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.”
