# Job 37 (New King James Version)
God's Works and Wisdom

##### Chapter 37
###### 1 "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 lightning to the ends of the earth.  

###### 4 After it 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;  
He does great things which we cannot comprehend.  

###### 6 For He says to the snow, 'Fall _on_ the earth';  
Likewise to the gentle rain and the heavy rain of His strength.  

###### 7 He seals the hand of every man,  
That all men may know His work.  

###### 8 The beasts 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 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 bright clouds.  

###### 12 And they swirl about, being turned by His guidance,  
That they may do whatever He commands them  
On the face of the whole earth.  

###### 13 He causes it to come,  
Whether for correction,  
Or for His land,  
Or for mercy.

###### 14 "Listen to this, O Job;  
Stand still and consider the wondrous works of God.  

###### 15 Do you know when God dispatches them,  
And causes the light of His cloud to shine?  

###### 16 Do you know how the clouds are balanced,  
Those wondrous works of Him who is perfect in knowledge?  

###### 17 Why _are_ your garments hot,  
When He quiets the earth by the south _wind?_  

###### 18 With Him, have you spread out the skies,  
Strong as a cast metal mirror?

###### 19 "Teach us what we should say to Him,  
_For_ we can prepare nothing because of the darkness.  

###### 20 Should He be told that I _wish to_ speak?  
If a man were to speak, surely he would be swallowed up.  

###### 21 Even now _men_ cannot look at the light _when it is_ bright in the skies,  
When the wind has passed and cleared them.  

###### 22 He comes from the north _as_ golden _splendor;_  
With God _is_ awesome majesty.  

###### 23 _As for_ the Almighty, we cannot find Him;  
_He is_ excellent in power,  
_In_ judgment and abundant justice;  
He does not oppress.  

###### 24 Therefore men fear Him;  
He shows no partiality to any _who are_ wise of heart."
