Stand still and consider the wonders God works.
15 Do you know how God commands them,[a]
how he makes lightning flash in his storm cloud?[b]
16 Do you know about the balancing[c] of the clouds,
that wondrous activity of him who is perfect in knowledge?

Footnotes

  1. Job 37:15 tn The verb is בְּשׂוּם (besum, from שִׂים [sim, “set”]), so the idea is how God lays [or sets] [a command] for them. The suffix is proleptic, to be clarified in the second colon.
  2. Job 37:15 tn Dhorme reads this “and how his stormcloud makes lightning to flash forth?”
  3. Job 37:16 tn As indicated by HALOT 618 s.v. מִפְלָשׂ, the concept of “balancing” probably refers to “floating” or “suspension” (cf. NIV’s “how the clouds hang poised” and J. E. Hartley, Job [NICOT], 481-82, n. 2).
