19 “Teach us what we should say to Him,
For we can prepare nothing because of the darkness.
20 Should He be told that I wish to speak?
If a man were to speak, surely he would be swallowed up.
21 Even now men cannot look at the light when it is bright in the skies,
When the wind has passed and cleared them.
22 He comes from the north as golden splendor;
With God is awesome majesty.
23 As for the Almighty, (A)we cannot find Him;
(B)He is excellent in power,
In judgment and abundant justice;
He does not oppress.
24 Therefore men (C)fear Him;
He shows no partiality to any who are (D)wise of heart.”

19 Teach us what we shall say unto Him, for we cannot order our speech by reason of darkness.

20 Shall it be told Him that I speak? If a man speak, surely he shall be swallowed up.

21 And now men see not the bright light which is in the clouds, but the wind passeth and cleanseth them.

22 Fair weather cometh out of the north; with God is fearsome majesty.

23 Concerning the Almighty, we cannot find Him out; He is excellent in power and in judgment, and abounding in justice; He will not afflict.

24 Men do therefore fear Him; He respecteth not any that are wise of heart.”
