How can he, whose mind is dark, address God? Shall I invite Him to converse and court destruction? (Job 37:19 f.). In Job 37:21 follow mg. And now men cannot look on the light when it is bright in the skies when the wind hath passed and cleansed them (i.e. when it has cleared away the clouds). But if man cannot look on the light in the skies how much less can he look on God? (Job 37:22). The north was conceived by the post-exilic Jews as the home of God (cf. Isaiah 14:13). The golden splendour is therefore the radiance streaming from God's throne. The Almighty is unsearchable, He is great in power, yet not unjust (Job 37:23). Men must fear him, He regards not those who think themselves wise (Job 37:24). In Job 37:23 render, Touching the Almighty we cannot find Him out, He is excellent in power and in judgment, and to plenteous justice He doeth no violence (Peake).
