²⁴ Remember to extol his work,^(A)
    which people have praised in song.^(B)
25 All humanity has seen it;^(C)
    mortals gaze on it from afar.
²⁶ How great is God—beyond our understanding!^(D)
    The number of his years is past finding out.^(E)

²⁷ “He draws up the drops of water,^(F)
    which distill as rain to the streams^[a];^(G)
28 the clouds pour down their moisture
    and abundant showers^(H) fall on mankind.^(I)
29 Who can understand how he spreads out the clouds,
    how he thunders^(J) from his pavilion?^(K)
30 See how he scatters his lightning^(L) about him,
    bathing the depths of the sea.^(M)
31 This is the way he governs^[b] the nations^(N)
    and provides food^(O) in abundance.^(P)
32 He fills his hands with lightning
    and commands it to strike its mark.^(Q)
33 His thunder announces the coming storm;^(R)
    even the cattle make known its approach.^[c](S)

¹⁴ “Listen^(A) to this, Job;
    stop and consider God’s wonders.^(B)
15 Do you know how God controls the clouds
    and makes his lightning^(C) flash?^(D)
16 Do you know how the clouds hang poised,^(E)
    those wonders of him who has perfect knowledge?^(F)
17 You who swelter in your clothes
    when the land lies hushed under the south wind,^(G)
18 can you join him in spreading out the skies,^(H)
    hard as a mirror of cast bronze?^(I)

¹⁹ “Tell us what we should say to him;^(J)
    we cannot draw up our case^(K) because of our darkness.^(L)
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,^(M)
    bright as it is in the skies
    after the wind has swept them clean.
²² Out of the north he comes in golden splendor;^(N)
    God comes in awesome majesty.^(O)
23 The Almighty is beyond our reach and exalted in power;^(P)
    in his justice^(Q) and great righteousness, he does not oppress.^(R)
24 Therefore, people revere him,^(S)
    for does he not have regard for all the wise^(T) in heart?^[a]”
