Job 37:19

Humility

17 You whose clothes get hot when the land lies hushed under the south wind,

18 can you, like Him, spread out the skies to reflect the heat like a mirror of bronze?

Teach us what we should say to Him; we cannot draw up our case when our faces are in darkness.

20 Should He be told that I want to speak? Would a man ask to be swallowed up ?

21 Now no one can gaze at the sun when it is bright in the skies after the wind has swept them clean.

Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
