"The thunder and lightning frighten me; my heart pounds in my chest. |
2
|
Listen to God's thundering voice! Listen to the sound coming from his mouth. |
3
|
He sends his lightning to flash across the whole sky. It lights up the earth from one end to the other. |
4
|
After the flashes of lightning you can hear his roaring voice. He thunders with his wonderful voice! And while his voice thunders, the lightning flashes continue. |
5
|
God's thundering voice is amazing! He does great things that we cannot understand. |
6
|
He says to the snow, 'Fall on the earth.' And he says to the rain, 'Pour down on the earth.' |
7
|
God does this to stop everyone's work and to show the people he made what he can do. |
8
|
The animals run into their dens and stay there. |
9
|
Whirlwinds come from the south. The cold winds come from the north. |
10
|
God's breath makes ice and freezes even large bodies of water. |
11
|
He fills the clouds with water and scatters his lightning through them. |
12
|
He orders the clouds to be blown all around the earth. The clouds do whatever he commands. |
13
|
He causes the clouds to punish people with floods or to water his earth and show his love. |
14
|
"Job, stop for a minute and listen. Think about the wonderful things God does. |
15
|
Do you know how God controls the clouds? Do you know how he makes his lightning flash? |
16
|
Do you know how the clouds hang in the sky? This is just one of the amazing works of the one who knows everything. |
17
|
All you know is that you sweat, your clothes stick to you, and all is still and quiet when the heat wave comes from the south. |
18
|
Can you help God spread out the sky and make it shine like polished brass? |
19
|
"Job, tell us what we should say to God! We cannot think of what to say because of our ignorance. |
20
|
I would not tell God that I wanted to talk to him. That would be like asking to be destroyed. |
21
|
A person cannot look at the sun. It is too bright as it shines in the sky after the wind blows the clouds away. |
22
|
In the same way God's golden glory shines from the Holy Mountain. He is surrounded by the brightest light. |
23
|
We have seen that God All-Powerful really is all powerful! But he is just and never treats anyone unfairly. |
24
|
That is why people fear and respect him. He shows no respect for those who think they are wise." |
