Job 37:14-24
English Standard Version
Job 37:14-24
English Standard Version
14 “Hear this, O Job;
stop and (A)consider the wondrous works of God.
15 Do you know how God lays his command upon them
and causes the lightning of his cloud to shine?
16 Do you know the balancings[a] of the clouds,
the wondrous works of him who is (B)perfect in knowledge,
17 you whose garments are hot
when the earth is still because of the south wind?
18 Can you, like him, (C)spread out the skies,
hard as a cast metal (D)mirror?
19 Teach us what we shall say to him;
we cannot draw up our case because of (E)darkness.
20 Shall it be told him that I would speak?
Did a man ever wish that he would be swallowed up?
21 “And now no one looks on the light
when it is bright in the skies,
when the wind has passed and cleared them.
22 Out of the north comes golden splendor;
God is clothed with (F)awesome majesty.
23 The Almighty—we (G)cannot find him;
he is (H)great in power;
(I)justice and abundant righteousness he will not (J)violate.
24 Therefore men (K)fear him;
he does not regard any who are (L)wise in their own conceit.”[b]
Job 37:14-24
New International Version
Job 37:14-24
New International Version
14 “Listen(A) to this, Job;
stop and consider God’s wonders.(B)
15 Do you know how God controls the clouds
and makes his lightning(C) flash?(D)
16 Do you know how the clouds hang poised,(E)
those wonders of him who has perfect knowledge?(F)
17 You who swelter in your clothes
when the land lies hushed under the south wind,(G)
18 can you join him in spreading out the skies,(H)
hard as a mirror of cast bronze?(I)
19 “Tell us what we should say to him;(J)
we cannot draw up our case(K) because of our darkness.(L)
20 Should he be told that I want to speak?
Would anyone ask to be swallowed up?
21 Now no one can look at the sun,(M)
bright as it is in the skies
after the wind has swept them clean.
22 Out of the north he comes in golden splendor;(N)
God comes in awesome majesty.(O)
23 The Almighty is beyond our reach and exalted in power;(P)
in his justice(Q) and great righteousness, he does not oppress.(R)
24 Therefore, people revere him,(S)
for does he not have regard for all the wise(T) in heart?[a]”
