Elihu Proclaims God’s Majesty

1Also, at this my heart trembleth, And it moveth from its place.+ 2Hearken diligently to the trembling of His voice, Yea, the sound from His mouth goeth forth.+ 3Under the whole heavens He directeth it, And its light is over the skirts of the earth.+ 4After it roar doth a voice--He thundereth with the voice of His excellency, And He doth not hold them back, When His voice is heard.+ 5God thundereth with His voice wonderfully, Doing great things and we know not.+ 6For to snow He saith, `Be on the earth.' And the small rain and great rain of His power.+ 7Into the hand of every man he sealeth, For the knowledge by all men of His work.+ 8And enter doth the beast into covert, And in its habitations it doth continue.+ 9From the inner chamber cometh a hurricane, And from scatterings winds--cold,+ 10From the breath of God is frost given, And the breadth of waters is straitened,+ 11Yea, by filling He doth press out a cloud, Scatter a cloud doth His light.+ 12And it is turning itself round by His counsels, For their doing all He commandeth them, On the face of the habitable earth.+ 13Whether for a rod, or for His land, Or for kindness--He doth cause it to come.+ 14Hear this, O Job, Stand and consider the wonders of God.+ 15Dost thou know when God doth place them, And caused to shine the light of His cloud?+ 16Dost thou know the balancings of a cloud? The wonders of the Perfect in knowledge?+ 17How thy garments are warm, In the quieting of the earth from the south?+ 18Thou hast made an expanse with Him For the clouds--strong as a hard mirror!+ 19Let us know what we say to Him, We set not in array because of darkness.+ 20Is it declared to Him that I speak? If a man hath spoken, surely he is swallowed up.+ 21And now, they have not seen the light, Bright it is in the clouds, And the wind hath passed by and cleanseth them.+ 22From the golden north it cometh, Beside God is fearful honour.+ 23The Mighty! we have not found Him out, High in power and judgment, He doth not answer! And abundant in righteousness,+ 24Therefore do men fear Him, He seeth not any of the wise of heart.+
