4 After it a voice roareth: he thundereth with the voice of his excellency; and he will not stay them when his voice is heard.
4 After that comes the sound of his roar; he thunders with his majestic voice. When his voice resounds, he holds nothing back.
4 After it his voice roars; he thunders with his majestic voice, and he does not restrain the lightnings
4 In their wake, the thunder echoes his voice, powerful and majestic. He lets out all the stops, he holds nothing back. No one can mistake that voice -
4 After it a voice roars; He thunders with His majestic voice, And He does not restrain them when His voice is heard.
4 Then comes the roaring of the thunder- the tremendous voice of his majesty. He does not restrain it when he speaks.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Job 37:4
Commentary on Job 37:1-13
(Read Job 37:1-13)
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 to the voice of God, who in many ways warns them to flee from the wrath to come; and invites them to accept his salvation, and to be happy. The ill opinion which men entertain of the Divine direction, peculiarly appears in their murmurs about the weather, though the whole result of the year proves the folly of their complaints. Believers should avoid this; no days are bad as God makes them, though we make many bad by our sins.
