Job 37:14-16

¹⁴ “Listen to this, Job.
Stand still, and consider the wondrous works of God. ¹⁵ Do you know how God controls them,
and causes the lightning of his cloud to shine? ¹⁶ Do you know the workings of the clouds,
the wondrous works of him who is perfect in knowledge?

Commentary on Job 37:14-20

(Read Job 37:14-20)

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 what will be known, when that which is perfect is come.
