37

1 אַף־לְ֭זֹאת יֶחֱרַ֣ד לִבִּ֑י וְ֝יִתַּ֗ר מִמְּקוֹמֽוֹ׃ At this also my heart trembleth, And is moved out of its place.

2 שִׁמְע֤וּ שָׁמ֣וֹעַ בְּרֹ֣גֶז קֹל֑וֹ וְ֝הֶ֗גֶה מִפִּ֥יו יֵצֵֽא׃ Hear attentively the noise of His voice, And the sound that goeth out of His mouth.

3 תַּֽחַת־כׇּל־הַשָּׁמַ֥יִם יִשְׁרֵ֑הוּ וְ֝אוֹר֗וֹ עַל־כַּנְפ֥וֹת הָאָֽרֶץ׃ He sendeth it forth under the whole heaven, And His lightning unto the ends of the earth.

4 אַחֲרָ֤יו ׀ יִשְׁאַג־ק֗וֹל יַ֭רְעֵם בְּק֣וֹל גְּאוֹנ֑וֹ וְלֹ֥א יְ֝עַקְּבֵ֗ם כִּֽי־יִשָּׁמַ֥ע קוֹלֽוֹ׃ After it a voice roareth; He thundereth with the voice of His majesty; And He stayeth them not when His voice is heard.

5 יַרְעֵ֤ם אֵ֣ל בְּ֭קוֹלוֹ נִפְלָא֑וֹת עֹשֶׂ֥ה גְ֝דֹל֗וֹת וְלֹ֣א נֵדָֽע׃ God thundereth marvellously with His voice; Great things doeth He, which we cannot comprehend.

6 כִּ֤י לַשֶּׁ֨לֶג ׀ יֹאמַ֗ר הֱוֵ֫א־אָ֥רֶץ וְגֶ֥שֶׁם מָטָ֑ר וְ֝גֶ֗שֶׁם מִטְר֥וֹת עֻזּֽוֹ׃ For He saith to the snow: ‘Fall thou on the earth’; Likewise to the shower of rain, and to the showers of His mighty rain.

7 בְּיַד־כׇּל־אָדָ֥ם יַחְתּ֑וֹם לָ֝דַ֗עַת כׇּל־אַנְשֵׁ֥י מַעֲשֵֽׂהוּ׃ He sealeth up the hand of every man, That all men whom He hath made may know it.

8 וַתָּב֣וֹא חַיָּ֣ה בְמוֹ־אָ֑רֶב וּבִמְע֖וֹנֹתֶ֣יהָ תִשְׁכֹּֽן׃ Then the beasts go into coverts, And remain in their dens.

9 מִן־הַ֭חֶדֶר תָּב֣וֹא סוּפָ֑ה וּֽמִמְּזָרִ֥ים קָרָֽה׃ Out of the Chamber cometh the storm; And cold out of the north.

10 מִנִּשְׁמַת־אֵ֥ל יִתֶּן־קָ֑רַח וְרֹ֖חַב מַ֣יִם בְּמוּצָֽק׃ By the breath of God ice is given, And the breadth of the waters is straitened.

11 אַף־בְּ֭רִי יַטְרִ֣יחַ עָ֑ב יָ֝פִ֗יץ עֲנַ֣ן אוֹרֽוֹ׃ Yea, He ladeth the thick cloud with moister, He spreadeth abroad the cloud of His lightning;

12 וְה֤וּא מְסִבּ֨וֹת ׀ מִתְהַפֵּ֣ךְ בְּתַחְבּוּלֹתָ֣ו לְפׇעֳלָ֑ם כֹּ֖ל אֲשֶׁ֥ר יְצַוֵּ֓ם ׀ עַל־פְּנֵ֖י תֵבֵ֣ל אָֽרְצָה׃ And they are turned round about by His guidance, That they may do whatsoever He commandeth them Upon the face of the habitable world:

13 אִם־לְשֵׁ֥בֶט אִם־לְאַרְצ֑וֹ אִם־לְ֝חֶ֗סֶד יַמְצִאֵֽהוּ׃ Whether it be for correction, or for His earth, Or for mercy, that He cause it to come.

