17 You, whose garments are hotwhen the earth is still because of the south wind,
18 will you, with him, spread out the clouds,solid as a mirror of molten metal?
19 Tell us what we should say to him.We cannot prepare a case because of the darkness.
20 Should he be informed that I want to speak?If a man speaks, surely he would be swallowed up!
21 But now, the sun cannot be looked at – it is bright in the skies – after a wind passed and swept the clouds away.
22 From the north he comes in golden splendor;around God is awesome majesty.
23 As for the Almighty, we cannot attain to him!He is great in power,but justice and abundant righteousness he does not oppress.
