GNV Geneva Bible (1599)
WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)
1 At this also mine heart is astonied, and is mooued out of his place.
1 “Yes, at this my heart trembles, and is moved out of its place.
2 Heare the sound of his voyce, and the noyse that goeth out of his mouth.
2 Hear, oh, hear the noise of his voice, the sound that goes out of his mouth.
3 He directeth it vnder the whole heauen, and his light vnto the endes of the world.
3 He sends it out under the whole sky, and his lightning to the ends of the earth.
4 After it a noyse soundeth: hee thundereth with the voyce of his maiestie, and hee will not stay them when his voyce is heard.
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 God thundereth marueilously with his voyce: he worketh great things, which we know not.
5 God thunders marvelously with his voice. He does great things, which we can’t comprehend.
6 For he sayth to the snowe, Be thou vpon the earth: likewise to the small rayne and to the great rayne of his power.
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 With the force thereof he shutteth vp euery man, that all men may knowe his worke.
7 He seals up the hand of every man, that all men whom he has made may know it.
8 Then the beastes go into the denne, and remaine in their places.
8 Then the animals take cover, and remain in their dens.
9 The whirlewind commeth out of the South, and the colde from the North winde.
9 Out of its room comes the storm, and cold out of the north.
10 At the breath of God the frost is giuen, and the breadth of the waters is made narrowe.
10 By the breath of God, ice is given, and the width of the waters is frozen.
11 He maketh also the cloudes to labour, to water the earth, and scattereth the cloude of his light.
11 Yes, he loads the thick cloud with moisture. He spreads abroad the cloud of his lightning.
12 And it is turned about by his gouernment, that they may doe whatsoeuer he commandeth them vpon the whole worlde:
12 It is turned around by his guidance, that they may do whatever he commands them on the surface of the habitable world,
13 Whether it be for punishment, or for his lande, or of mercie, he causeth it to come.
13 whether it is for correction, or for his land, or for loving kindness, that he causes it to come.
14 Hearken vnto this, O Iob: stand and consider the wonderous workes of God.
14 “Listen to this, Job. Stand still, and consider the wondrous works of God.
15 Diddest thou knowe when God disposed them? and caused the light of his cloud to shine?
15 Do you know how God controls them, and causes the lightning of his cloud to shine?
16 Hast thou knowen the varietie of the cloude, and the wonderous workes of him, that is perfite in knowledge?
16 Do you know the workings of the clouds, the wondrous works of him who is perfect in knowledge?
17 Or howe thy clothes are warme, when he maketh the earth quiet through the South winde?
17 You whose clothing is warm when the earth is still by reason of the south wind?
18 Hast thou stretched out the heaues, which are strong, and as a molten glasse?
18 Can you, with him, spread out the sky, which is strong as a cast metal mirror?
19 Tell vs what we shall say vnto him: for we can not dispose our matter because of darknes.
19 Teach us what we will tell him, for we can’t make our case by reason of darkness.
20 Shall it be told him when I speake? or shall man speake when he shalbe destroyed?
20 Will it be told him that I would speak? Or should a man wish that he were swallowed up?
21 And nowe men see not the light, which shineth in the cloudes, but the winde passeth and clenseth them.
21 Now men don’t see the light which is bright in the skies, but the wind passes, and clears them.
22 The brightnesse commeth out of the North: the praise thereof is to God, which is terrible.
22 Out of the north comes golden splendor. With God is awesome majesty.
23 It is the Almightie: we can not finde him out: he is excellent in power and iudgement, and aboundant in iustice: he afflicteth not.
23 We can’t reach the Almighty. He is exalted in power. In justice and great righteousness, he will not oppress.
24 Let men therefore feare him: for he will not regarde any that are wise in their owne conceit.
24 Therefore men revere him. He doesn’t regard any who are wise of heart.”
