-
37:3
- He directeth it under the whole heaven, and his lightning unto the ends of the earth.
-

- After it a voice roareth: he thundereth with the voice of his excellency; and he will not stay them when his voice is heard.
-
37:5
- God thundereth marvellously with his voice; great things doeth he, which we cannot comprehend.
-
37:6

37:11
- Also by watering he wearieth the thick cloud: he scattereth his bright cloud:
-
37:12
- And it is turned round about by his counsels: that they may do whatsoever he commandeth them upon the face of the world in the earth.
-
37:13
- He causeth it to come, whether for correction, or for his land, or for mercy.

-
37:16
- Dost thou know the balancings of the clouds, the wondrous works of him which is perfect in knowledge?
-
37:17
- How thy garments are warm, when he quieteth the earth by the south wind?
-
37:18
- Hast thou with him spread out the sky, which is strong, and as a molten looking glass?
-
37:19
- Teach us what we shall say unto him; for we cannot order our speech by reason of darkness.
-
37:20

-
37:22
- Fair weather cometh out of the north: with God is terrible majesty.
-
37:23
- Touching the Almighty, we cannot find him out: he is excellent in power, and in judgment, and in plenty of justice: he will not afflict.
-
37:24
- Men do therefore fear him: he respecteth not any that are wise of heart.
