Job 36:18-29 New American Standard Bible (NASB)

18. "Beware that wrath does not entice you to scoffing; And do not let the greatness of the ransom turn you aside.

19. "Will your riches keep you from distress, Or all the forces of your strength?

20. "Do not long for the night, When people vanish in their place.

21. "Be careful, do not turn to evil, For you have preferred this to affliction.

22. "Behold, God is exalted in His power; Who is a teacher like Him?

23. "Who has appointed Him His way, And who has said, 'You have done wrong'?

24. "Remember that you should exalt His work, Of which men have sung.

25. "All men have seen it; Man beholds from afar.

26. "Behold, God is exalted, and we do not know Him; The number of His years is unsearchable.

27. "For He draws up the drops of water, They distill rain from the mist,

28. Which the clouds pour down, They drip upon man abundantly.

29. "Can anyone understand the spreading of the clouds, The thundering of His pavilion?
