Job has spoken without knowledge, and his words are without understanding.

And if Job should add to his sins, then his transgression will affect us all, and he still will bring his complaint before God.

For now he does not punish with his anger; and he does not harm any soul.

He does not withdraw his eyes from the righteous; he sets kings on the throne; yea, they are exalted for ever.

But the meek shall be delivered through his meekness, and he opens their way in time of oppression.

Who has enjoined him his way? Or who can say, Thou hast wrought iniquity?

Remember that his works are great, and all men have praised him.

Behold, God is great, and we know him not, the number of his years is unsearchable.

Who can understand these things, or the spreading of the clouds out of the greatness of his tabernacle?

Behold, he spreads his light upon it, and covers the bottom of the sea.

He shows his possessions to his friends, and to the wicked also.

Listen attentively to the raging of his voice, and the judgment that goes out of his mouth.

Under the whole of heaven the people shall praise him, and his light shines upon the ends of the earth.

In his own place, he thunders with the voice of his excellency; and he will not need to search them out when his voice is heard.

God thunders with his voice; great and marvellous things does he, which we cannot understand.

He limits the power of every man, that all men may know his work.

The clouds are stretched out greatly; he spreads the clouds by his light.

And they turn round about by his counsels, that they may do whatever he commands them upon the face of his habitable earth.

Do you know what God has ordained for them, and what causes the light of his clouds to shine?

As for the Almighty, he is excellent in power and in justice; the Prince of the righteous will not afflict his people.
