14. “Pay attention to this, Job!Stand still and consider the wonders God works.
15. Do you know how God commands them,how he makes lightning flash in his storm cloud?
16. Do you know about the balancing of the clouds,that wondrous activity of him who is perfect in knowledge?
17. You, whose garments are hotwhen the earth is still because of the south wind,
18. will you, with him, spread out the clouds,solid as a mirror of molten metal?
19. Tell us what we should say to him.We cannot prepare a case because of the darkness.
20. Should he be informed that I want to speak?If a man speaks, surely he would be swallowed up!
21. But now, the sun cannot be looked at – it is bright in the skies – after a wind passed and swept the clouds away.
22. From the north he comes in golden splendor;around God is awesome majesty.
23. As for the Almighty, we cannot attain to him!He is great in power,but justice and abundant righteousness he does not oppress.
24. Therefore people fear him,for he does not regard all the wise in heart.”
