1 At this also my heart is astonied, and moued out of his place
2 Heare then the sounde of his voyce, & the noyse that goeth out of his mouth
3 He directeth it vnder the whole heauen, and his light vnto the endes of the worlde
4 A roring voyce foloweth it: for his glorious maiestie geueth a thuder clappe, & he will not stay whe his voyce is heard
5 God thundreth marueylously with his voyce, great thinges doth he which we can not comprehend
6 He commaundeth the snow, and it falleth vpon earth: he geueth the rayne a charge, and the showres haue their strength and fall downe
7 With the force of the rayne he shutteth men vp, that all men may knowe his workes
8 The beastes creepe into their dennes, and remaine in their places
9 Out of the south commeth the tempest, and colde out from the north winde
10 At the breath of God the hoare frost is geuen, and the brode waters are frosen
11 He maketh the cloudes to labour in geuing moystnesse, and againe with his light he dryueth away the cloude
12 He turneth the heauens about by his gouernement, that they may do whatsoeuer he commaundeth them vpon the whole worlde
13 Whether it be for punishment, or for his lande, or to do good to them that seeke him
14 Hearken vnto this O Iob, stand still, and consider the wonderous workes of God
15 Didst thou know when God disposed them? & caused the light of his cloudes to shine
16 Hast thou knowen the varietie of the cloudes, and the wonderous workes of him which is perfect in knowledge
17 And how thy clothes are warme, when the lande is stil through the south winde
18 Hast thou helped him to spreade out the heauens which are strong and bright as a loking glasse
19 Teache vs what we shall saye vnto him: for we are vnmeete to frame our talke because of darkenesse
20 Shall it be tolde him what I saye? Shall man speake when he shalbe destroyed
21 For men see not the light that shineth in the cloudes: but the winde passeth and cleanseth them
22 The faire weather commeth out of the north, the prayse thereof is to God who is terrible
23 It is the almightie, we can not finde him out: he is excellent in power and iudgement, and aboundaunt in iustice: he afflicteth not
24 Let men therefore feare him: for there shall no man see him that is wyse in his owne conceit
