\q1
|
|
\v 1 "My heart pounds when I think about that.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 2 Listen, all of you, to the thunder,
|
|
\q2 which is like God's voice.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 3 He sends thunder all across the sky,
|
|
\q2 and he sends lighting to the most distant places on the earth.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 4 After the lightning flashes, we hear the thunder,
|
|
\q2 which is like God's powerful voice;
|
|
\q2 when he speaks, he does not keep back the lightning.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 5 When God speaks, it causes us to fear him and admire him, as thunder does;
|
|
\q2 he does amazing things that we cannot understand.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 6 He commands the snow to fall on the ground,
|
|
\q2 and often he makes it rain very hard.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 7 When God does that, it prevents people from working,
|
|
\q2 in order that all people may know that he is the one who does these things.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 8 When it rains, the animals go into their hiding places,
|
|
\q2 and they stay there until the rain stops.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 9 The storms come from the place in the south where they start,
|
|
\q2 and the cold winds come from the north.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 10 In the winter water freezes when he commands it,
|
|
\q2 and the lakes become ice.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 11 God fills the clouds with moisture,
|
|
\q2 and lightning flashes everywhere from the clouds.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 12 He guides the clouds and causes them to move back and forth
|
|
\q2 in order that they may accomplish all that he commands them to do all over the world.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 13 Sometimes God sends rain to punish us, sometimes to water the land that he has made,
|
|
\q2 and sometimes because he wants to be very kind to us.
|
|
\b
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 14 Job, listen to this;
|
|
\q2 stop and think about the wonderful things that God does.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 15 Do you know how God commands the lightning to flash down from his clouds?
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 16 Only God knows everything perfectly;
|
|
\q2 so do you know how he causes the clouds to move in the sky?
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 17 No, you just sweat there in your clothes;
|
|
\q2 it is very oppressive when the hot wind stops blowing from the south and all the leaves on the trees become still.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 18 Can you stretch out the skies like God does and make them as hard as a metal mirror?
|
|
\b
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 19 Job, you know so much! So tell us what we should say to God;
|
|
\q2 we do not know anything about how we should defend ourselves.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 20 Should I ask someone to tell God that I want to speak to him?
|
|
\q2 No, because if I did that, he might destroy me.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 21 You know that people cannot look directly at the sun
|
|
\q2 when it shines brightly in the sky after the wind has blown the clouds away;
|
|
\q2 likewise we certainly cannot look at the brightness of God.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 22 God comes out of the north with a light that shines like gold;
|
|
\q2 his glory causes us to be afraid.
|
|
|
|
\s5
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 23 Almighty God has very great power,
|
|
\q2 and we do not know how to go near to him.
|
|
\q1 He always acts righteously,
|
|
\q2 and he will never mistreat us.
|
|
\q1
|
|
\v 24 That is the reason that we have an awesome respect for him;
|
|
\q2 he does not pay attention to those who proudly, but wrongly, think that they are wise."
