  • 2. Heare the sound of his voyce, and the noyse that goeth out of his mouth.
  • 3. He directeth it vnder the whole heauen, and his light vnto the endes of the world.
  • 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.
  • 5. God thundereth marueilously with his voyce: he worketh great things, which we know not.
  • 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.

  • 12. And it is turned about by his gouernment, that they may doe whatsoeuer he commandeth them vpon the whole worlde:

  • 16. Hast thou knowen the varietie of the cloude, and the wonderous workes of him, that is perfite in knowledge?
  • 17. Or howe thy clothes are warme, when he maketh the earth quiet through the South winde?
  • 18. Hast thou stretched out the heaues, which are strong, and as a molten glasse?
  • 19. Tell vs what we shall say vnto him: for we can not dispose our matter because of darknes.
  • 20. Shall it be told him when I speake? Or shall man speake when he shalbe destroyed?
  • 21. And nowe men see not the light, which shineth in the cloudes, but the winde passeth and clenseth them.
  • 22. The brightnesse commeth out of the North: the praise thereof is to God, which is terrible.
  • 23. It is the Almightie: we can not finde him out: he is excellent in power and iudgement, &amp; aboundant in iustice: he afflicteth not.
  • 24. Let men therefore feare him: for he will not regarde any that are wise in their owne conceit.
