1Also, at this my heart trembleth, And it moveth from its place.
1Aye, my heart trembleth at this also, and leapeth up out of its place:
2Hearken diligently to the trembling of His voice, Yea, the sound from His mouth goeth forth.
2Hear attentively the roar of his voice, and the murmur going forth from his mouth.
3Under the whole heavens He directeth it, And its light <FI>is<Fi> over the skirts of the earth.
3He sendeth it forth under the whole heaven, and his lightning unto the ends 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.
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 with His voice wonderfully, Doing great things and we know not.
5God thundereth marvellously with his voice, doing great things which we do not comprehend.
6For to snow He saith, `Be <FI>on<Fi> the earth.' And the small rain and great rain of His power.
6For he saith to the snow, Fall on the earth! and to the pouring rain, even the pouring rains of his might.
7Into the hand of every man he sealeth, For the knowledge by all men of His work.
7He sealeth up the hand of every man; that all men may know his work.
8And enter doth the beast into covert, And in its habitations it doth continue.
8And the wild beast goeth into its lair, and they remain in their dens.
9From the inner chamber cometh a hurricane, And from scatterings winds--cold,
9From the chamber [of the south] cometh the whirlwind; and cold from the winds of the north.
10From the breath of God is frost given, And the breadth of waters is straitened,
10By the breath ofGod ice is given; and the breadth of the waters is straitened.
11Yea, by filling He doth press out a cloud, Scatter a cloud doth His light.
11Also with plentiful moisture he loadeth the thick clouds, his light dispels the cloud;
12And it is turning itself round by His counsels, For their doing all He commandeth them, On the face of the habitable earth.
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 for a rod, or for His land, Or for kindness--He doth cause it to come.
13Whether he cause it to come as a rod, or for his land, or in mercy.
14Hear this, O Job, Stand and consider the wonders of God.
14Hearken unto this, Job; stand still and discern the wondrous works ofGod.
15Dost thou know when God doth place them, And caused to shine the light of His cloud?
15Dost thou know howGod hath disposed them, and how he causeth the lightning of his cloud to flash?
16Dost thou know the balancings of a cloud? The wonders of the Perfect in knowledge?
16Dost thou know about the balancings of the clouds, the wondrous works of him that is perfect in knowledge?
17How thy garments <FI>are<Fi> warm, In the quieting of the earth from the south?
17How thy garments become warm when he quieteth the earth by the south wind?
18Thou hast made an expanse with Him For the clouds--strong as a hard mirror!
18Hast thou with him spread out the sky, firm, like a molten mirror?
19Let us know what we say to Him, We set not in array because of darkness.
19Teach us what we shall say unto him! We cannot order [our words] by reason of darkness.
20Is it declared to Him that I speak? If a man hath spoken, surely he is swallowed up.
20Shall it be told him if I would speak? if a man [so] say, surely he shall be swallowed up.
21And now, they have not seen the light, Bright it <FI>is<Fi> in the clouds, And the wind hath passed by and cleanseth them.
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 golden north it cometh, Beside God <FI>is<Fi> fearful honour.
22From the north cometh gold; withGod is terrible majesty.
