4. Again his voice roars,his majestic voice thunders;he does not restrain them when his voice is heard.
5. God thunders forth marvels with his voice;he does great things beyond our knowing.
6. He says to the snow, “Fall to the earth”;likewise to his heavy, drenching rain.
7. He shuts up all humankind indoors,so that all people may know his work.
8. The wild beasts take to coverand remain quiet in their dens.
9. Out of its chamber the tempest comes forth;from the north winds, the cold.
10. With his breath God brings the frost,and the broad waters congeal.
11. The clouds too are laden with moisture,the storm-cloud scatters its light.
12. He it is who changes their rounds, according to his plans,to do all that he commands themacross the inhabited world.
13. Whether for punishment or mercy,he makes it happen.
14. Listen to this, Job!Stand and consider the marvels of God!
