Job 37:18–19

18 can you join him in spreading out the skies,

hard as a mirror of cast bronze?

19 “Tell us what we should say to him;

we cannot draw up our case because of our darkness.

18 Can you, like him, spread out the skies,

hard as a cast metal mirror?

19 Teach us what we shall say to him;

we cannot draw up our case because of darkness.

18 Hast thou with him spread out the sky,

Which is strong, and as a molten looking glass?

19 Teach us what we shall say unto him;

For we cannot order our speech by reason of darkness.

18 he makes the skies reflect the heat like a bronze mirror.

Can you do that?

19 “So teach the rest of us what to say to God.

We are too ignorant to make our own arguments.

18 You cannot stretch out the sky like God

and make it look as hard as polished bronze.

19 Tell us what we should say to him;

we cannot get our arguments ready because we do not have enough understanding.

18 Canst thou with him spread out the sky,

Which is strong as a molten mirror?

19 Teach us what we shall say unto him;

For we cannot set our speech in order by reason of darkness.

18 Hast thou with him spread out the sky, firm, like a molten mirror? 19 Teach us what we shall say unto him! We cannot order our words by reason of darkness.

18 Can you stretch out the skies with him 

and make them as firm as a mirror made of metal? 

19 Teach us what we should say to him. 

We are unable to prepare ⸤a case⸥ because of darkness. 

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;

we cannot prepare our case because of our darkness.

18 Can you, like him, spread out the skies,

hard as a molten mirror?

19 Teach us what we shall say to him;

we cannot draw up our case because of darkness.

18 with him can you spread out the skies,

hard as a molten mirror?

19 “Teach us what we should say to him;

we cannot draw up our case because of the presence of darkness.

18 Can you help God spread out the skies?

They are as hard as a mirror

that’s made out of bronze.

19 “Job, tell us what we should say to God.

We can’t prepare our case

because our minds are dark.

18 “Can you, with Him, spread out the skies,

Strong as a molten mirror?

19 “Teach us what we shall say to Him;

We cannot arrange our case because of darkness.
