Job 37:19-24
The Voice
19 Job, tell us what to say to Him.
We cannot draw up our argument before such impenetrable darkness.
20 Shall He be told that I wish to speak to Him directly?
Will it help if I admit I would be consumed if I did?
21 But now no one can see the brightness of the light through the thick clouds;
as the wind changes and blows through the sky, it clears the air.
22 From the north, the weather changes;
golden skies encircle God, now clothed in awesome majesty.
23 We cannot find the Highest One:[a]
He is exalted in power,
Great in righteousness,
and does not depreciate humanity.
24 This is why mortals fear Him;
He doesn’t see the wise of heart.[b]

Job 37:19-24
New International Version
19 “Tell us what we should say to him;(A)
we cannot draw up our case(B) because of our darkness.(C)
20 Should he be told that I want to speak?
Would anyone ask to be swallowed up?
21 Now no one can look at the sun,(D)
bright as it is in the skies
after the wind has swept them clean.
22 Out of the north he comes in golden splendor;(E)
God comes in awesome majesty.(F)
23 The Almighty is beyond our reach and exalted in power;(G)
in his justice(H) and great righteousness, he does not oppress.(I)
24 Therefore, people revere him,(J)
for does he not have regard for all the wise(K) in heart?[a]”
