Olam 2

Also by watering he wearieth the thick cloud: he scattereth his bright cloud:

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.

He causeth it to come, whether for correction, or for his land, or for mercy.

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

Dost thou know when God disposed them, and caused the light of his cloud to shine?

Dost thou know the balancings of the clouds, the wondrous works of him which is perfect in knowledge?

How thy garments <i>are</i> warm, when he quieteth the earth by the south <i>wind</i>?

Hast thou with him spread out the sky, <i>which is</i> strong, <i>and</i> as a molten looking glass?

Teach us what we shall say unto him; <i>for</i> we cannot order <i>our speech</i> by reason of darkness.

Shall it be told him that I speak? if a man speak, surely he shall be swallowed up.
