19. Lay down your greatness without distress, and put aside all of your power with courage.
20. Do not prolong the night, even if people rise on their behalf.
21. Be careful that you do not turn to iniquity; for, after your misery, you have begun to follow this.
22. Behold, God is exalted in his strength, and there is no one like him among the law-givers.
23. Who is able to investigate his ways? And who can say, "You have done iniquity," to him?
24. Remember that you are ignorant of his work, yet men have sung its praises.
25. All men consider him; and each one ponders from a distance.
26. Behold, God is great, defeating our knowledge; the number of his years is inestimable.
27. He carries away the drops of rain, and he sends forth showers like a raging whirlpool;
28. they flow from the clouds that are woven above everything.
29. If he wills it, he extends the clouds as his tent
30. and shines with his light from above; likewise, he covers the oceans within his tent.
31. For he judges the people by these things, and he gives food to a multitude of mortals.
32. Within his hands, he hides the light, and he commands it to come forth again.
