Job 37:20

New Revised Standard Version Updated Edition 2021

Should he be told that I want to speak? Did anyone ever wish to be swallowed up?

See the chapter Copy

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

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.

Now, no one can look 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!
