Job 36:22–33

²²“God is honored because he is so powerful.

He has no equal as a teacher.

²³Who has told him what he can do?

Who has said to him, ‘You have done what is wrong’?

²⁴Remember to thank him for what he’s done.

People have praised him with their songs.

²⁵Every human being has seen his work.

People can see it from far away.

²⁶How great God is! We’ll never completely understand him.

We’ll never find out how long he has lived.

²⁷“He makes mist rise from the water.

Then it falls as rain into the streams.

²⁸The clouds pour down their moisture.

Rain showers fall on people everywhere.

²⁹Who can understand how God spreads out the clouds?

Who can explain how he thunders from his home in heaven?

³⁰See how he scatters his lightning around him!

He lights up the deepest parts of the ocean.

³¹The rain he sends makes things grow for the nations.

He provides them with plenty of food.

³²He holds lightning bolts in his hands.

He commands them to strike their marks.

³³His thunder announces that a storm is coming.

Even the cattle let us know it’s approaching.
