Job 37:4

CreationGod's power and sovereignty

2 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.

Then there comes a roaring sound; He thunders with His majestic voice. He does not restrain the lightning when His voice resounds.

5 God thunders wondrously with His voice; He does great things we cannot comprehend.

6 For He says to the snow, ‘Fall on the earth,’ and to the gentle rain, ‘Pour out a mighty downpour.’
