CHAP. XXXVII.

1 God is to be feared because of his great works. 15 His wisdome is vnsearchable in them.

¹At this also my heart trembleth, and is moued out of his place.

²Heare attentiuely the noise of his voice, and the sound that goeth out of his mouth.²

³Hee directeth it vnder the whole heauen, and his lightning vnto the ends of the earth.³

⁴After it a voyce roareth: he thundreth with the voice of his excellencie, and hee will not stay them when his voice is heard.

⁵God thundereth maruellously with his voice: great things doth hee, which we cannot comprehend.

⁶For he saith to the snow, Be thou on the earth: likewise to the small raine, and to the great raine of his strength.⁶

⁷He sealeth vp the hand of euery man; that all men may knowe his worke.

⁸Then the beastes goe into dennes: and remaine in their places.

⁹Out of the South commeth the whirlewinde: and cold out of the North.⁹

¹⁰By the breath of God, frost is giuen: and the breadth of the waters is straitned.

¹¹Also by watring he wearieth the thicke cloud: hee scattereth his bright cloud.¹¹

¹²And it is turned round about by his counsels: that they may doe whatsoeuer hee commaundeth them vpon the face of the world in the earth.

¹³He causeth it to come, whether for correction, or for his land, or for mercy.¹³

¹⁴Hearken vnto this, O Iob: stand still, and consider the wondrous workes of God.

¹⁵Doest thou knowe when God disposed them, and caused the light of his cloud to shine?

¹⁶Doest thou know the ballancings of the clouds, the wondrous workes of him which is perfect in knowledge?

¹⁷How thy garments are warme, when hee quieteth the earth by the South wind?

¹⁸Hast thou with him spread out the skie, which is strong, and as a molten looking glasse?

¹⁹Teach vs what we shall say vnto him; for we cannot order our speach by reason of darknes.

²⁰Shall it bee told him that I speake? if a man speake, surely he shalbe swallowed vp.

²¹And nowe men see not the bright light which is in the clouds: but the wind passeth and cleanseth them.

²²Faire weather commeth out of the North: with God is terrible maiestie.²²

²³Touching the Almighty, we cannot find him out: he is excellent in power, and in iudgement, and in plenty of iustice: he will not afflict.

²⁴Men doe therefore feare him: he respecteth not any that are wise of heart.
