Job 37
Smith's Literal Translation Par ▾ 

Elihu Proclaims God’s Majesty

1Also at this my heart shall tremble, and it will leap from its place.

2Hearing, hear ye, to the noise of his voice, and the growling going out from his mouth.

3He will let it go free under all the heavens, and his light upon the wings of the earth.

4After him a voice shall rear; he will thunder with the voice of his majesty: and he will not leave them behind when his voice shall be heard.

5God will thunder with his voice of wonder, doing great things, and we shall not know.

6For he will say to the snow, Be it on earth; and to the shower of rain, and to the shower of the rains of his strength.

7He will seal in the hand of every man, for all men to know his work.

8And the beast shall go into the covert, and shall dwell in its habitation.

9From the chamber shall come forth the whirlwind, and cold from the scatterings.

10From the breath of God ice will be given, and the breadth of the waters in being straitened.

11Also by watering he will cast down the cloud: he will scatter the cloud of his light:

12Being turned by his guidance to their doing all that he commanded them upon the face of the habitable globe of the earth.

13If for the rod, if for his land, if for mercy, it shall find him.

14Give ear to this, O Job: stand and consider the wonders of God.

15Shalt thou know in God's setting upon them, and he caused the light of his cloud to shine?

16Shalt thou know upon the poisings of the cloud, the wonders of the complete of knowledges?

17That thy garments are warm in quieting the earth from the south?

18Wilt thou spread out with him to the clouds, strong as the sight of a melted mass?

19Make known to us what we shall say to him we shall not set in order from the face of darkness.

20Shall it be recounted to him that I shall speak? If a man spake, then shall he be swallowed down.

21And now they saw not the bright light that is in the clouds: and the wind passed over and it will cleanse them.

22From the north, gold shall come: upon God terrible majesty.

23The Almighty we found not: great of power and judgment, and much justice, he will not afflict.

24For this, men shall fear him: he will not see all the wise of heart.
