God draws up the water-drops and lets them fall in rain. Who can understand the distribution of the clouds, the thunders which fill the cloud where He dwells? (cf. Psalms 18:11). He is surrounded with light (Job 36:30). By the thunderstorm He judges the peoples and supplies humanity with food (by the fertilising rain). He fills His hands with the lightning and sends it home to its mark.
Job 36:30 b is unintelligible. Budde reads, and the roots of the sea He lays bare. Duhm corrects the whole verse, Behold He spreadeth His cloud about him, and He covereth the tops of the mountains. In Job 36:33 read His war-cry announceth Him, kindling His wrath against iniquity (Duhm).
Job 36:33 b, as it stands, is quite unintelligible.
