Elihu Says God has Authority over the Storm

1“Indeed, at His thundering my heart trembles

And leaps out of its place.

2Listen carefully to the thunder of His voice,

And the rumbling that goes out of His mouth!

3He lets it loose under the whole heaven,

And His lightning to the ends of the earth.

4After it, His voice roars;

He thunders with the voice of His majesty,

And He does not restrain His lightning [against His adversaries] when His voice is heard.

5God thunders marvelously with His voice;

He does great things which we cannot comprehend.

6For He says to the snow, ‘Fall on the earth’;

And [He speaks] to the showers and to the downpour [of His mighty rains], ‘Be strong.’

7God seals (brings to a standstill, stops) [by severe weather] the hand of every man,

That all men [whom He has made] may know His work [that is, His sovereign power and their subjection to it].

8Then the beast goes into its lair

And remains in its hiding place.

9Out of its chamber comes the storm,

And cold from the north wind.

10Ice is made by the breath of God,

And the expanse of the waters is frozen.

11He loads the thick cloud with moisture;

He disperses the cloud of His lightning.

12Its direction is turned around by His guidance,

That it may do whatever He commands it

On the face of the inhabited earth.

13Whether [it be] for correction, or for His earth [generally]

Or for [His] mercy and lovingkindness, He causes it to happen.

14“Listen to this, Job;

Stand still and consider the wonders of God.

15Do you know how God establishes and commands them,

And makes the lightning of His [storm] cloud shine?

16Do you know about the layers of thick clouds [and how they are balanced and poised in the heavens],

The wonderful works of Him who is perfect in knowledge,

17You whose garments are hot,

When He quiets the earth [in sultry summer] with the [oppressive] south wind?

18Can you, with Him, spread out the sky,

Strong as a molten mirror?

19Tell us [Job] what words [of man] shall we say to such a Being;

We cannot state our case because of darkness [that is, our ignorance in the presence of the unsearchable God].

20So shall it be told Him that I wish to speak?

Or should a man say that he would be swallowed up [and destroyed by God]?

21“Now people cannot look at the light when it is bright in the skies [without being blinded],

When the wind has passed and cleared them.

22Out of the north comes golden splendor [and people can hardly look on it];

Around God is awesome splendor and majesty [far too glorious for man’s eyes].

23The Almighty—we cannot find Him;

He is exalted in power

And He will not do violence to [nor disregard] justice and abundant righteousness.

24Men therefore fear Him;

He does not regard nor respect any who are wise in heart [in their own understanding and conceit].”
