Job 37:19 Context
17How thy garments are warme, when hee quieteth the earth by the South wind? 18Hast thou with him spread out the skie, which is strong, and as a molten looking glasse? 19Teach vs what we shall say vnto him; for we cannot order our speach by reason of darknes. 20Shall it bee told him that I speake? if a man speake, surely he shalbe swallowed vp. 21And nowe men see not the bright light which is in the clouds: but the wind passeth and cleanseth them.
