Elihu Proclaims God’s Majesty

1At this also my heart is astonied, and moued out of his place.

2Heare then the sounde of his voyce, & the noyse that goeth out of his mouth.

3He directeth it vnder the whole heauen, and his light vnto the endes of the worlde.

4A roring voyce foloweth it: for his glorious maiestie geueth a thuder clappe, & he will not stay whe his voyce is heard.

5God thundreth marueylously with his voyce, great thinges doth he which we can not comprehend.

6He commaundeth the snow, and it falleth vpon earth: he geueth the rayne a charge, and the showres haue their strength and fall downe.

7With the force of the rayne he shutteth men vp, that all men may knowe his workes.

8The beastes creepe into their dennes, and remaine in their places.

9Out of the south commeth the tempest, and colde out from the north winde.

10At the breath of God the hoare frost is geuen, and the brode waters are frosen.

11He maketh the cloudes to labour in geuing moystnesse, and againe with his light he dryueth away the cloude.

12He turneth the heauens about by his gouernement, that they may do whatsoeuer he commaundeth them vpon the whole worlde.

13Whether it be for punishment, or for his lande, or to do good to them that seeke him.

14Hearken vnto this O Iob, stand still, and consider the wonderous workes of God.

15Didst thou know when God disposed them? & caused the light of his cloudes to shine?

16Hast thou knowen the varietie of the cloudes, and the wonderous workes of him which is perfect in knowledge?

17And how thy clothes are warme, when the lande is stil through the south winde?

18Hast thou helped him to spreade out the heauens which are strong and bright as a loking glasse?

19Teache vs what we shall saye vnto him: for we are vnmeete to frame our talke because of darkenesse.

20Shall it be tolde him what I saye? Shall man speake when he shalbe destroyed?

21For men see not the light that shineth in the cloudes: but the winde passeth and cleanseth them.

22The faire weather commeth out of the north, the prayse thereof is to God who is terrible.

23It is the almightie, we can not finde him out: he is excellent in power and iudgement, and aboundaunt in iustice: he afflicteth not.

24Let men therefore feare him: for there shall no man see him that is wyse in his owne conceit.
