1   At this also mine heart is ^note astonied, & is mooued out of his place.

2   Heare the ^note 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 ^note them when his voyce is heard.

5   God thundereth marueilously &wt; his voyce: he worketh great things, which we know not.

6   For he sayth to the snowe, Be thou vpon the earth: ^note likewise to the small rayne and to the great rayne of his power.

7   With the force thereof he ^note shutteth vp euery man, that all men may knowe his worke.

8   Then the beastes go into the denne, and remaine in their places.

9   The whirlewind commeth out of the South, and the colde from the ^note North winde.

Mans weaknesse.

10   At the breath of God the frost is giuen, & the breadth of the waters ^note is made narrowe.

11   He maketh also the cloudes to ^note labour, to water the earth, and scattereth the cloude of ^note his light.

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

13   Whether it be for ^note punishment, or for his lande, or of mercie, he causeth it to come.

14   Hearken vnto this, O Iob: stand and consider the wonderous workes of God.

15   Diddest thou knowe when God disposed them? & caused the ^note light of his cloud to shine?

16   Hast thou knowen the ^note varietie of the cloude, and the wonderous workes of him, that is perfite in knowledge?

17   Or howe thy clothes are ^note warme, when he maketh the earth quiet through the South winde?

18   Hast thou stretched out the heau&ebar;s, which are strong, and as a molten ^note glasse?

19   Tell vs what we shall say vnto him: for we can not dispose our matter because of ^note darknes.

20   Shall it be ^note told him when I speake? or shall man speake when he shalbe ^note destroyed?

21   And nowe men see not the light, ^note which shineth in the cloudes, but the winde passeth and clenseth them.

22   The ^note 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, & aboundant in iustice: he ^note afflicteth not.

24   Let men therefore feare him: for he will not regarde any that are wise in their owne conceit.
