The Scriptures 1998

Job 37:12-24 The Scriptures 1998 (ISR98)

12. And they swirl about, being turned by His guidance, to do whatever He commands them on the face of the earthly world.

13. He causes it to come, whether as a rod, or for His land, or for kindness.

14. Listen to this, O Iyoḇ, stand still and consider the wonders of Ěl.

15. Do you know when Eloah placed them, and caused the lightning of His cloud to shine?

16. Do you know the balancing of the clouds, the wonders of the One perfect in knowledge?

17. Why are your garments hot, when the earth is stilled from the south?

18. Did you, with Him, spread out the clouds, strong as a hard mirror?

19. Teach us what we should say to Him; we do not set in order because of darkness.

20. Should He be told that I would speak? Would any man ask to be swallowed up?

21. And now, they shall not look on the light that is bright behind the clouds, when the wind has passed and cleared them.

22. From the golden north it comes – with Eloah is awesome excellency.

23. The Almighty, we have not found Him out, He is exalted in power and right-ruling and great in righteousness – He does not oppress.

24. Therefore men fear Him. He does not regard any who are wise of heart.”
