Bible in Basic English
"Will you, with him, make the skies smooth, and strong as a polished looking-glass?"
— Job 37:18, Bible in Basic English
“Hast thou with him spread out the sky, which is strong, and as a molten looking glass?”
Have you knowledge of God's ordering of his works, how he makes the light of his cloud to be seen?
Have you knowledge of the balancings of the clouds, the wonders of him who has all wisdom?
You, whose clothing is warm, when the earth is quiet because of the south wind,
Will you, with him, make the skies smooth, and strong as a polished looking-glass?
Make clear to me what we are to say to him; we are unable to put our cause before him, because of the dark.
How may he have knowledge of my desire for talk with him? or did any man ever say, May destruction come on me?
And now the light is not seen, for it is dark because of the clouds; but a wind comes, clearing them away.
