19 Make us know what we shall say to Him;
We (A)cannot arrange our case because of darkness.
20 Shall it be recounted to Him that I would speak?
[a]If a man says a word, will He indeed be swallowed up?

21 “So now [b]men do not see the light which is bright in the skies;
But the wind has passed and cleared them.
22 Out of the north comes golden splendor;
Around God is fearsome majesty.
23 The Almighty—(B)we cannot find Him;
He is (C)exalted in power
And (D)He will not afflict (E)justice and abundant righteousness.
24 Therefore men (F)fear Him;
He does not (G)regard any who are wise of heart.”

19 Teach us what we shall say unto him;
For we cannot set our speech in order by reason of darkness.
20 Shall it be told him that I would speak?
[a]Or should a man wish that he were swallowed up?

21 And now men [b]see not the light which is bright in the skies;
But the wind passeth, and cleareth them.
22 Out of the north cometh [c]golden splendor:
God hath upon him terrible majesty.
23 Touching the Almighty, we cannot find him out:
He is excellent in power;
And [d]in justice and plenteous righteousness he will not afflict.
24 Men do therefore fear him:
He regardeth not any that are wise of heart.
