Job 37:14-24

14“Pay attention to this, Job! Stand still and consider the wonders God works.

15Do you know how God commands them, how he makes lightning flash in his storm cloud?

16Do you know about the balancing of the clouds, that wondrous activity of him who is perfect in knowledge?

17You, whose garments are hot when the earth is still because of the south wind,

18will you, with him, spread out the clouds, solid as a mirror of molten metal?

19Tell us what we should say to him. We cannot prepare a case because of the darkness.

20Should he be informed that I want to speak? If a man speaks, surely he would be swallowed up!

21But now, the sun cannot be looked at – it is bright in the skies – after a wind passed and swept the clouds away.

22From the north he comes in golden splendor; around God is awesome majesty.

23As for the Almighty, we cannot attain to him! He is great in power, but justice and abundant righteousness he does not oppress.

24Therefore people fear him, for he does not regard all the wise in heart.”
