Job 37:19-24

The Voice

¹⁹    Job, tell us what to say to Him.
        We cannot draw up our argument before such impenetrable darkness.
²⁰    Shall He be told that I wish to speak to Him directly?
        Will it help if I admit I would be consumed if I did?

²¹    But now no one can see the brightness of the light through the thick clouds;
        as the wind changes and blows through the sky, it clears the air.
²²    From the north, the weather changes;
        golden skies encircle God, now clothed in awesome majesty.
²³    We cannot find the Highest One:^[a]
        He is exalted in power,
    Great in righteousness,
        and does not depreciate humanity.
²⁴    This is why mortals fear Him;
        He doesn’t see the wise of heart.^[b]
