21  “And now no one looks on the light

when it is bright in the skies,

when the wind has passed and cleared them.

22  Out of the north comes golden splendor;

God is clothed with jawesome majesty.

23  The Almighty—we kcannot find him;

he is lgreat in power;

mjustice and abundant righteousness he will not nviolate.

24  Therefore men ofear him;

he does not regard any who are pwise in their own conceit.”3

The Lord Answers Job

38 Then the Lord qanswered Job out of the whirlwind and said:

2  “Who is this that rdarkens counsel by words swithout knowledge?

3  tDress for action1 like a man;

I will question you, and you make it known to me.

4  “Where were you when I ulaid the foundation of the earth?

Tell me, if you have understanding.

5  Who determined its measurements—surely you know!

Or who stretched the line upon it?

6  On what were its bases sunk,

or who laid its cornerstone,

7  when the morning stars vsang together

and all wthe sons of God xshouted for joy?

8  “Or who yshut in the sea with doors

when it burst out from the womb,

9  when I made clouds its garment

and zthick darkness its swaddling band,

10  and prescribed alimits for it

and set bars and doors,

11  and said, ‘Thus far shall you come, and no farther,

and here shall your bproud waves be stayed’?
