Job 36:16-33

“God is gently calling you from the jaws of trouble to an open place of freedom where he has set your table full of the best food. But now you are being punished like the wicked; you are getting justice. Be careful! Don’t be led away from God by riches; don’t let much money turn you away. Neither your wealth nor all your great strength will keep you out of trouble. Don’t wish for the night when people are taken from their homes. Be careful not to turn to evil, which you seem to want more than suffering. “God is great and powerful; no other teacher is like him. No one has planned his ways for him; no one can say to God, ‘You have done wrong.’ Remember to praise his work, about which people have sung. Everybody has seen it; people look at it from far off. God is so great, greater than we can understand! No one knows how old he is. “He evaporates the drops of water from the earth and turns them into rain. The rain then pours down from the clouds, and showers fall on people. No one understands how God spreads out the clouds or how he sends thunder from where he lives. Watch how God scatters his lightning around him, lighting up the deepest parts of the sea. This is the way God governs the nations; this is how he gives us enough food. God fills his hands with lightning and commands it to strike its target. His thunder announces the coming storm, and even the cattle know it is near.
