Job 37:19-24
1599 Geneva Bible
19 Tell us what we shall say unto him: for we cannot dispose our matter because of [a]darkness.
20 Shall it be [b]told him when I speak? or shall man speak when he shall be [c]destroyed?
21 And now men see not the light, [d]which shineth in the clouds, but the wind passeth and cleanseth them.
22 The [e]brightness cometh out of the North: the praise thereof is to God, which is terrible.
23 It is the Almighty: we cannot find him out: he is excellent in power and judgment, and abundant in justice: he [f]afflicteth not.
24 Let men therefore fear him: for he will not regard any that are wise in their own conceit.
