Job 37:23

God's power and sovereigntyJustice

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

22 Out of the north He comes in golden splendor; awesome majesty surrounds Him.

The Almighty is beyond our reach; He is exalted in power! In His justice and great righteousness He does not oppress.

24 Therefore, men fear Him, for He is not partial to the wise in heart.”
