First, If Clouds do whatsoever God commands them, then surely Christians ought to do whatsoever Christ commands them: Shall the Clouds of God out do the children of God in obedience? We find that admonition often urged in the Scripture of the New Testament, especially in the 13th of Matthew, and in the 1st 2d and 3d Chapters of the Revelation, He that hath ears to hear, let him hear. But behold a wonder, they that have no ears hear! The Clouds have no ears, and yet they hear, and more than hear, they do the commands of God. What shall we say, when Clouds hear and obey, and men do neither? Let us learn Duty from the Clouds. We are sent to the School of Nature in holy Scripture, almost throughout. Elihu seems to say, Go to the Clouds, O ye that are either slothful or disobedient, consider their work and be wise; they are continually doing whatsoever the Lord commands them.
