Job 37:12

12 Asimismo por sus designios se revuelven las nubes en derredor, Para hacer sobre la haz del mundo, En la tierra, lo que él les mandara.

Job 37:12 Meaning and Commentary

Job 37:12

And it is turned round about by his counsels
The cloud is, and that by the wind, which is turned about to all points of the compass, according to the will of God; by the counsels of him who sits at the helm, as the word signifies, and orders all things according to the counsel of his own will: to which owing every shifting of the wind, and the various motions of the clouds;

that they may do whatsoever he commandeth them upon the face of the
world in the earth;
as all his creatures do; the several meteors in the air, clouds, stormy wind, fire, hail, snow, and vapour, all fulfilling his word; and which they do everywhere in the several parts of the world whither they are sent, ( Psalms 107:25-29 ) ( 148:1-14 ) . So ministers of the word drop down or withhold the rain of Gospel doctrine, and carry it into the several places of the world, as the Lord directs them; see ( Isaiah 5:6 ) ( Acts 13:46 ) ( Matthew 28:19 Matthew 28:20 ) .

Job 37:12 In-Context

10 Por el soplo de Dios se da el hielo, Y las anchas aguas son constreñidas.
11 Regando también llega á disipar la densa nube, Y con su luz esparce la niebla.
12 Asimismo por sus designios se revuelven las nubes en derredor, Para hacer sobre la haz del mundo, En la tierra, lo que él les mandara.
13 Unas veces por azote, otras pos causa de su tierra, Otras por misericordia las hará parecer.
14 Escucha esto, Job; Repósate, y considera las maravillas de Dios.
