Job 37:19-24
Christian Standard Bible
19 Teach us what we should say to him;(A)
we cannot prepare our case because of our darkness.
20 Should he be told that I want to speak?
Can a man speak when he is confused?
21 Now no one can even look at the sun
after a wind has swept through and cleared the sky.
22 Out of the north he comes, shrouded in a golden glow;
awesome(B) majesty surrounds him.
23 The Almighty—we cannot reach him—
he is exalted in power!
He will not violate justice and abundant righteousness,
24 therefore, men fear him.
He does not look favorably on any who are wise(C) in heart.
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]”
