Job

Elihu Proclaims God’s Majesty

1Aye, my heart trembleth at this also, and leapeth up out of its place:+ 2Hear attentively the roar of his voice, and the murmur going forth from his mouth.+ 3He sendeth it forth under the whole heaven, and his lightning unto the ends of the earth.+ 4After it a voice roareth: he thundereth with the voice of his excellency, and holdeth not back the flashes when his voice is heard.+ 5God thundereth marvellously with his voice, doing great things which we do not comprehend.+ 6For he saith to the snow, Fall on the earth! and to the pouring rain, even the pouring rains of his might.+ 7He sealeth up the hand of every man; that all men may know his work.+ 8And the wild beast goeth into its lair, and they remain in their dens.+ 9From the chamber [of the south] cometh the whirlwind; and cold from the winds of the north.+ 10By the breath ofGod ice is given; and the breadth of the waters is straitened.+ 11Also with plentiful moisture he loadeth the thick clouds, his light dispels the cloud;+ 12And they are turned every way by his guidance, that they may do whatsoever he commandeth them upon the face of the circuit of the earth,+ 13Whether he cause it to come as a rod, or for his land, or in mercy.+ 14Hearken unto this, Job; stand still and discern the wondrous works ofGod.+ 15Dost thou know howGod hath disposed them, and how he causeth the lightning of his cloud to flash?+ 16Dost thou know about the balancings of the clouds, the wondrous works of him that is perfect in knowledge?+ 17How thy garments become warm when he quieteth the earth by the south wind?+ 18Hast thou with him spread out the sky, firm, like a molten mirror?+ 19Teach us what we shall say unto him! We cannot order [our words] by reason of darkness.+ 20Shall it be told him if I would speak? if a man [so] say, surely he shall be swallowed up.+ 21And now [men] see not the light as it gleameth, it is [hidden] in the skies. But the wind passeth by and cleareth them.+ 22From the north cometh gold; withGod is terrible majesty.+ 23The Almighty, we cannot find him out: excellent in power, and in judgment, and in abundance of justice, he doth not afflict.+ 24Men do therefore fear him: he respecteth not any that are wise of heart.+
