14 Listen to this, Job.

Stop and consider God’s wonders.

15 Do you know how God directs his clouds

or makes their lightning flash?

16 Do you understand how the clouds float,

those wonderful works of him who has perfect knowledge?

17 You whose clothes get hot

when the south wind brings calm to the land,

18 can you help God spread out the skies

as hard as a cast metal mirror?

19 Teach us what we should say to him;k

we cannot prepare our case because of our darkness.

20 Should he be told that I want to speak?

Can a man speak when he is confused?
