Not gold, nor all the resources of strength! 36:20 Desire not the night, when peoples are cut off from their place. 36:21 Take heed, turn not to iniquity; for this hast thou chosen rather than affliction. 36:22 Lo, 鵊od is exalted in his power: who teacheth as he? 36:23 Who hath appointed him his way? or who hath said, Thou hast wrought unrighteousness? 36:24 Remember that thou magnify his work, which men celebrate. 36:25 All men look at it; man beholdeth [it] afar off. 36:26 Lo, 鵊od is great, and we comprehend [him] not, neither can the number of his years be searched out. 36:27 For he draweth up the drops of water: they distil in rain from the vapour which he formeth, 36:28 Which the skies pour down [and] drop upon man abundantly. 36:29 But can any understand the spreadings of the clouds, [or] the crashing of his pavilion? 36:30 Lo, he spreadeth his light around him, and covereth the bottom of the sea. 36:31 For with them he judgeth the peoples; he giveth food in abundance. 36:32 [His] hands he covereth with lightning, and commandeth it where it is to strike. 36:33 His thundering declareth concerning him; the cattle even, concerning its coming.
