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.”

Job 37:19-24
Holman Christian Standard Bible
19 Teach us what we should say to Him;(A)
we cannot prepare our case because of our darkness.
20 Should He be told that I want to speak?
Can a man speak when he is confused?
21 Now men cannot even look at the sun
when it is in the skies,
after a wind has swept through and cleared them away.
22 Yet out of the north He comes, shrouded in a golden glow;
awesome(B) majesty surrounds Him.
23 The Almighty—we cannot reach Him—
He is exalted in power!
He will not oppress justice and abundant righteousness,
24 Therefore, men fear Him.
He does not look favorably on any who are wise(C) in heart.
