Job 37:20

English Standard Version 2016

Shall it be told him that I would speak? Did a man ever wish that he would be swallowed up?

See the chapter Copy

Even before a word is on my tongue, behold, O Lord, you know it altogether.

For then it would be heavier than the sand of the sea; therefore my words have been rash.

Teach us what we shall say to him; we cannot draw up our case because of darkness.

“And now no one looks on the light when it is bright in the skies, when the wind has passed and cleared them.

But the Lord is in his holy temple; let all the earth keep silence before him.”
