Job 37:17-24

Job 37:17-24 AMP

You whose garments are hot, When He quiets the earth [in sultry summer] with the [oppressive] south wind? “Can you, with Him, spread out the sky, Strong as a molten mirror? “Tell us [Job] what words [of man] shall we say to such a Being; We cannot state our case because of darkness [that is, our ignorance in the presence of the unsearchable God]. “So shall it be told Him that I wish to speak? Or should a man say that he would be swallowed up [and destroyed by God]? ¶“Now people cannot look at the light when it is bright in the skies [without being blinded], When the wind has passed and cleared them. “Out of the north comes golden splendor [and people can hardly look on it]; Around God is awesome splendor and majesty [far too glorious for man’s eyes]. “The Almighty—we cannot find Him; He is exalted in power And He will not do violence to [nor disregard] justice and abundant righteousness. [1 Tim 6:16] “Men therefore fear Him; He does not regard nor respect any who are wise in heart [in their own understanding and conceit].” [Matt 10:28]
