14"Hear this, O Job;
stop and consider the wondrous works of God.
15Do you know how God lays his command upon them,
and causes the lightning of his cloud to shine?
16Do you know the balancings of the clouds,
the wondrous works of him who is perfect in knowledge,
17you whose garments are hot
when the earth is still because of the south wind?
18Can you, like him, spread out the skies,
hard as a molten mirror?
19Teach us what we shall say to him;
we cannot draw up our case because of darkness.
20Shall it be told him that I would speak?
Did a man ever wish that he would be swallowed up?
21"And now men cannot look on the light
when it is bright in the skies,
when the wind has passed and cleared them.
22Out of the north comes golden splendour;
God is clothed with terrible majesty.
23The Almighty - we cannot find him;
he is great in power and justice,
and abundant righteousness he will not violate.
24Therefore men fear him;
he does not regard any who are wise in their own conceit."
