¹⁴ “Pay attention to this, Job.
    Stop and consider the wonderful miracles of God!
¹⁵ Do you know how God controls the storm
    and causes the lightning to flash from his clouds?
¹⁶ Do you understand how he moves the clouds
    with wonderful perfection and skill?
¹⁷ When you are sweltering in your clothes
    and the south wind dies down and everything is still,
¹⁸ he makes the skies reflect the heat like a bronze mirror.
    Can you do that?

¹⁹ “So teach the rest of us what to say to God.
    We are too ignorant to make our own arguments.
²⁰ Should God be notified that I want to speak?
    Can people even speak when they are confused?^[a]
21 We cannot look at the sun,
    for it shines brightly in the sky
    when the wind clears away the clouds.
²² So also, golden splendor comes from the mountain of God.^[b]
    He is clothed in dazzling splendor.
²³ We cannot imagine the power of the Almighty;
    but even though he is just and righteous,
    he does not destroy us.
²⁴ No wonder people everywhere fear him.
    All who are wise show him reverence.^[c]”
