Job 37:12-22

12 aquélla gira y da vueltas por su sabia dirección, para hacer todo lo que El le ordena sobre la faz de toda la tierra.
13 Ya sea por corrección, o por el mundo suyo, o por misericordia, El hace que suceda.
14 Escucha esto, Job, detente y considera las maravillas de Dios.
15 ¿Sabes tú cómo Dios las establece, y hace resplandecer el relámpago de su nube?
16 ¿Sabes tú la posición de las densas nubes, maravillas del perfecto en conocimiento,
17 tú, cuyos vestidos están calientes cuando la tierra está en calma a causa del viento del sur?
18 ¿Puedes con El extender el firmamento, fuerte como espejo de metal fundido?
19 Enséñanos qué le hemos de decir a Dios; no podemos ordenar nuestro argumento a causa de las tinieblas.
20 ¿Habrá que contarle que yo quiero hablar? ¿O debe un hombre decir que quiere ser tragado?
21 Ahora los hombres no ven la luz que brilla en el firmamento; pero pasa el viento y lo despeja.
22 Del norte viene dorado esplendor: majestad impresionante alrededor de Dios.

Job 37:12-22 Meaning and Commentary

INTRODUCTION TO JOB 37

Elihu in this chapter proceeds to show the greatness of God as it appears in other of his works of nature, which greatly affected him, and to an attention to which he exhorts others, Job 37:1,2; particularly thunder and lightning, the direction, extent, and order of which he observes, Job 37:3,4; and then suggests that besides these there are other great things done by him, incomprehensible and unknown in various respects; as the snow, and rain, lesser and greater, which come on the earth at his command, and have such effect on men as to seal up their hands, and on the beasts of the field as to cause them to retire to their dens, and there remain, Job 37:5-8; and then he goes on to take notice of wind, and frost, and the clouds, and dispersion of them; their use and ends, whether in judgment or mercy, Job 37:9-13; and then calls on Job to consider these wondrous works of God, and remark how ignorant men are of the disposition of clouds for the rainbow; of the balancing of them; of the heat and quietness that come by the south wind, and of the firmness of the sky, Job 37:14-21; and from all this he concludes the terrible majesty, unsearchable nature of God, the excellency of his power and justice; and that men therefore should and do fear him, who is no respecter of persons, Job 37:21-23.
