Job 37:19-24
Legacy Standard Bible
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.”
Job 37:19-24
Common English Bible
19 Tell us what we should say to him;
we can’t present our case due to darkness.
20 Should someone inform him that I wish to speak,
or would anyone say he wants to be devoured?
Divine splendor
21 For now, no one can look at the sun;
it is bright in the sky;
the wind has passed and cleared away the clouds.
22 From the north comes golden light,
the awesome splendor of God.
23 As for the Almighty, we can’t find him—
he is powerful and just, abundantly righteous—
he won’t respond.
24 Therefore, people fear him;
none of the wise[a] can see him.
