Job 37:14-24

14“Listen to this, Job; Stand still and consider the wonders of God.

15Do you know how God establishes and commands them, And makes the lightning of His [storm] cloud shine?

16Do you know about the layers of thick clouds [and how they are balanced and poised in the heavens], The wonderful works of Him who is perfect in knowledge,

17You whose garments are hot, When He quiets the earth [in sultry summer] with the [oppressive] south wind?

18Can you, with Him, spread out the sky, Strong as a molten mirror?

19Tell us [Job] what words [of man] shall we say to such a Being; We cannot state our case because of darkness [that is, our ignorance in the presence of the unsearchable God].

20So shall it be told Him that I wish to speak? Or should a man say that he would be swallowed up [and destroyed by God]?

21“Now people cannot look at the light when it is bright in the skies [without being blinded], When the wind has passed and cleared them.

22Out of the north comes golden splendor [and people can hardly look on it]; Around God is awesome splendor and majesty [far too glorious for man’s eyes].

23The Almighty—we cannot find Him; He is exalted in power And He will not do violence to [nor disregard] justice and abundant righteousness.

24Men therefore fear Him; He does not regard nor respect any who are wise in heart [in their own understanding and conceit].”
