New Testament

Job 37:1-11 New International Reader's Version (NIRV)

1. "When I hear the thunder, my heart pounds. It beats faster inside me.

2. Listen! Listen to the roar of his voice! Listen to the thunder that comes from him!

3. He sends his lightning across the sky. It reaches from one end of the earth to the other.

4. Next comes the sound of his roaring thunder. He thunders with his majestic voice. When his voice fills the air, he doesn't hold anything back.

5. God's voice thunders in wonderful ways. We'll never understand the great things he does.

6. He says to the snow, 'Fall on the earth.' He tells the rain, 'Pour down your mighty waters.'

7. He stops everyone from working. He wants them to see his work.

8. The animals go inside. They remain in their dens.

9. The storm comes out of its storeroom in the heavens. The cold comes from the driving winds.

10. The breath of God produces ice. The shallow water freezes over.

11. He loads the clouds with moisture. He scatters his lightning through them.
