Job 37:16-24 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

16. Do you know how the clouds are banked,the marvels of him who is perfect in knowledge?

17. You, who swelter in your clotheswhen calm lies over the land from the south,

18. Can you with him spread out the firmament of the skies,hard as a molten mirror?

19. Teach us then what we shall say to him;we cannot, for the darkness, make our plea.

20. Will he be told about it when I speak?Can anyone talk when he is being destroyed?

21. Rather, it is as the light that cannot be seenwhile it is obscured by the clouds,till the wind comes by and sweeps them away.

22. From Zaphon the golden splendor comes,surrounding God’s awesome majesty!

23. The Almighty! We cannot find him,preeminent in power and judgment,abundant in justice, who never oppresses.

24. Therefore people fear him;none can see him, however wise their hearts.
