Job 36:25–29 · Berean Standard Bible

25 All mankind has seen it; men behold it from afar.

26 Indeed, God is great—beyond our knowledge; the number of His years is unsearchable.

27 For He draws up drops of water which distill the rain from the mist,

28 which the clouds pour out and shower abundantly on mankind.

29 Furthermore, who can understand how the clouds spread out, how the thunder roars from His pavilion?
