Job 37:6-20
New American Standard Bible
Chapter 37
6
For to the snow He says, ‘Fall on the earth,’
And to the downpour and the rain, ‘Be strong.’
7
He seals the hand of every person,
So that all people may know His work.
8
Then the animal goes into its lair
And remains in its den.
9
From the south comes the storm,
And from the north wind the cold.
10
From the breath of God ice is made,
And the expanse of the waters is frozen.
11
He also loads the clouds with moisture;
He disperses 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 earth,
Or for goodness, He causes it to happen.
14
'Listen to this, Job;
Stand and consider the wonders of God.
15
Do you know how God establishes them,
And makes the lightning of His clouds to shine?
16
Do you know about the hovering of the clouds,
The wonders of One who is perfect in knowledge,
17
You whose garments are hot
When the land is still because of the south wind?
18
Can you, with Him, spread out the skies,
Strong as a cast metal mirror?
19
Teach us what we are to say to Him;
We cannot present
our case
because of darkness.
20
Shall it be told Him that I would speak?
Or should a man say that he would be swallowed up?
King James Version
Chapter 37
6
For he saith to the snow, Be thou on the earth; likewise to the small rain, and to the great rain of his strength.
7
He sealeth up the hand of every man; that all men may know his work.
8
Then the beasts go into dens, and remain in their places.
9
Out of the south cometh the whirlwind: and cold out of the north.
10
By the breath of God frost is given: and the breadth of the waters is straitened.
11
Also by watering he wearieth the thick cloud: he scattereth his bright cloud:
12
And it is turned round about by his counsels: that they may do whatsoever he commandeth them upon the face of the world in the earth.
13
He causeth it to come, whether for correction, or for his land, or for mercy.
14
Hearken unto this, O Job: stand still, and consider the wondrous works of God.
15
Dost thou know when God disposed them, and caused the light of his cloud to shine?
16
Dost thou know the balancings of the clouds, the wondrous works of him which is perfect in knowledge?
17
How thy garments are warm, when he quieteth the earth by the south wind?
18
Hast thou with him spread out the sky, which is strong, and as a molten looking glass?
19
Teach us what we shall say unto him; for we cannot order our speech by reason of darkness.
20
Shall it be told him that I speak? if a man speak, surely he shall be swallowed up.
Christian Standard Bible
Chapter 37
6
For he says to the snow, "Fall to the earth,"
and the torrential rains, his mighty torrential rains,
7
serve as his sign to all mankind,
so that all men may know his work.
8
The wild animals enter their lairs
and stay in their dens.
9
The windstorm comes from its chamber,
and the cold from the driving north winds.
10
Ice is formed by the breath of God,
and watery expanses are frozen.
11
He saturates clouds with moisture;
he scatters his lightning through them.
12
They swirl about,
turning round and round at his direction,
accomplishing everything he commands them
over the surface of the inhabited world.
13
He causes this to happen for punishment,
for his land, or for his faithful love.
14
Listen to this, Job.
Stop and consider God’s wonders.
15
Do you know how God directs his clouds
or makes their lightning flash?
16
Do you understand how the clouds float,
those wonderful works of him who has perfect knowledge?
17
You whose clothes get hot
when the south wind brings calm to the land,
18
can you help God spread out the skies
as hard as a cast metal mirror?
19
Teach us what we should say to him;
we cannot prepare our case because of our darkness.
20
Should he be told that I want to speak?
Can a man speak when he is confused?
New Living Translation
Chapter 37
6
'He directs the snow to fall on the earth
and tells the rain to pour down.
7
Then everyone stops working
so they can watch his power.
8
The wild animals take cover
and stay inside their dens.
9
The stormy wind comes from its chamber,
and the driving winds bring the cold.
10
God’s breath sends the ice,
freezing wide expanses of water.
11
He loads the clouds with moisture,
and they flash with his lightning.
12
The clouds churn about at his direction.
They do whatever he commands throughout the earth.
13
He makes these things happen either to punish people
or to show his unfailing love.
14
'Pay attention to this, Job.
Stop and consider the wonderful miracles of God!
15
Do you know how God controls the storm
and causes the lightning to flash from his clouds?
16
Do you understand how he moves the clouds
with wonderful perfection and skill?
17
When you are sweltering in your clothes
and the south wind dies down and everything is still,
18
he makes the skies reflect the heat like a bronze mirror.
Can you do that?
19
'So teach the rest of us what to say to God.
We are too ignorant to make our own arguments.
20
Should God be notified that I want to speak?
Can people even speak when they are confused?
English Standard Version
Chapter 37
6
For to the snow he says, ‘Fall on the earth,’
likewise to the downpour, his mighty downpour.
7
He seals up the hand of every man,
that all men whom he made may know it.
8
Then the beasts go into their lairs,
and remain in their dens.
9
From its chamber comes the whirlwind,
and cold from the scattering winds.
10
By the breath of God ice is given,
and the broad waters are frozen fast.
11
He loads the thick cloud with moisture;
the clouds scatter his lightning.
12
They turn around and around by his guidance,
to accomplish all that he commands them
on the face of the habitable world.
13
Whether for correction or for his land
or for love, he causes it to happen.
14
"Hear this, O Job;
stop and consider the wondrous works of God.
15
Do you know how God lays his command upon them
and causes the lightning of his cloud to shine?
16
Do you know the balancings of the clouds,
the wondrous works of him who is perfect in knowledge,
17
you whose garments are hot
when the earth is still because of the south wind?
18
Can you, like him, spread out the skies,
hard as a cast metal mirror?
19
Teach us what we shall say to him;
we cannot draw up our case because of darkness.
20
Shall it be told him that I would speak?
Did a man ever wish that he would be swallowed up?
New International Version
Chapter 37
6
He says to the snow, ‘Fall on the earth,’
and to the rain shower, ‘Be a mighty downpour.’
7
So that everyone he has made may know his work,
he stops all people from their labor.
8
The animals take cover;
they remain in their dens.
9
The tempest comes out from its chamber,
the cold from the driving winds.
10
The breath of God produces ice,
and the broad waters become frozen.
11
He loads the clouds with moisture;
he scatters his lightning through them.
12
At his direction they swirl around
over the face of the whole earth
to do whatever he commands them.
13
He brings the clouds to punish people,
or to water his earth and show his love.
14
"Listen to this, Job;
stop and consider God’s wonders.
15
Do you know how God controls the clouds
and makes his lightning flash?
16
Do you know how the clouds hang poised,
those wonders of him who has perfect knowledge?
17
You who swelter in your clothes
when the land lies hushed under the south wind,
18
can you join him in spreading out the skies,
hard as a mirror of cast bronze?
19
"Tell us what we should say to him;
we cannot draw up our case because of our darkness.
20
Should he be told that I want to speak?
Would anyone ask to be swallowed up?
New King James Version
Chapter 37
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.
