Job 36:22-33
English Standard Version
22 Behold, God is exalted in his power;
who is (A)a teacher like him?
23 Who has (B)prescribed for him his way,
or who can say, (C)‘You have done wrong’?
24 “Remember to (D)extol his work,
of which men have (E)sung.
25 All mankind has looked on it;
man beholds it from afar.
26 Behold, God is great, and we (F)know him not;
the number of his (G)years is unsearchable.
27 For he draws up the drops of water;
they distill his (H)mist in (I)rain,
28 which (J)the skies pour down
and drop on mankind abundantly.
29 Can anyone understand (K)the spreading of the clouds,
the thunderings of his (L)pavilion?
30 Behold, he scatters his lightning about him
and covers the roots of the sea.
31 For by these he (M)judges peoples;
he gives (N)food in abundance.
32 He covers his (O)hands with the lightning
and commands it to strike the mark.
33 Its crashing declares his presence;[a]
the cattle also declare that he rises.

King James Version
22 Behold, God exalteth by his power: who teacheth like him?
23 Who hath enjoined him his way? or who can say, Thou hast wrought iniquity?
24 Remember that thou magnify his work, which men behold.
25 Every man may see it; man may behold it afar off.
26 Behold, God is great, and we know him not, neither can the number of his years be searched out.
27 For he maketh small the drops of water: they pour down rain according to the vapour thereof:
28 Which the clouds do drop and distil upon man abundantly.
29 Also can any understand the spreadings of the clouds, or the noise of his tabernacle?
30 Behold, he spreadeth his light upon it, and covereth the bottom of the sea.
31 For by them judgeth he the people; he giveth meat in abundance.
32 With clouds he covereth the light; and commandeth it not to shine by the cloud that cometh betwixt.
33 The noise thereof sheweth concerning it, the cattle also concerning the vapour.

Amplified Bible, Classic Edition
22 Behold, God exalts and does loftily in His power; who is a ruler or a teacher like Him?
23 Who has appointed God His way? Or who can say, You have done unrighteousness?
24 Remember that [by submission] you magnify God’s work, of which men have sung.
25 All men have looked upon God’s work; man may behold it afar off.
26 Behold, God is great, and we know Him not! The number of His years is unsearchable.(A)
27 For He draws up the drops of water, which distil as rain from His vapor,
28 Which the skies pour down and drop abundantly upon [the multitudes of] mankind.
29 Not only that, but can anyone understand the spreadings of the clouds or the thunderings of His pavilion?(B)
30 Behold, He spreads His lightning against the dark clouds and covers the roots of the sea.
31 For by [His clouds] God executes judgment upon the peoples; He gives food in abundance.
32 He covers His hands with the lightning and commands it to strike the mark.
33 His thunderings speak [awesomely] concerning Him; the cattle are told of His coming storm.
