4 After it a noise shall roar, he shall thunder with the voice of his majesty, and shall not be found out, when his voice shall be heard.	4 After this, a noise will sound; he will thunder with the voice of his greatness, and it will not be tracked down, yet his voice will be obeyed.
5 God shall thunder wonderfully with his voice, he that doth great and unsearchable things.	5 God will thunder with his voice miraculously, for he performs great and unsearchable things.
6 He commandeth the snow to go down upon the earth, and the winter rain, and the shower of his strength.	6 He commands the snow to descend on earth, and the winter rains, and the shower of his strength.

9 Out of the inner parts shall a tempest come, and cold out of the north.	9 From the interior, a storm will come forth, and a cold winter from the north.
10 When God bloweth there cometh frost, and again the waters are poured out abundantly.	10 As God breathes out, frost forms, and the waters are poured forth very widely again.
11 Corn desireth clouds, and the clouds spread their light :	11 Crops desire clouds, and the clouds scatter 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 :	12 It shines all around, wherever the will of him that governs them will lead, to anywhere he will command, over the whole face of the 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.	13 whether in one tribe, or in his own region, or in whatever place of his mercy that he will order them to be found.

15 Dost thou know when God commanded the rains, to shew his light of his clouds?	15 Do you know when God ordered the rains, so as to show the light of his clouds?
16 Knowest thou the great paths of the clouds, and the perfect knowledges?	16 Do you know the great paths of the clouds, and the perfect sciences?
17 Are not thy garments hot, when the south wind blows upon the earth?	17 Are not your garments hot, when the south wind blows across the land?
18 Thou perhaps hast made the heavens with him, which are most strong, as if they were of molten brass.	18 Perhaps you have made the heavens with him, which are very solid, as if they had been cast from brass.
19 Shew us what we may say to him : for we are wrapped up in darkness.	19 Reveal to us what we should say to him, for, of course, we are wrapped in darkness.
20 Who shall tell him the things I speak? even if a man shall speak, he shall be swallowed up.	20 Who will explain to him the things that I am saying? Even while a man is still speaking, he will be devoured.
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.	21 Although they do not see the light, the air will be thickened suddenly into clouds, and the wind, passing by, will drive them away.
22 Cold cometh out of the north, and to God praise with fear.	22 Riches arrive from the north, and fearful praise reaches out to God.
23 We cannot find him worthily : he is great in strength, and in judgment, and in justice, and he is ineffable.	23 We are not worthy to be able to find him. Great in strength, great in judgment, great in justice: he is indescribable.
24 Therefore men shall fear him, and all that seem to themselves to be wise, shall not dare to behold him.	24 Therefore, men will fear him, and all those who seem to themselves to be wise, will not dare to contemplate him.
