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]
