Job 37:19-24
New American Standard Bible
19 Teach us what we are to say to Him;
We (A)cannot present our case because of darkness.
20 Shall it be told Him that I would speak?
[a]Or should a man say that he would be swallowed up?
21 “Now people do not see the light which is bright in the skies;
But the wind has passed and cleared them.
22 From the north comes golden splendor;
Around God is awesome majesty.
23 The Almighty—(B)we cannot find Him;
He is (C)exalted in power
And (D)He will not violate (E)justice and abundant righteousness.
24 Therefore people (F)fear Him;
He does not (G)regard any who are wise of heart.”

Revised Standard Version
19 Teach us what we shall say to him;
we cannot draw up our case because of darkness.
20 Shall it be told him that I would speak?
Did a man ever wish that he would be swallowed up?
21 “And now men cannot look on the light
when it is bright in the skies,
when the wind has passed and cleared them.
22 Out of the north comes golden splendor;
God is clothed with terrible majesty.
23 The Almighty—we cannot find him;
he is great in power and justice,
and abundant righteousness he will not violate.
24 Therefore men fear him;
he does not regard any who are wise in their own conceit.”
