Job 37 :: Legacy Standard Bible (LSB)

“[fn]Listen ^H8085 closely ^H8085 to the thunder ^H7267 of His voice ^H6963,

And the rumbling ^H1899 that goes ^H3318 out ^H3318 from His mouth ^H6310.

“Under ^H8478 the whole ^H3605 heaven ^H8064 He lets ^H8281 it loose ^H8281,

And His [fn]lightning ^H216 to the ends ^H3671 of the earth ^H776.

“After ^H310 it, a voice ^H6963 roars ^H7580;

He thunders ^H7481 with His majestic ^H1347 voice ^H6963,

And He does not restrain ^H6117 [fn]the lightnings when His voice ^H6963 is heard ^H8085.

“God ^H410 thunders ^H7481 with His voice ^H6963 marvelously ^H6381,

Doing ^H6213 great ^H1419 things ^H1419 which we do not ^H3808 know ^H3045.

“For to the snow ^H7950 He says ^H559, ‘Fall ^H1933 on the earth ^H776,’

And to the downpour ^H1653 of rain ^H4306 and the downpour ^H1653 of rains ^H4306, ‘Be strong ^H5797.’

“He seals ^H2856 the hand ^H3027 of every ^H3605 man ^H120,

That all ^H3605 men ^H376 may know ^H3045 His work ^H4639.

“Then the beast ^H2416 goes ^H935 into its lair ^H695

And dwells ^H7931 in its [fn]den ^H4585.

“Out of the [fn]south ^H2315 comes ^H935 the storm ^H5492,

And out of the [fn]north ^H2219 the cold ^H7135.

“From the breath ^H5397 of God ^H410 ice ^H7140 is made ^H5414,

And the expanse ^H7341 of the waters ^H4325 is frozen ^H4164.

“Also ^H637 with moisture ^H7377 He loads ^H2959 the thick ^H5645 cloud ^H5645;

He scatters ^H6327 the cloud ^H6051 of His [fn]lightning ^H216.

“It changes ^H4524 direction ^H4524, turning ^H2015 around ^H2015 by His guidance ^H8458,

That [fn]it may do ^H6466 whatever ^H3605 H834 He commands ^H6680 [fn]it

On the face ^H6440 of the inhabited ^H8398 earth ^H776.

“Whether ^H518 for [fn]correction ^H7626, or ^H518 for His world ^H776,

Or ^H518 for lovingkindness ^H2617, He causes it to [fn]happen ^H4672.

“Give ^H238 ear ^H238 to this ^H2088, O Job ^H347,

Stand ^H5975 and carefully ^H995 consider ^H995 the wondrous ^H6381 deeds ^H6381 of God ^H410.

“Do you know ^H3045 how God ^H433 establishes ^H7760 them,

And makes the [fn]lightning ^H216 of His cloud ^H6051 to shine ^H3313?

“Do you know ^H3045 about ^H5921 the layers ^H4657 of the thick ^H5645 clouds ^H5645,

The wonders ^H4652 of one [fn]perfect ^H8549 in knowledge ^H1843,

You whose ^H834 garments ^H899 are hot ^H2525,

When the land ^H776 is ^H8252 quiet ^H8252 because ^H4480 of the south ^H1864 wind?

“Can you, with Him, spread ^H7554 out ^H7554 the skies ^H7834,

Strong ^H2389 as a molten ^H3332 mirror ^H7209?

“Make ^H3045 us know ^H3045 what ^H4100 we shall say ^H559 to Him;

We cannot ^H3808 arrange ^H6186 our case because ^H4480 H6440 of darkness ^H2822.

“Shall it be recounted ^H5608 to Him that I would speak ^H1696?

[fn]If ^H518 a man ^H376 says ^H559 a word, will He indeed be swallowed ^H1104 up?

“So now ^H6258 [fn]men do not see ^H7200 the light ^H216 which ^H1931 is bright ^H925 in the skies ^H7834;

But the wind ^H7307 has passed ^H5674 and cleared ^H2891 them.

“Out of the north ^H6828 comes ^H857 golden ^H2091 splendor;

Around ^H5921 God ^H433 is fearsome ^H3372 majesty ^H1935.

“The Almighty ^H7706—we cannot ^H3808 find ^H4672 Him;

He is exalted ^H7689 in power ^H3581

And He will not afflict ^H6031 justice ^H4941 and abundant ^H7230 righteousness ^H6666.

“Therefore ^H3651 men ^H376 fear ^H3372 Him;

He does not regard ^H7200 any ^H3605 who are wise ^H2450 of heart ^H3820.”
