16Do you know how the clouds are balanced, Those wondrous works of Him who is perfect in knowledge?16Do you understand how the clouds float, those wonders of Him who is perfect in knowledge?
17Why are your garments hot, When He quiets the earth by the south wind?17You whose clothes get hot when the land lies hushed under the south wind,
18With Him, have you spread out the skies, Strong as a cast metal mirror?18can you, like Him, spread out the skies to reflect the heat like a mirror of bronze?

24Therefore men fear Him; He shows no partiality to any who are wise of heart.”24Therefore, men fear Him, for He is not partial to the wise in heart.”
