Job 37:22

Job 37:22

20 Should He be told that I wish to speak?
If a man were to speak, surely he would be swallowed up.

21 Even now men cannot look at the light when it is bright in the skies,
When the wind has passed and cleared them.

22 He comes from the north as golden splendor;
With God is awesome majesty.

23 As for the Almighty, ^awe cannot find Him;
^bHe is excellent in power,
In judgment and abundant justice;
He does not oppress.

24 Therefore men ^afear Him;
He shows no partiality to any who are ^bwise of heart.”

Rather, "golden splendor." MAURER translates "gold." It is found in northern regions. But God cannot be "found out," because of His "Majesty" (Job 37:23). Thus the twenty-eighth chapter corresponds; English Version is simpler.

the north—Brightness is chiefly associated with it (see on Job 23:9). Here, perhaps, because the north wind clears the air (Proverbs 25:23). Thus this clause answers to the last of Job 37:21; as the second of this verse to the first of Job 37:21. Inverted parallelism. (See Isaiah 14:13; Psalms 48:2).

with God—rather, "upon God," as a garment (Psalms 104:1-2).

majesty—splendor.
