约伯记 37:15 CUVS

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Job 37:1-24

The Speech of Elihu. IV. Job 35-37 Elihu says many beautiful things. There is some difficulty in tracing the uniting line of his numerous remarks, but the remarks themselves often glitter with a really beautiful light. Many of the independent sayings are like single jewels. We need not always look for the thread upon which the pearls are strung: sometimes it is enough to see the separate pearls themselves, to admire, to value, and spiritually to appropriate all their helpful suggestion.... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Job 37:14-24

(14) ¶ Hearken unto this, O Job: stand still, and consider the wondrous works of God. (15) Dost thou know when God disposed them, and caused the light of his cloud to shine? (16) Dost thou know the balancings of the clouds, the wondrous works of him which is perfect in knowledge? (17) How thy garments are warm, when he quieteth the earth by the south wind? (18) Hast thou with him spread out the sky, which is strong, and as a molten looking glass? (19) Teach us what we shall say unto him; for we... read more

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Job 37:14-20

14-20 Due thoughts of the works of God will help to reconcile us to all his providences. As God has a powerful, freezing north wind, so he has a thawing, composing south wind: the Spirit is compared to both, because he both convinces and comforts, Song of Solomon 4:16. The best of men are much in the dark concerning the glorious perfections of the Divine nature and the Divine government. Those who, through grace, know much of God, know nothing, in comparison with what is to be known, and of... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Job 37:14-24

Final Admonition Addressed to Job v. 14. Hearken unto this, O Job: Stand still, spending some time in contemplation of the miracles just set forth by Elihu, and consider the wondrous works of God. v. 15. Dost thou know when God disposed them, when He thinks about these miracles, when He plans to have them performed, and caused the light of His cloud to shine? Could Job explain the phenomenon of lightning as it flashes forth from the dark mass of clouds? v. 16. Dost thou know the balancings... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Job 37:1-24

the Light in the Clouds Job 37:1-24 As Elihu spoke a thunder-storm was gathering, and much of the imagery of this chapter is suggested by that fact. The little group listened to the sound of God’s voice in the thunder. Peal followed peal without cessation, Job 37:4 . The lightly-falling snow and the drenching showers are alike His work, whether they restrain men from their labor in the fields or drive the beasts to their dens, Job 37:8 . From the storm Elihu turns naturally to the winter,... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Job 37:1-24

The description of the storm commenced in the previous chapter and is here completed. There is first the drawing up of the water into the clouds, their spreading over the sky, the strange mutterings of the thunder. Then the flash of light, the darkness which follows, again lightning that strikes the mark, and the cattle are seen to be conscious of the storm. Gradually its violence increases, the thunder is louder, and the lightning more vivid. It is a strange mixture in which the south wind... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Job 37:14-18

Job 37:14-: . Job is invited to consider God’ s wonders. Does he know how God lays His charge upon them, i.e. probably the phenomena just described by Elihu in Job 37:1-1 Chronicles :? Does he understand the flashing of the lightning, the balancing of the clouds, the warmth and stillness accompanying the sirocco? Can he spread out the firmament firm and bright as a metal mirror? read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Job 37:15

When God disposed them, to wit, the things before mentioned, the clouds, rain, snow, thunder and lightning, and other meteors. Did God ask counsel from thee to acquaint thee with his counsels in the producing and ordering of them, when, and where, and in what manner he should dispose them? God ordereth all these things not as it pleaseth thee, but as he thinks meet; and in like manner he disposeth of all human affairs, and of thine among the rest. Caused the light of his cloud to shine; which... read more
