An exposition with practical observations continued upon the thirty-fifth, thirty-sixth, and thirty-seventh chapters of…

Secondly, In the universality of their obedience, They do whatsoever he Commandeth. Elihu compares the Clouds and Meteors to good servants, who are ready to do what God their Master requireth of them; and not only so, but they do his Commands every where, or wheresoever he requires them, they do all his Commands, and that in all places, as the Text speaks in the next words, Upon the face of the world in the Earth.
