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

We are too ignorant to make our own arguments.

20Should God be notified that I want to speak?

Can people even speak when they are confused?^a

21We cannot look at the sun,

for it shines brightly in the sky

when the wind clears away the clouds.

22So also, golden splendor comes from the mountain of God.^b

He is clothed in dazzling splendor.

23We cannot imagine the power of the Almighty;

but even though he is just and righteous,

he does not destroy us.

24No wonder people everywhere fear him.

All who are wise show him reverence.”
