욥기 37:6 KRV

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 37:6-7

(6) ¶ For he saith to the snow, Be thou on the earth; likewise to the small rain, and to the great rain of his strength. (7) He sealeth up the hand of every man; that all men may know his work. How beautiful an account is this of GOD'S Work! and how evident is it from these words, that GOD expects men should take account of his grace and mercy, in thus sending upon the earth the different weathers, as tokens of his bounty and love. Doth GOD shut up the windows of heaven? What is this but to... read more

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Job 37:1-13

1-13 The changes of the weather are the subject of a great deal of our thoughts and common talk; but how seldom do we think and speak of these things, as Elihu, with a regard to God, the director of them! We must notice the glory of God, not only in the thunder and lightning, but in the more common and less awful changes of the weather; as the snow and rain. Nature directs all creatures to shelter themselves from a storm; and shall man only be unprovided with a refuge? Oh that men would listen... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Job 37:1-13

The Last Word on the Miracles in NatuRev. 1. At this, namely, the powerful exhibition of God's majesty, as just described, also my heart trembleth and is moved out of his place, springing up, giving a bound, as the awe of the spectacle took hold upon it. It seems also that the storm of which the next chapter speaks had gathered and was about to break at this point. v. 2. Hear attentively the noise of His voice, the roar of the Lord's voice in the thunder which was now to be heard plainly, ... 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

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Job 37:1-13

Job 37:1-1 Chronicles : . Elihu trembles at this. Listen to the thunder. First the lightning flashes ( Job 37:3) then the thunder follows ( Job 37:4 f.). Job 37:2 suggests that a thunderstorm was actually taking place while Elihu was speaking, and many see in this a preparation for the manifestation of Yahweh in ch. 38. It is not clear, however, that the author intended this, as he passes on from the thunderstorm to snow and rain. These God sends on the earth ( Job 37:6). They stop the work... read more

Joseph Exell

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Job 37:1-24

ELIHU’S FOURTH SPEECH CONTINUEDElihu continues his discourse, apparently in the midst of loud thunder-claps, suddenly issuing from the storm-cloud out of which the Almighty was about to speak, and which had already been seen gathering. The scene sublime and terrific. Elihu sensibly affected by it. (Job 37:1)—“At this (the thunder he had just spoken of, ch. 36, 33), and which was now heard) my heart trembleth (beats with awe) and is moved (or leaps) out of his place”. Awe, a natural effect of... read more
