Job 37:19-24

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition

¹⁹ Teach us what we shall say to him;
    we cannot draw up our case because of darkness.
²⁰ Should he be told that I want to speak?
    Did anyone ever wish to be swallowed up?
²¹ Now, no one can 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;
    around God is awesome majesty.
²³ The Almighty^[a]—we cannot find him;
    he is great in power and justice,
    and abundant righteousness he will not violate.^(A)
24 Therefore mortals fear him;
    he does not regard any who are wise in their own conceit.”^(B)
