Job 37:13
Compare all
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?
