Job 36:22
20 Do not long for the night, when people vanish from their homes.
21 Be careful not to turn to iniquity, for this you have preferred to affliction.
Behold, God is exalted in His power. Who is a teacher like Him?
23 Who has appointed His way for Him, or told Him, ‘You have done wrong’?
24 Remember to magnify His work, which men have praised in song.
