Chapter 43 _{14 Through this the treasures are opened: and clouds fly forth as fowls.15 By his great power he maketh the clouds firm, and the hailstones are broken small.16 At his sight the mountains are shaken, and at his will the south wind bloweth.17 The noise of the thunder maketh the earth to tremble: so doth the northern storm and the whirlwind: as birds flying he scattereth the snow, and the falling down thereof is as the lighting of grasshoppers:18 The eye marvelleth at the beauty of the whiteness thereof, and the heart is astonished at the raining of it.19 The hoarfrost also as salt he poureth on the earth, and being congealed, it lieth on the top of sharp stakes.20 When the cold north wind bloweth, and the water is congealed into ice, it abideth upon every gathering together of water, and clotheth the water as with a breastplate.21 It devoureth the mountains, and burneth the wilderness, and consumeth the grass as fire.22 A present remedy of all is a mist coming speedily, a dew coming after heat refresheth.23 By his counsel he appeaseth the deep, and planteth islands therein.24 They that sail on the sea tell of the danger thereof; and when we hear it with our ears, we marvel thereat.25 For therein be strange and wondrous works, variety of all kinds of beasts and whales created.26 By him the end of them hath prosperous success, and by his word all things consist.27 We may speak much, and yet come short: wherefore in sum, he is all.28 How shall we be able to magnify him? for he is great above all his works.29 The Lord is terrible and very great, and marvellous is his power.30 When ye glorify the Lord, exalt him as much as ye can; for even yet will he far exceed: and when ye exalt him, put forth all your strength, and be not weary; for ye can never go far enough.31 Who hath seen him, that he might tell us? and who can magnify him as he is?32 There are yet hid greater things than these be, for we have seen but a few of his works.33 For the Lord hath made all things; and to the godly hath he given wisdom.}

Chapter 44 _{1 Let us now praise famous men, and our fathers that begat us.2 The Lord hath wrought great glory by them through his great power from the beginning.3 Such as did bear rule in their kingdoms, men renowned for their power, giving counsel by their understanding, and declaring prophecies:4 Leaders of the people by their counsels, and by their knowledge of learning meet for the people, wise and eloquent are their instructions:5 Such as found out musical tunes, and recited verses in writing:6 Rich men furnished with ability, living peaceably in their habitations:7 All these were honoured in their generations, and were the glory of their times.8 There be of them, that have left a name behind them, that their praises might be reported.9 And some there be, which have no memorial; who are perished, as though they had never been; and are become as though they had never been born; and their children after them.10 But these were merciful men, whose righteousness hath not been forgotten.11 With their seed shall continually remain a good inheritance, and their children are within the covenant.12 Their seed standeth fast, and their children for their sakes.13 Their seed shall remain for ever, and their glory shall not be blotted out.14 Their bodies are buried in peace; but their name liveth for evermore.15 The people will tell of their wisdom, and the congregation will shew forth their praise.}
