Hear attentively the noise of his voice, and the sound that goeth out of his mouth.
37:3

37:4
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.

37:9

37:10

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

37:14
Hearken unto this, O Job: stand still, and consider the wondrous works of God.

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
