Job 37:11-24 Douay-Rheims Challoner Revision 1752 (DRC1752)

11. Corn desireth clouds, and the clouds spread their light:

12. Which go round about, whithersoever the will of him that governeth them shall lead them, to whatsoever he shall command them upon the face of the whole earth:

13. Whether in one tribe, or in his own land, or in what place soever of his mercy he shall command them to be found.

14. Hearken to these things, Job: Stand, and consider the wondrous works of God.

15. Dost thou know when God commanded the rains, to shew his light of his clouds?

16. Knowest thou the great paths of the clouds, and the perfect knowledges?

17. Are not thy garments hot, when the south wind blows upon the earth?

18. Thou perhaps hast made the heavens with him, which are most strong, as if they were of molten brass.

19. Shew us what we may say to him: for we are wrapped up in darkness.

20. Who shall tell him the things I speak? even if a man shall speak, he shall be swallowed up.

21. But now they see not the light: the air on a sudden shall be thickened into clouds, and the wind shall pass and drive them away.

22. Cold cometh out of the north, and to God praise with fear.

23. We cannot find him worthily: he is great in strength, and in judgment, and in justice, and he is ineffable.

24. Therefore men shall fear him, and all that seem to themselves to be wise, shall not dare to behold him.
