Elihu Says God Has Authority Over the Storm

1“At this also my heart trembles,

And leaps from its place.

2Listen closely to the thunder of His voice,

And the rumbling that goes out from His mouth.

3Under the whole heaven He lets it loose,

And His Lit lightlightning travels to the ends of the earth.

4After it, a voice roars;

He thunders with His majestic voice,

And He does not restrain Lit themthe lightning when His voice is heard.

5God thunders wondrously with His voice,

Doing great things which we do not comprehend.

6For to the snow He says, ‘Fall on the earth,’

And to the Lit shower of rain and shower of rainsdownpour and the rain, ‘Be strong.’

7He seals the hand of every person,

So that all people may know His work.

8Then the animal goes into its lair

And remains in its Lit densden.

9From the Lit chambersouth comes the storm,

And from the north wind the cold.

10From the breath of God ice is made,

And the expanse of the waters is frozen.

11He also loads the clouds with moisture;

He disperses the cloud of His Lit lightlightning.

12It changes direction, turning around by His guidance,

That Lit theyit may do whatever He commands Lit themit

On the face of the inhabited earth.

13Whether for Lit the rodcorrection, or for His earth,

Or for goodness, He causes it to Lit be foundhappen.

14“Listen to this, Job;

Stand and consider the wonders of God.

15Do you know how God establishes them,

And makes the Lit lightlightning of His clouds to shine?

16Do you know about the hovering of the clouds,

The wonders of One who is perfect in knowledge,

17You whose garments are hot

When the land is still because of the south wind?

18Can you, with Him, spread out the skies,

Strong as a cast metal mirror?

19Teach us what we are to say to Him;

We cannot present our case because of darkness.

20Shall it be told Him that I would speak?

Or If a man speak, surely he shall be swallowed up Or should a man say that he would be swallowed up?

21“Now people do not see the light which is bright in the skies;

But the wind has passed and cleared them.

22From the north comes golden splendor;

Around God is awesome majesty.

23The Almighty—we cannot find Him;

He is exalted in power

And He will not violate justice and abundant righteousness.

24Therefore people fear Him;

He does not regard any who are wise of heart.”
