18 You cannot stretch out the sky ·like God [L with him]
    and make it look as hard as ·polished bronze [L a cast mirror].
19 ·Tell [L Teach] us what we should say to him;
    we cannot get our arguments ·ready [L in order] because ·we do not have enough understanding [L of the darkness].
20 Should God be told ·that I want to [or when I] speak?
    Would a person ask to be swallowed up?

18 Can you, with Him, (A)spread out the skies,
Strong as a cast metal mirror?
19 Teach us what we are to say to Him;
We (B)cannot present our case because of darkness.
20 Shall it be told Him that I would speak?
[a]Or should a man say that he would be swallowed up?
