Job 37:16

Verse 16 of 24. The 37th of 42 chapters in Job, in Poetry and Wisdom.

12It is turned around by his guidance, that they may do whatever he commands them on the surface of the habitable world,

13whether it is for correction, or for his land, or for loving kindness, that he causes it to come.

14“Listen to this, Job. Stand still, and consider the wondrous works of God.

15Do you know how God controls them, and causes the lightning of his cloud to shine?

16Do you know the workings of the clouds, the wondrous works of him who is perfect in knowledge?

17You whose clothing is warm when the earth is still by reason of the south wind?

18Can you, with him, spread out the sky, which is strong as a cast metal mirror?

19Teach us what we will tell him, for we can’t make our case by reason of darkness.

20Will it be told him that I would speak? Or should a man wish that he were swallowed up?
