Job 37

At this also my heart trembleth, and is moved out of his place.

super hoc expavit cor meum et emotum est de loco suo

Hear attentively the noise of his voice, and the sound that goeth out of his mouth.

audite auditionem in terrore vocis eius et sonum de ore illius procedentem

He directeth it under the whole heaven, and his lightning unto the ends of the earth.

subter omnes caelos ipse considerat et lumen illius super terminos terrae

After it a voice roareth: he thundereth with the voice of his excellency; and he will not stay them when his voice is heard.

post eum rugiet sonitus tonabit voce magnitudinis suae et non investigabitur cum audita fuerit vox eius

God thundereth marvellously with his voice; great things doeth he, which we cannot comprehend.

tonabit Deus in voce sua mirabiliter qui facit magna et inscrutabilia

For he saith to the snow, Be thou on the earth; likewise to the small rain, and to the great rain of his strength.

qui praecipit nivi ut descendat in terram et hiemis pluviis et imbri fortitudinis suae

He sealeth up the hand of every man; that all men may know his work.

qui in manu omnium hominum signat ut noverint singuli opera sua

Then the beasts go into dens, and remain in their places.

ingredietur bestia latibulum et in antro suo morabitur

Out of the south cometh the whirlwind: and cold out of the north.

ab interioribus egreditur tempestas et ab Arcturo frigus

By the breath of God frost is given: and the breadth of the waters is straitened.

flante Deo concrescit gelu et rursum latissimae funduntur aquae

Also by watering he wearieth the thick cloud: he scattereth his bright cloud:

frumentum desiderat nubes et nubes spargunt lumen suum

And it is turned round about by his counsels: that they may do whatsoever he commandeth them upon the face of the world in the earth.

quae lustrant per circuitum quocumque eas voluntas gubernantis duxerit ad omne quod praeceperit illis super faciem orbis terrarum

He causeth it to come, whether for correction, or for his land, or for mercy.

sive in una tribu sive in terra sua sive in quocumque loco misericordiae suae eas iusserit inveniri

Hearken unto this, O Job: stand still, and consider the wondrous works of God.

ausculta haec Iob sta et considera miracula Dei

Dost thou know when God disposed them, and caused the light of his cloud to shine?

numquid scis quando praeceperit Deus pluviis ut ostenderent lucem nubium eius

Dost thou know the balancings of the clouds, the wondrous works of him which is perfect in knowledge?

numquid nosti semitas nubium magnas et perfectas scientias

How thy garments are warm, when he quieteth the earth by the south wind?

nonne vestimenta tua calida sunt cum perflata fuerit terra austro

Hast thou with him spread out the sky, which is strong, and as a molten looking glass?

tu forsitan cum eo fabricatus es caelos qui solidissimi quasi aere fusi sunt

Teach us what we shall say unto him; for we cannot order our speech by reason of darkness.

ostende nobis quid dicamus illi nos quippe involvimur tenebris

Shall it be told him that I speak? if a man speak, surely he shall be swallowed up.

quis narrabit ei quae loquor etiam si locutus fuerit homo devorabitur

And now men see not the bright light which is in the clouds: but the wind passeth, and cleanseth them.

at nunc non vident lucem subito aer cogitur in nubes et ventus transiens fugabit eas

Fair weather cometh out of the north: with God is terrible majesty.

ab aquilone aurum venit et ad Deum formidolosa laudatio

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.

digne eum invenire non possumus magnus fortitudine et iudicio et iustitia et enarrari non potest

Men do therefore fear him: he respecteth not any that are wise of heart.

ideo timebunt eum viri et non audebunt contemplari omnes qui sibi videntur esse sapientes
