1There is another reading of these words, some give it thus; after him a voice roareth, That is, after his command; God willing and giving forth an order for it, a voice roareth, that is, at his command or word the voice roareth, or followeth. As if the scope of Elihu in this Text, were to show, that neither Thunder nor Lightning stir a foot or hairs breadth, till they have a word from God, as indeed they do not. For, though Thunder and Lightning may be called Gods Ushers or Heralds that go before him & proclaim his approach (Psal. 18.12, 13, 14.) yet they follow and come after him; They go before him as to action, yet they come after him as to commission, they go not till he saith go, or hath given them commission to go. That's a profitable reading of the words.
