretz; likewise to the geshem matar, the heavy downpour of rain.
7 He sealeth up kol adam; that all men may know His work.
8 Then the chayyah (beasts) go into their lair, and remain in their places.
9 Out of its cheder (chamber) cometh the whirlwind; and cold out of the driving winds.
10 By the neshamah of El frost is given, and the broad mayim are frozen.
11 Also by watering He loadeth the thick cloud; He scattereth the anan of His ohr (lightning),
12 And it is turned round about by His guidance; that they may do whatsoever He commandeth them upon the face of the tevel (habitable world).
13 He causeth it to happen, whether for correction, or for His land, or for chesed.
14 Pay heed unto this, O Iyov; stand still, and consider the nifle’ot El (wondrous works of G-d).
15 Dost thou know how Elo’ah controls them, and caused the ohr (lightning) of His cloud to flash?
16 Dost thou know the spreading out of the clouds, the wondrous works of Him which is tamim in da’as?
17 You whose garments are hot, when the eretz is still because of the south wind,
18 Hast thou with Him spread out the shekhakim (clouds), hard as a molten mirror?
19 Teach us what we shall say unto Him, for we cannot order our case by reason of choshech.
20 Should it be told Him that I wish to speak? Or should an ish say that he would be swallowed up?
21 And now men cannot look at the bright ohr which is in the clouds, when the ruach passeth, and cleareth them.
22 Splendor of zahav cometh out of the north; with Elo’ah is awesome hod (majesty).
23 Touching Shaddai, we cannot reach Him; He is exalted in ko’ach, and in mishpat, and rov tzedakah; He does not oppress.
24 Anashim do therefore fear Him; He regardeth not any that are wise of heart.
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]”
