JOB, Chap. 36. Vers. 29, 30, 31. 29. Also, can any understand the spreadings of the Clouds, or the noise of his Tabernacle? 30. Behold, he spreadeth his light upon it, and covereth the bottom of the sea. 31. For by them he judgeth the people, he giveth meat in abundance.
Elihu having spoken of the wonderful work of God in forming and sending rain in the two former verses, speaks next of the Clouds, which are as vessels containing the rain, and in which the rain is carried and conveyed up and down the world for the use of man, or for those services, to which God hath appointed it. He begins with a denying Question: Vers. 29. Also, can any understand the spreading of the Clouds?
ELihu having spoken of the wonderfull work of God in forming and sending rain in the two former verses, speaks next of the Clouds, which are as vessels containing the rain, and in which the rain is carried and conveighed up and down the world for the use of man, or for those services, to which God hath appoynted it. He begins with a denying Question: Vers. 29. Also, can any understand the spreading of the Clouds?
As if he had said, To what I said before, I add this, Here is another secret in nature, Can any understand the spreading of the Clouds? He doth not say, can vulgar ignorant and unlearned persons understand, but can any? Can the wisest? can the most learned? Can the best studied Philosophers understand the spreading of the Clouds? Can they understand? That is, they cannot understand.
