Job 37:19-24

Expanded Bible

¹⁹ ·Tell [^LTeach] us what we should say to him;
    we cannot get our arguments ·ready [^Lin order] because ·we do not have enough understanding [^Lof the darkness].
²⁰ Should God be told ·that I want to [or when I] speak?
    Would a person ask to be swallowed up?
²¹ No one can look at the ·sun [^Llight]
    when it is bright in the sky
    after the wind ·has blown all the clouds away [^Lpasses by and clears it].
²² ·God comes out of the north in golden light [^LGold comes from the north],
    ·in overwhelming greatness [^Lan awesome splendor is all around God].
²³ ·The Almighty [^LShaddai] ·is too high for us to reach [^L—we cannot find him].
    He ·has great [is exalted in] strength;
    he ·is always right and never punishes unfairly [^Lwill not violate justice and abundant righteousness].
²⁴ That is why people ·honor [fear] him;
    ·he does not respect those who say they are wise [or all the wise of heart fear him].”
