Job 37:6-18 The Scriptures 1998 (ISR98)

6. For He says to the snow, ‘Be on the earth,’ also to the gentle rain and the heavy rain of His strength.

7. He seals up the hand of every man, for all men to know His work.

8. Then the beast goes into its lair, and they stay in their dens.

9. From the room of the south comes the whirlwind, and cold from the scattering winds of the north.

10. By the breath of Ěl ice is given, and the expanse of water becomes solid.

11. He also loads the thick clouds with moisture; He scatters His bright clouds.

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?
