Job 37:16-24 ▼

16 Do you understand how the clouds float, those wonderful works of him who has perfect knowledge?

17 You whose clothes get hot when the south wind brings calm to the land,

18 can you help God spread out the skies as hard as a cast metal mirror?

19 Teach us what we should say to him; we cannot prepare our case because of our darkness.

20 Should he be told that I want to speak? Can a man speak when he is confused?

21 Now no one can even look at the sun after a wind has swept through and cleared the sky.

22 Out of the north he comes, shrouded in a golden glow; awesome majesty surrounds him.

23 The Almighty—we cannot reach him — he is exalted in power! He will not violate justice and abundant righteousness,

24 therefore, men fear him. He does not look favorably on any who are wise in heart.
