19 “Tell us what we should say to him;(A)
    we cannot draw up our case(B) because of our darkness.(C)
20 Should he be told that I want to speak?
    Would anyone ask to be swallowed up?
21 Now no one can look at the sun,(D)
    bright as it is in the skies
    after the wind has swept them clean.
22 Out of the north he comes in golden splendor;(E)
    God comes in awesome majesty.(F)
23 The Almighty is beyond our reach and exalted in power;(G)
    in his justice(H) and great righteousness, he does not oppress.(I)
24 Therefore, people revere him,(J)
    for does he not have regard for all the wise(K) in heart?[a]

  1. Job 37:24 Or for he does not have regard for any who think they are wise.

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,

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.
