21 Take heed, (A)do not turn to iniquity,
For (B)you have chosen this rather than affliction.

22 “Behold, God is exalted by His power;
Who teaches like Him?
23 (C)Who has assigned Him His way,
Or who has said, ‘You have done (D)wrong’?

Elihu Proclaims God’s Majesty

24 “Remember to (E)magnify His work,
Of which men have sung.
25 Everyone has seen it;
Man looks on it from afar.

26 “Behold, God is great, and we (F)do not know Him;
(G)Nor can the number of His years be discovered.
27 For He (H)draws up drops of water,
Which distill as rain from the mist,
28 (I)Which the clouds drop down
And pour abundantly on man.
29 Indeed, can anyone understand the spreading of clouds,
The thunder from His canopy?
30 Look, He (J)scatters His light upon it,
And covers the depths of the sea.
31 For (K)by these He judges the peoples;
He (L)gives food in abundance.
32 (M)He covers His hands with lightning,
And commands it to [a]strike.
33 (N)His thunder declares it,
The cattle also, concerning [b]the rising storm.
