Job 37  Legacy Standard Bible

37 “At this also my heart trembles,
And leaps from its place.
^2 [a]Listen closely to the ^(A)thunder of His voice,
And the rumbling that goes out from His mouth.
³ Under the whole heaven He lets it loose,
And His ^[b]lightning to the ^(B)ends of the earth.
⁴ After it, a voice roars;
He thunders with His majestic voice,
And He does not restrain ^[c]the lightnings when His voice is heard.
⁵ God ^(C)thunders with His voice marvelously,
Doing ^(D)great things which we do not know.
⁶ For to ^(E)the snow He says, ‘Fall on the earth,’
And to the ^(F)downpour of rain and the downpour of rains, ‘Be strong.’
⁷ He ^(G)seals the hand of every man,
That ^(H)all men may know His work.
⁸ Then the beast goes into its ^(I)lair
And dwells in its ^[d]den.
⁹ Out of the ^[e](J)south comes the storm,
And out of the ^[f]north the cold.
¹⁰ From the breath of God ^(K)ice is made,
And the expanse of the waters is frozen.
¹¹ Also with moisture He ^(L)loads the thick cloud;
He ^(M)scatters ^(N)the cloud of His ^[g]lightning.
¹² It changes direction, turning around by His guidance,
That ^[h]it may do whatever He ^(O)commands ^[i]it
On the ^(P)face of the inhabited earth.
¹³ Whether for ^[j](Q)correction, or for ^(R)His world,
Or for ^(S)lovingkindness, He causes it to ^[k]happen.
