JOB 37
1“At this my heart also pounds and leaps from its place. 2Listen closely to the thunder of His voice and the rumbling that comes from His mouth. 3He unleashes His lightning beneath the whole sky and sends it to the ends of the earth. 4Then there comes a roaring sound; He thunders with His majestic voice. He does not restrain the lightning when His voice resounds. 5God thunders wondrously with His voice; He does great things we cannot comprehend. 6For He says to the snow, ‘Fall on the earth,’ and to the gentle rain, ‘Pour out a mighty downpour.’ 7He seals up the hand of every man, so that all men may know His work. 8The wild animals enter their lairs; they settle down in their dens. 9The tempest comes from its chamber, and the cold from the driving north winds. 10By the breath of God the ice is formed and the watery expanses are frozen. 11He loads the clouds with moisture; He scatters His lightning through them. 12They swirl about, whirling at His direction, accomplishing all that He commands over the face of all the earth. 13Whether for punishment or for His land, He accomplishes this in His loving devotion. 14Listen to this, O Job; stand still and consider the wonders of God. 15Do you know how God dispatches the clouds or makes the lightning flash? 16Do you understand how the clouds float, those wonders of Him who is perfect in knowledge? 17You whose clothes get hot when the land lies hushed under the south wind, 18can you, like Him, spread out the skies, as strong as a mirror of bronze? 19Teach us what we should say to Him; we cannot draw up our case because of our darkness. 20Should He be told that I want to speak? Would a man ask to be swallowed up ? 21Now no one can gaze at the sun when it is bright in the skies after the wind has swept them clean. 22Out of the north He comes in golden splendor; awesome majesty surrounds Him. 23The Almighty is beyond our reach; He is exalted in power! In His justice and great righteousness He does not oppress. 24Therefore, men fear Him, for He is not partial to the wise in heart.”
Secondary reading — PSA 119:105-120
105Your word is a lamp to my feet and a light to my path. 106I have sworn and confirmed that I will keep Your righteous judgments. 107I am severely afflicted, O LORD; revive me through Your word. 108Accept the freewill offerings of my mouth, O LORD, and teach me Your judgments. 109I constantly take my life in my hands, yet I do not forget Your law. 110The wicked have set a snare for me, but I have not strayed from Your precepts. 111Your testimonies are my heritage forever, for they are the joy of my heart. 112I have inclined my heart to perform Your statutes, even to the very end. 113The double-minded I despise, but Your law I love. 114You are my hiding place and my shield; I put my hope in Your word. 115Depart from me, you evildoers, that I may obey the commandments of my God. 116Sustain me as You promised, that I may live; let me not be ashamed of my hope. 117Uphold me, and I will be saved, that I may always regard Your statutes. 118You reject all who stray from Your statutes, for their deceitfulness is in vain. 119All the wicked on earth You discard like dross; therefore I love Your testimonies. 120My flesh trembles in awe of You; I stand in fear of Your judgments.
