2. Elihu Reminds Job of the Greatness of God . . . . 36:22-37:24
Job 36:22
Behold, God exalteth by his power: who teacheth like him?Job 36:23
Who hath enjoined him his way? or who can say, Thou hast wrought iniquity?Job 36:24
Remember that thou magnify his work, which men behold.Job 36:25
Every man may see it; man may behold it afar off.Job 36:26
Behold, God is great, and we know him not, neither can the number of his years be searched out.Job 36:27
For he maketh small the drops of water: they pour down rain according to the vapour thereof:Job 36:28
Which the clouds do drop and distil upon man abundantly.Job 36:29
Also can any understand the spreadings of the clouds, or the noise of his tabernacle?Job 36:30
Behold, he spreadeth his light upon it, and covereth the bottom of the sea.Job 36:31
For by them judgeth he the people; he giveth meat in abundance.Job 36:32
With clouds he covereth the light; and commandeth it not to shine by the cloud that cometh betwixt.Job 36:33
The noise thereof sheweth concerning it, the cattle also concerning the vapour.Job 37:1
At this also my heart trembleth, and is moved out of his place.Job 37:2
Hear attentively the noise of his voice, and the sound that goeth out of his mouth.Job 37:3
He directeth it under the whole heaven, and his lightning unto the ends of the earth.Job 37:4
After it a voice roareth: he thundereth with the voice of his excellency; and he will not stay them when his voice is heard.Job 37:5
God thundereth marvellously with his voice; great things doeth he, which we cannot comprehend.Job 37:6
For he saith to the snow, Be thou on the earth; likewise to the small rain, and to the great rain of his strength.Job 37:7
He sealeth up the hand of every man; that all men may know his work.Job 37:8
Then the beasts go into dens, and remain in their places.Job 37:9
Out of the south cometh the whirlwind: and cold out of the north.Job 37:10
By the breath of God frost is given: and the breadth of the waters is straitened.Job 37:11
Also by watering he wearieth the thick cloud: he scattereth his bright cloud:Job 37:12
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.Job 37:13
He causeth it to come, whether for correction, or for his land, or for mercy.Job 37:14
Hearken unto this, O Job: stand still, and consider the wondrous works of God.Job 37:15
Dost thou know when God disposed them, and caused the light of his cloud to shine?Job 37:16
Dost thou know the balancings of the clouds, the wondrous works of him which is perfect in knowledge?Job 37:17
How thy garments are warm, when he quieteth the earth by the south wind?Job 37:18
Hast thou with him spread out the sky, which is strong, and as a molten looking glass?Job 37:19
Teach us what we shall say unto him; for we cannot order our speech by reason of darkness.Job 37:20
Shall it be told him that I speak? if a man speak, surely he shall be swallowed up.Job 37:21
And now men see not the bright light which is in the clouds: but the wind passeth, and cleanseth them.Job 37:22
Fair weather cometh out of the north: with God is terrible majesty.Job 37:23
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.Job 37:24
Men do therefore fear him: he respecteth not any that are wise of heart.
