Job 37:11 - John Wesley's Notes

Job 37:11

9 From the chamber of the south comes the whirlwind,
And cold from the scattering winds of the north.

10 ^aBy the breath of God ice is given,
And the broad waters are frozen.

11 Also with moisture He saturates the thick clouds;
He scatters His¹ bright clouds.

12 And they swirl about, being turned by His guidance,
That they may ^ado whatever He commands them
On the face of¹ the whole earth.

13 ^aHe causes it to come,
Whether for¹ correction,
Or ^bfor His land,
Or ^cfor mercy.

14 “Listen to this, O Job;
Stand still and ^aconsider the wondrous works of God.

15 Do you know when God¹ dispatches them,
And causes the light of His cloud to shine?

16 ^aDo you know how the clouds are balanced,
Those wondrous works of ^bHim who is perfect in knowledge?

Job 37:11

Watering - The earth. They spend themselves and are exhausted watering the earth, until they are weary. Wearieth - Them with much water, and making them to go long journeys to water remote parts, and at last to empty themselves there: all which things make men weary; and therefore are here said to make the clouds weary by a common figure. Scattereth - As for the white and lightsome clouds, he scatters and dissolves them by the wind or sun.
