and who can withstand its burning heat?
4 #
Rev 1.16
A man tending#43.4 Other ancient authorities read blowing upon a furnace works in burning heat,

a beacon to the hosts on high

The Marvels of Nature
13 #
Job 28.26; 37.6; 38.25; Ps 147.16 By his command he sends the driving snow
and speeds the lightnings of his judgment.
14 #
Deut 28.12; Job 38.22; Jer 10.13; 51.16 Therefore the storehouses are opened,
and the clouds fly out like birds.
15In his majesty he gives the clouds their strength,
and the hailstones are broken in pieces.
17aThe voice of his thunder causes the earth to tremble;
16 #
Job 37.17; Ps 104.32 when he appears, the mountains shake.
At his will the south wind blows,
17b #
Ex 10.5; Job 37.9 so do the storm from the north and the whirlwind.
He scatters the snow like birds flying down,
and its descent is like locusts alighting.
18The eye is dazzled by the beauty of its whiteness,
and the mind is amazed as it falls.
19 #
Ps 147.16
He pours frost over the earth like salt,
and icicles form like pointed thorns.
20The cold north wind blows,
and ice freezes on the water;
it settles on every pool of water,
and the water puts it on like a breastplate.
21He consumes the mountains and burns up the wilderness
and withers the tender grass like fire.
22 #
Prov 19.12; Isa 18.4 A mist quickly heals all things;
the falling dew gives refreshment from the heat.
23 #
Ps 65.7; Mt 8.26 By his plan he stilled the deep
and planted islands in it.
24 #
Ps 107.23–27
Those who sail the sea tell of its dangers,
and we marvel at what we hear.
25 #
Gen 1.21; Ps 104.25, 26 In it are strange and marvelous creatures,
all kinds of living things, and mighty#43.25 Heb: Gk a creation of sea monsters.
26 #
Col 1.17
Because of him each of his messengers succeeds,
and by his word all things hold together.
27 #
Sir 42.17
We could say more but could never say enough;
let the final word be: “He is the all.”
28 #
Wis 13.3, 4 Where can we find the strength to praise him?
For he is greater than all his works.
29 #
Ps 48.1; 96.4; 147.5 Awesome is the Lord and very great,
and marvelous is his power.
30Glorify the Lord and exalt him as much as you can,
for he surpasses even that.
When you exalt him, summon all your strength,
and do not grow weary, for you cannot praise him enough.
31 #
Ps 106.2; Jn 1.18; 5.37; 6.46 Who has seen him and can describe him?
Or who can extol him as he is?
32 #
Sir 16.21
Many things greater than these lie hidden,
for I#43.32 Heb: Gk we have seen but few of his works.
33For the Lord has made all things,
and to the godly he has given wisdom.
