Ayub (Job) — 37

Alihu Final Responds to Ayub

1 “My heart pounds as I think of this. It trembles within me.

2 Listen carefully to the thunder of the voice of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH as it rolls from His Mouth.

3 It rolls across the Shamaym, and His lightning flashes in every direction.

4 Then comes the roaring of the thunder, the tremendous voice of His Majesty. 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH does not restrain it when He Dabar (speaks).

5 For the voice of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH is wonderful in the thunder. We can not even imagine the greatness of His power.

6 “And 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH directs the snow to fall on the Arath and tells the rain to pour down.

7 Then everyone stops working so they can watch the power of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH.

8 The wild animals take cover and stay inside their dens.

9 The stormy wind comes from its chamber, and the driving winds bring the cold.

10 And the breath of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH  produces ice and it freezes the wide expanses of water.

11 He loads the clouds with moisture,    and they flash with his lightning.

12 The clouds churn about at His direction. They do whatever He commands throughout the Arath.

13 He makes these things happen either to punish people or to show his unfailing love.

14 “Pay attention to this, Ayub. Stop and consider the wonderful miracles of 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH!

15 Do you know how 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH  controls the storm and causes the lightning to flash from his clouds?

16 Do you understand how 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH moves the clouds with wonderful perfection and skill?

17 When you are sweltering in your clothes and the south wind dies down and everything is still,

18 he makes the skies reflect the heat like a bronze mirror. Can you do that?

19 “So teach the rest of us what to say to our 𐤀𐤋𐤅𐤄_ALUAH. We are too ignorant to make our own arguments.

20 Should our 𐤀𐤋𐤅𐤄_ALUAH be notified that I want to speak? Can people even speak when they are confused?

21 We cannot look at the sun, for it shines brightly in the sky, when the wind clears away the clouds.

22 So also, golden splendor comes from the mountain of our 𐤀𐤋𐤅𐤄_ALUAH. He is clothed in dazzling splendor.

23 We cannot imagine the power of the Almighty; but even though he is just and righteous, he does not destroy us.

24 No wonder people everywhere fear 𐤉𐤄𐤅𐤄_YAHUAH. All who are wise show Him reverence.”
