Should He be told that I want to speak? Would a man ask to be swallowed up?

The verses around it, from Job 37.
16 Do you understand how the clouds float, those wonders of Him who is perfect in knowledge?
17 You whose clothes get hot when the land lies hushed under the south wind,
18 can you, like Him, spread out the skies to reflect the heat like a mirror of bronze?
19 Teach us what we should say to Him; we cannot draw up our case when our faces are in darkness.
20 Should He be told that I want to speak? Would a man ask to be swallowed up?
21 Now no one can gaze at the sun when it is bright in the skies after the wind has swept them clean.
22 Out of the north He comes in golden splendor; awesome majesty surrounds Him.
23 The Almighty is beyond our reach; He is exalted in power! In His justice and great righteousness He does not oppress.
24 Therefore, men fear Him, for He is not partial to the wise in heart.”
