36:21 Take heed, do not turn to evil,
for because of this you have been tested 1 by affliction.
36:22 Indeed, God is exalted in his power;
who is a teacher 2 like him?
36:23 Who has prescribed his ways for him?
Or said to him, ‘You have done what is wicked’?
36:24 Remember to extol 3 his work,
which people have praised in song.
36:25 All humanity has seen it;
people gaze on it from afar.
36:26 “Yes, God is great – beyond our knowledge! 4
The number of his years is unsearchable.
36:27 He draws up drops of water;
they distill 5 the rain into its mist, 6
36:28 which the clouds pour down
and shower on humankind abundantly.
36:29 Who can understand the spreading of the clouds,
the thunderings of his pavilion? 7
36:30 See how he scattered 8 his lightning 9 about him;
he has covered the depths 10 of the sea.
36:31 It is by these that he judges 11 the nations
and supplies food in abundance.
36:32 With his hands 12 he covers 13 the lightning,
and directs it against its target.
36:33 14 His thunder announces the coming storm,
the cattle also, concerning the storm’s approach.
