Job 37:6-16

6 Porque a la nieve dice: "Cae sobre la tierra", y al aguacero y a la lluvia: "Sed fuertes."

7 El sella la mano de todo hombre, para que todos conozcan su obra.

8 La fiera entra en su guarida, y permanece en su madriguera.

9 Del sur viene el torbellino, y del norte el frío.

10 Del soplo de Dios se forma el hielo, y se congela la extensión de las aguas.

11 También El carga de humedad la densa nube, y esparce la nube con su relámpago;

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,

Job 37:6-16 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.
