## Elihu Speaks of God's Voice
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 1
|
||
|
|
"At this also my heart trembles, And leaps from its place.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 2
|
||
|
|
Listen closely to the thunder of His voice, And the rumbling that goes out from His mouth.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 3
|
||
|
|
Under the whole heaven He lets it loose, And 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 the lightnings when His voice is heard.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 5
|
||
|
|
God thunders with His voice marvelously, Doing great things which we do not know.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 6
|
||
|
|
For to the snow He says, 'Fall on the earth,' And to the downpour of rain and the downpour of rains, 'Be strong.'
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 7
|
||
|
|
He seals the hand of every man, That all men may know His work.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 8
|
||
|
|
Then the beast goes into its lair And dwells in its den.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 9
|
||
|
|
Out of the south comes the storm, And out of the north the cold.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 10
|
||
|
|
From the breath of God ice is made, And the expanse of the waters is frozen.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 11
|
||
|
|
Also with moisture He loads the thick cloud; He scatters the cloud of His lightning.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 12
|
||
|
|
It changes direction, turning around by His guidance, That it may do whatever He commands it On the face of the inhabited earth.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 13
|
||
|
|
Whether for correction, or for His world, Or for lovingkindness, He causes it to happen.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 14
|
||
|
|
"Give ear to this, O Job, Stand and carefully consider the wondrous deeds of God.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 15
|
||
|
|
Do you know how God establishes them, And makes the lightning of His cloud to shine?
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 16
|
||
|
|
Do you know about the layers of the thick clouds, The wonders of one perfect in knowledge,
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 17
|
||
|
|
You whose garments are hot, When the land is quiet because of the south wind?
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 18
|
||
|
|
Can you, with Him, spread out the skies, Strong as a molten mirror?
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 19
|
||
|
|
Make us know what we shall say to Him; We cannot arrange _our case_ because of darkness.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 20
|
||
|
|
Shall it be recounted to Him that I would speak? If a man says _a word_, will He indeed be swallowed up?
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 21
|
||
|
|
"So now men do not see the light which is bright in the skies; But the wind has passed and cleared them.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 22
|
||
|
|
Out of the north comes golden _splendor_; Around God is fearsome majesty.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 23
|
||
|
|
The Almighty--we cannot find Him; He is exalted in power And He will not afflict justice and abundant righteousness.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
###### 24
|
||
|
|
Therefore men fear Him; He does not regard any who are wise of heart."
