Job 37:2
1 “At this my heart also pounds and leaps from its place.
Listen closely to the thunder of His voice and the rumbling that comes from His mouth.
3 He unleashes His lightning beneath the whole sky and sends it to the ends of the earth.
4 Then there comes a roaring sound; He thunders with His majestic voice. He does not restrain the lightning when His voice resounds.
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
