Job 37:14-18

New Living Translation

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