3Subter omnes cælos ipse considerat,He beholds everything under the heavens,et lumen illius super terminos terræ.and his light reaches beyond the ends of the earth.

4Post eum rugiet sonitus;After this, a noise will sound;tonabit voce magnitudinis suæ:he will thunder with the voice of his greatness,et non investigabitur,and it will not be tracked down,cum audita fuerit vox ejus.yet his voice will be obeyed.

5Tonabit Deus in voce sua mirabiliter,God will thunder with his voice miraculously,qui facit magna et inscrutabilia;for he performs great and unsearchable things.

6qui præcipit nivi ut descendat in terram,He commands the snow to descend on earth,et hiemis pluviis,and the winter rains,et imbri fortitudinis suæ;and the shower of his strength.

7qui in manu omnium hominum signat,He signs the hand of all men,ut noverint singuli opera sua.so that each one may know his works.

8Ingredietur bestia latibulum,The beast will enter his hiding-place,et in antro suo morabitur.and he will remain in his cave.

9Ab interioribus egredietur tempestas,From the interior, a storm will come forth,et ab Arcturo frigus.and a cold winter from the north.

10Flante Deo,As God breathes out,concrescit gelu,frost forms,et rursum latissimæ funduntur aquæ.and the waters are poured forth very widely again.

11Frumentum desiderat nubes,Crops desire clouds,et nubes spargunt lumen suum.and the clouds scatter their light.

12Quæ lustrant per circuitum, quocumque eas voluntas gubernantis duxerit,It shines all around, wherever the will of him that governs them will lead,ad omne quod præceperit illis super faciem orbis terrarum:to anywhere he will command, over the whole face of the earth,

13sive in una tribu,whether in one tribe,sive in terra sua,or in his own region,sive in quocumque loco misericordiæ suæ eas jusserit inveniri.or in whatever place of his mercy that he will order them to be found.

14Ausculta hæc,Listen to these things,Job:Job.sta,Stand upet considera mirabilia Dei.and consider the wonders of God.

15Numquid scis quando præceperit Deus pluviis,Do you know when God ordered the rains,ut ostenderent lucem nubium ejus?so as to show the light of his clouds?

16Numquid nosti semitas nubium magnas,Do you know the great paths of the clouds,et perfectas scientias?and the perfect sciences?

17Nonne vestimenta tua calida sunt,Are not your garments hot,cum perflata fuerit terra austro?when the south wind blows across the land?

18Tu forsitan cum eo fabricatus es cælos,Perhaps you have made the heavens with him,qui solidissimi quasi ære fusi sunt.which are very solid, as if they had been cast from brass.

19Ostende nobis quid dicamus illi:Reveal to us what we should say to him, for,nos quippe involvimur tenebris.of course, we are wrapped in darkness.

20Quis narrabit ei quæ loquor?Who will explain to him the things that I am saying?etiam si locutus fuerit homo,Even while a man is still speaking,devorabitur.he will be devoured.

21At nunc non vident lucem:Although they do not see the light,subito aër cogetur in nubes,the air will be thickened suddenly into clouds,et ventus transiens fugabit eas.and the wind, passing by, will drive them away.

22Ab aquilone aurum venit,Riches arrive from the north,et ad Deum formidolosa laudatio.and fearful praise reaches out to God.

23Digne eum invenire non possumus:We are not worthy to be able to find him.magnus fortitudine,Great in strength,et judicio,great in judgment,et justitia:great in justice:et enarrari non potest.he is indescribable.

24Ideo timebunt eum viri,Therefore, men will fear him,et non audebunt contemplari omnes qui sibi videntur esse sapientes.and all those who seem to themselves to be wise, will not dare to contemplate him.
