1. At this also my heart trembles, and is moved out of his place.
2. Hear attentively the noise of his voice, and the sound that goes out of his mouth.
3. He directs it under the whole heaven, and his lightning to the ends of the earth.
4. After it a voice roars: he thunders with the voice of his excellency; and he will not stay them when his voice is heard.
5. God thunders marvelously with his voice; great things does he, which we cannot comprehend.
6. For he said to the snow, Be you on the earth; likewise to the small rain, and to the great rain of his strength.

10. By the breath of God frost is given: and the breadth of the waters is straitened.
11. Also by watering he wearies the thick cloud: he scatters his bright cloud:
12. And it is turned round about by his counsels: that they may do whatever he commands them on the face of the world in the earth.

20. Shall it be told him that I speak? if a man speak, surely he shall be swallowed up.
21. And now men see not the bright light which is in the clouds: but the wind passes, and cleans them.
22. Fair weather comes out of the north: with God is terrible majesty.
23. Touching the Almighty, we cannot find him out: he is excellent in power, and in judgment, and in plenty of justice: he will not afflict.
24. Men do therefore fear him: he respects not any that are wise of heart.
