Brenton Brenton's English Septuagint
WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)
1 At this also my heart is troubled, and moved out of its place.
1 “Yes, at this my heart trembles, and is moved out of its place.
2 Hear thou a report by the anger of the Lord's wrath, and a discourse shall come out of his mouth.
2 Hear, oh, hear the noise of his voice, the sound that goes out of his mouth.
3 His dominion is under the whole heaven, and his light is at the extremities of the earth.
3 He sends it out under the whole sky, and his lightning to the ends of the earth.
4 After him shall be a cry with a [loud] voice; he shall thunder with the voice of his excellency, yet he shall not cause men to pass away, for one shall hear his voice.
4 After it a voice roars. He thunders with the voice of his majesty. He doesn’t hold back anything when his voice is heard.
5 The Mighty One shall thunder wonderfully with his voice: for he has done great things which we knew not;
5 God thunders marvelously with his voice. He does great things, which we can’t comprehend.
6 commanding the snow, Be thou upon the earth, and the stormy rain, and the storm of the showers of his might.
6 For he says to the snow, ‘Fall on the earth,’ likewise to the shower of rain, and to the showers of his mighty rain.
7 He seals up the hand of every man, that every man may know his own weakness.
7 He seals up the hand of every man, that all men whom he has made may know it.
8 And the wild beasts come in under the covert, and rest in [their] lair.
8 Then the animals take cover, and remain in their dens.
9 Troubles come on out of the secret chambers, and cold from the mountain-tops.
9 Out of its room comes the storm, and cold out of the north.
10 And from the breath of the Mighty One he will send frost; and he guides the water in whatever way he pleases.
10 By the breath of God, ice is given, and the width of the waters is frozen.
11 And [if] a cloud obscures [what is] precious [to him], his light will disperse the cloud.
11 Yes, he loads the thick cloud with moisture. He spreads abroad the cloud of his lightning.
12 And he will carry round the encircling [clouds] by his governance, to [perform] their works: whatsoever he shall command them,
12 It is turned around by his guidance, that they may do whatever he commands them on the surface of the habitable world,
13 this has been appointed by him on the earth, whether for correction, [or] for his land, or if he shall find him [an object] for mercy.
13 whether it is for correction, or for his land, or for loving kindness, that he causes it to come.
14 Hearken to this, O Job: stand still, and be admonished of the power of the Lord.
14 “Listen to this, Job. Stand still, and consider the wondrous works of God.
15 We know that God has disposed his works, having made light out of darkness.
15 Do you know how God controls them, and causes the lightning of his cloud to shine?
16 And he knows the divisions of the clouds, and the signal overthrows of the ungodly.
16 Do you know the workings of the clouds, the wondrous works of him who is perfect in knowledge?
17 But thy robe is warm, and there is quiet upon the land.
17 You whose clothing is warm when the earth is still by reason of the south wind?
18 Wilt thou establish with him [foundations] for the ancient [heavens? they are] strong as a molten mirror.
18 Can you, with him, spread out the sky, which is strong as a cast metal mirror?
19 Wherefore teach me, what shall we say to him? and let us cease from saying much.
19 Teach us what we will tell him, for we can’t make our case by reason of darkness.
20 Have I a book or a scribe by me, that I may stand and put man to silence?
20 Will it be told him that I would speak? Or should a man wish that he were swallowed up?
21 But the light is not visible to all: it shines afar off in the heavens, as that which is from him in the clouds.
21 Now men don’t see the light which is bright in the skies, but the wind passes, and clears them.
22 From the north [come] the clouds shining like gold: in these great are the glory and honour of the Almighty;
22 Out of the north comes golden splendor. With God is awesome majesty.
23 and we do not find another his equal in strength: [as for] him that judges justly, dost thou not think that he listens?
23 We can’t reach the Almighty. He is exalted in power. In justice and great righteousness, he will not oppress.
24 Wherefore men shall fear him; and the wise also in heart shall fear him.
24 Therefore men revere him. He doesn’t regard any who are wise of heart.”
