22 Bright weather comes from the north, and there is a terrible splendor around God.

23 Almighty! we do not comprehend Him. He is great in power, judgment and the fullness of justice. It does not oppress anyone.

24 Therefore let men revere him, and let all the wise in heart tremble before him.

1 And the Lord answered Job out of the storm, saying,

2 Who is this that darkens Providence with words without meaning?

3 Thou shalt now gird up thy loins as a man: I will inquire of thee, and thou shalt explain unto me:

4 Where were you when I laid the foundations of the earth? Tell me if you know.

5 Who has measured it, if you know? Or who stretched the rope along it?

6 On what are its foundations established, or who laid its cornerstone,

7 With the general rejoicing of the morning stars, when all the sons of God shouted for joy?

8 Who shut the sea with gates, when it was poured out, came out as it were out of the womb,

9 When I made the clouds his garment, and the darkness his swaddling clothes,

10 And he confirmed my decree unto him, and set up bars and gates,

11 And he said, Hitherto thou shalt come, and thou shalt not pass over, and here is the limit of thy haughty waves?

12 Have you ever given orders to the morning in your life, and have you shown the dawn its place,

13 that it may encompass the ends of the earth, and shake off the wicked from it,

14 that the earth may be changed like clay under a seal, and become like a garment of many colors,

15 And that their light should be taken away from the wicked, and their bold hand broken?

16 Hast thou descended into the depths of the sea, and hast thou entered into the search of the deep?

17 Have the gates of death been opened unto thee, and hast thou seen the gates of the shadow of death?
