There's no such thing as darkness to him not even deep darkness that can conceal those who practice evil.

"He strikes the wicked among them in a place where they can be seen

"If he remains silent, who will condemn him? If he conceals his face, who can see him? He watches over both nation and individual alike,

For thou dost say, How can one profit by thee? How can I benefit, more than by my sin?

If you are righteous, what will you add to him? What can God receive from your efforts?

Even though you complain that you can't perceive him, your case is already pending for judgment in his presence so keep on placing your hope in him.

Can your wealth or all your physical exertion
keep you from distress?

“Who has appointed God His way,
And who can say [to Him], ‘You have done wrong’?

Lo, God is great, and we comprehend him not, neither can the number of his years be searched out.

"Furthermore, can anyone understand cloud patterns, or the thundering in his pavilion?

His thunder roars after it; his majestic voice will thunder; and no one can trace them once his voice has been heard.

God thunders marvelously with his voice. He does great things, which we can't comprehend.

Can you spread out the skies like he does; can you cast them as one might a mirror?

Tell us! What are we to say to him? Can we prepare our case to face him when our faces are in darkness?

Has it been relayed to God that I want to talk? Can a person speak when he is confused?"

And now men can not look on the bright light which is in the clouds: but the wind passes, and clears them.

“Out of the north comes golden splendor [and people can hardly look on it];
Around God is awesome splendor and majesty [far too glorious for man’s eyes].

We can't reach the Almighty. He is exalted in power. In justice and great righteousness, he will not oppress.

Therefore humanity fears him, which none of the wise can quite comprehend."

Can you take it to its homeland, since you know the path to his house?

"Can you bind the chains of Pleiades or loosen the cords of Orion?

Can you bring out constellations in their season? Can you guide the Bear with her cubs?

Do you know the laws of the heavens? Can you regulate their authority over the earth?

"Can you call out to the clouds, so that abundant water drenches you?

Can you command the lightning, so that it goes forth and calls to you, "Look at us!'

“Who can count the clouds by wisdom,
Or tip the water jars of the heavens,

"Can you hunt prey for the lioness to satisfy young lions

Do thou know the time when the wild goats of the rock bring forth? [Or] can thou mark when the hinds do calve?

Can you count the months of their gestation? Do you know the time when they give birth,

Can you bind the ox to plow a furrow with a rope? Will he harrow after you in the valley?

Can you depend on it because its strength is great?
Would you leave it to do your hard work?

Can you count on it to bring in your grain, and gather the grain to your threshing floor?

“Yet when she lifts herself on high,
[So swift is she that] she laughs at the horse and his rider.

Can you make him leap like the locust, and make the splendor of his snorting terrifying?

“With fierceness and rage he races to devour the ground,
And he does not stand still at the sound of the [war] trumpet.

When the trumpet blasts he'll neigh, "Aha! Aha!' From a distance he can sense war, the war cry of generals, and their shouting."

He abideth in the stony rocks, and upon the high tops of hard mountains, where no man can come.

"Can he that striveth with the Almighty be at rest? Should not he which disputeth with God, give him an answer?"

"I must look insignificant to you! How can I answer you? I'm speechless.

I spoke once, but I can't answer; I tried a second time, but I won't do so anymore."

Indeed would you annul my justice and condemn me, just so you can claim that you're righteous?

Do you have strength like God? Can you create thunder with a sound like he can?"

then I will applaud you myself! I'll admit that you can deliver yourself by your own efforts!"

“He is the first [in magnitude and power] of the works of God;
[Only] He who made him can bring near His sword [to master him].

Behold, he drinketh up a river, and hasteth not: he trusteth that he can draw up Jordan into his mouth.

“Can anyone capture him when he is on watch,
With barbs can anyone pierce his nose?

"Can you draw Leviathan out of the water with a hook, or tie down his tongue with a rope?

Can you attach a bridle to his snout, or pierce his jaw with a hook?

Will he make a covenant with you
so that you can take him as a slave forever?

Can you play with it, like a bird, or tie it on a leash for your girls?

“Can you fill his skin with harpoons,
Or his head with fishing spears?

No one is fierce enough to dare to arouse him. "Who, then, can stand in my presence and face me?

Who can take me to court and be reconciled to me? All of heaven is mine.

Who can strip off his outer armor? Who can approach him with a bridle?

“Who can open the doors of his face?
Around his teeth there is terror.

“One is so near to another
That no air can come between them.

They are joined one to another. They stick together, so that they can't be pulled apart.

His breath can ignite coal; and flames proceed from his mouth.

The flakes of his flesh are joined together. They are firm on him. They can't be moved.

If one attacks him with the sword, it can't prevail; nor the spear, the dart, nor the pointed shaft.

No arrow can make him flee;
slingstones become like stubble to him.

“He looks on everything that is high [without terror];
He is monarch over all the sons of pride. [And now, Job, who are you who does not dare to disturb the beast, yet who dares resist Me, the beast’s creator? Everything under the heavens is Mine; therefore, who can have a claim against God?]”

"I know that you can do anything and nothing that you plan is impossible.

For who can keep his own counsel so secret, but it shall be known? Therefore have I spoken unwisely, seeing these things are so high, and pass mine understanding.
