Do not long for the night, when people vanish from their homes.

Context

20“Do not long for the night,
When people vanish in their place.

21“Be careful, do not turn to evil,
For you have preferred this to affliction.

22“Behold, God is exalted in His power;
Who is a teacher like Him?

23“Who has appointed Him His way,
And who has said, ‘You have done wrong’?

24“Remember that you should exalt His work,
Of which men have sung.

25“All men have seen it;
Man beholds from afar.

26“Behold, God is exalted, and we do not know Him;
The number of His years is unsearchable.

27“For He draws up the drops of water,
They distill rain from the mist,

28Which the clouds pour down,
They drip upon man abundantly.

29“Can anyone understand the spreading of the clouds,
The thundering of His pavilion?

30“Behold, He spreads His lightning about Him,
And He covers the depths of the sea.

31“For by these He judges peoples;
He gives food in abundance.

32“He covers His hands with the lightning,
And commands it to strike the mark.

33“Its noise declares His presence;
The cattle also, concerning what is coming up.
