2 Listen! Listen to the roar of his voice, to the rumbling that comes from his mouth.
2 Hear
2 Keep listening to the thunder of his voice and the rumbling that comes from his mouth.
2 Listen to it! Listen to his thunder, the rolling, rumbling thunder of his voice.
2 Hear attentively the thunder of His voice, And the rumbling that comes from His mouth.
2 Listen carefully to the thunder of God's voice as it rolls from his mouth.
4 After that comes the sound of his roar; he thunders with his majestic voice. When his voice resounds, he holds nothing back.
4 After it a voice roareth: he thundereth with the voice of his excellency; and he will not stay them when his voice is heard.
4 After it his voice roars; he thunders with his majestic voice, and he does not restrain the lightnings
4 In their wake, the thunder echoes his voice, powerful and majestic. He lets out all the stops, he holds nothing back. No one can mistake that voice -
4 After it a voice roars; He thunders with His majestic voice, And He does not restrain them when His voice is heard.
4 Then comes the roaring of the thunder- the tremendous voice of his majesty. He does not restrain it when he speaks.
(Read Job 37:1-13)
The changes of the weather are the subject of a great deal of our thoughts and common talk; but how seldom do we think and speak of these things, as Elihu, with a regard to God, the director of them! We must notice the glory of God, not only in the thunder and lightning, but in the more common and less awful changes of the weather; as the snow and rain. Nature directs all creatures to shelter themselves from a storm; and shall man only be unprovided with a refuge? Oh that men would listen to the voice of God, who in many ways warns them to flee from the wrath to come; and invites them to accept his salvation, and to be happy. The ill opinion which men entertain of the Divine direction, peculiarly appears in their murmurs about the weather, though the whole result of the year proves the folly of their complaints. Believers should avoid this; no days are bad as God makes them, though we make many bad by our sins.
5 God's voice thunders in marvelous ways; he does great things beyond our understanding.
5 God thundereth marvellously with his voice; great things doeth he, which we cannot comprehend.
5 God thunders wondrously with his voice; he does great things that we cannot comprehend.
5 His word thundering so wondrously, his mighty acts staggering our understanding.
5 God thunders marvelously with His voice; He does great things which we cannot comprehend.
5 God's voice is glorious in the thunder. We can't even imagine the greatness of his power.
