17 You suffer in your clotheswhen the land is silenced by the hot, south wind.
18 You cannot stretch out the sky like Godand make it look as hard as polished bronze.
19 Tell us what we should say to him;we cannot get our arguments ready because we do not have enough understanding.
20 Should God be told that I want to speak?Would a person ask to be swallowed up?
21 No one can look at the sunwhen it is bright in the skyafter the wind has blown all the clouds away.
22 God comes out of the north in golden light,in overwhelming greatness.
23 The Almighty is too high for us to reach.He has great strength;he is always right and never punishes unfairly.
