Job 37:16,17 - Joseph Benson’s Commentary on the Old and New Testaments

Bible Comments

Dost thou know the balancings of the clouds? How God doth, as it were, weigh the clouds in balances; so that, although they are full of water, and heavy, yet they are by his power suspended in the thin air, and kept from falling down upon us in spouts and floods, as sometimes they have done, and generally would do, if not governed by a higher Providence. The works of him who is perfect in knowledge These are effects and evidences of his infinite power and knowledge. How thy garments are warm How and why thy garments keep thee warm; or whence it comes, that the air grows mild when the south wind blows.

Job 37:16-17

16 Dost thou know the balancings of the clouds, the wondrous works of him which is perfect in knowledge?

17 How thy garments are warm, when he quieteth the earth by the south wind?