14 הַאֲזִ֣ינָה זֹּ֣את אִיּ֑וֹב עֲ֝מֹ֗ד וְהִתְבּוֹנֵ֤ן ׀ נִפְלְא֬וֹת אֵֽל׃ Hearken unto this, O Job; Stand still, and consider the wondrous works of God.

15 הֲ֭תֵדַע בְּשׂוּם־אֱל֣וֹהַּ עֲלֵיהֶ֑ם וְ֝הֹפִ֗יעַ א֣וֹר עֲנָנֽוֹ׃ Dost thou know how God enjoineth them, And causeth the lightning of His cloud to shine?

16 הֲ֭תֵדַע עַל־מִפְלְשֵׂי־עָ֑ב מִ֝פְלְא֗וֹת תְּמִ֣ים דֵּעִֽים׃ Dost thou know the balancings of the clouds, The wondrous works of Him who is perfect in knowledge?

17 אֲשֶׁר־בְּגָדֶ֥יךָ חַמִּ֑ים בְּהַשְׁקִ֥ט אֶ֝֗רֶץ מִדָּרֽוֹם׃ Thou whose garments are warm, When the earth is still by reason of the south wind;

18 תַּרְקִ֣יעַ עִ֭מּוֹ לִשְׁחָקִ֑ים חֲ֝זָקִ֗ים כִּרְאִ֥י מוּצָֽק׃ Canst thou with Him spread out the sky, Which is strong as a molten mirror?

19 ה֭וֹדִיעֵנוּ מַה־נֹּ֣אמַר ל֑וֹ לֹֽא־נַ֝עֲרֹ֗ךְ מִפְּנֵי־חֹֽשֶׁךְ׃ Teach us what we shall say unto Him; For we cannot order our speech by reason of darkness.

20 הַֽיְסֻפַּר־ל֭וֹ כִּ֣י אֲדַבֵּ֑ר אִֽם־אָ֥מַר אִ֝֗ישׁ כִּ֣י יְבֻלָּֽע׃ Shall it be told Him that I would speak? Or should a man wish that he were swallowed up?

21 וְעַתָּ֤ה ׀ לֹ֘א־רָ֤אוּ א֗וֹר בָּהִ֣יר ה֭וּא בַּשְּׁחָקִ֑ים וְר֥וּחַ עָ֝בְרָ֗ה וַֽתְּטַהֲרֵֽם׃ And now men see not the light which is bright in the skies; But the wind passeth, and cleanseth them.

22 מִ֭צָּפוֹן זָהָ֣ב יֶאֱתֶ֑ה עַל־אֱ֝ל֗וֹהַּ נ֣וֹרָא הֽוֹד׃ Out of the north cometh golden splendour, About God is terrible majesty.

23 שַׁדַּ֣י לֹא־מְ֭צָאנֻהוּ שַׂגִּיא־כֹ֑חַ וּמִשְׁפָּ֥ט וְרֹב־צְ֝דָקָ֗ה לֹ֣א יְעַנֶּֽה׃ The Almighty, whom we cannot find out, is excellent in power, Yet to judgment and plenteous justice He doeth no violence.

24 לָ֭כֵן יְרֵא֣וּהוּ אֲנָשִׁ֑ים לֹֽא־יִ֝רְאֶ֗ה כׇּל־חַכְמֵי־לֵֽב׃ {פ}
Men do therefore fear Him; He regardeth not any that are wise of heart.

After it [(the lightning)] its [(the thunder's)] voice roars forth. He thunders in the voice of His majesty. And He will not cut them off [(the thunder and lightning which bring the rain)] if he hears his [(the intercessor's)] voice [before Him (viz. 36:32)].

Commentary on Job 37:4

Rashi

English

In its wake [i.e., in the wake] of that light, the thunder roars, and it thunders with the voice of its pride. Those are the lightnings and the thunders, which bring the rain.

and He will not cut them off The Omnipresent [will not cut off the thunder and the lightning].

for...will be heard before Him the voice of the one who prays.

He will...cut them off Heb. יעקבם, He will cut them off, [and in the language of the Mishnah we learned (Sotah 16a): in three instances, the halachah supplants (עוקבת) the text].
