New Testament

Job 36:19-30 English Standard Version (ESV)

19. Will your cry for help avail to keep you from distress,or all the force of your strength?

20. Do not long for the night,when peoples vanish in their place.

21. Take care; do not turn to iniquity,for this you have chosen rather than affliction.

22. Behold, God is exalted in his power;who is a teacher like him?

23. Who has prescribed for him his way,or who can say, ‘You have done wrong’?

24. “Remember to extol his work,of which men have sung.

25. All mankind has looked on it;man beholds it from afar.

26. Behold, God is great, and we know him not;the number of his years is unsearchable.

27. For he draws up the drops of water;they distill his mist in rain,

28. which the skies pour downand drop on mankind abundantly.

29. Can anyone understand the spreading of the clouds,the thunderings of his pavilion?

30. Behold, he scatters his lightning about himand covers the roots of the sea.
