37Job · Contemporary English Version (2006)

¹I am frightened and tremble all over,

²when I hear the roaring voice of God in the thunder,

³and when I see his lightning flash across the sky.

⁴God's majestic voice thunders his commands,

⁵creating miracles too marvelous for us to understand.

⁶Snow and heavy rainstorms

⁷make us stop and think about God's power,

⁸and they force animals to seek shelter.

⁹The windstorms of winter strike,

¹⁰and the breath of God freezes streams and rivers.

¹¹Rain clouds filled with lightning appear at God's command,

¹²traveling across the sky

¹³to release their cargo— sometimes as punishment for sin, sometimes as kindness.

¹⁴Job, consider carefully the many wonders of God.

¹⁵Can you explain why lightning flashes at the orders

¹⁶of God who knows all things? Or how he hangs the clouds in empty space?

¹⁷You almost melt in the heat of fierce desert winds when the sky is like brass.

¹⁸God can hammer out the clouds in spite of the oppressive heat, but can you?

¹⁹Tell us what to say to God! Our minds are in the dark, and we don't know how to argue our case.

²⁰Should I risk my life by telling God that I want to speak?

²¹No one can stare at the sun after a breeze has blown the clouds from the sky.

²²Yet the glorious splendor of God All-Powerful is brighter by far.

²³God cannot be seen— but his power is great, and he is always fair.

²⁴And so we humans fear God, because he shows no respect for those who are proud and think they know so much.
