| Geneva Study Bible Also by watering he {h} wearieth the thick cloud: he scattereth his {i} bright cloud: (h) Gather the vapours and move to and fro to water the earth. (i) That is, the cloud that has lightning in it. Wesley's Notes 37:11 Watering - The earth. They spend themselves and are exhausted watering the earth, until they are weary. Wearieth - Them with much water, and making them to go long journeys to water remote parts, and at last to empty themselves there: all which things make men weary; and therefore are here said to make the clouds weary by a common figure. Scattereth - As for the white and lightsome clouds, he scatters and dissolves them by the wind or sun. King James Translators' Notes his...: Heb. the cloud of his light Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary 11-13. How the thunderclouds are dispersed, or else employed by God, either for correction or mercy. by watering-by loading it with water. wearieth-burdeneth it, so that it falls in rain; thus "wearieth" answers to the parallel "scattereth" (compare, see on [542]Job 37:9); a clear sky resulting alike from both. bright cloud-literally, "cloud of his light," that is, of His lightning. Umbreit for "watering," &c., translates; "Brightness drives away the clouds, His light scattereth the thick clouds"; the parallelism is thus good, but the Hebrew hardly sanctions it. Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary 37:1-13 The changes of the weather are the subject of a great deal of our thoughts and common talk; but how seldom do we think and speak of these things, as Elihu, with a regard to God, the director of them! We must notice the glory of God, not only in the thunder and lightning, but in the more common and less awful changes of the weather; as the snow and rain. Nature directs all creatures to shelter themselves from a storm; and shall man only be unprovided with a refuge? Oh that men would listen to the voice of God, who in many ways warns them to flee from the wrath to come; and invites them to accept his salvation, and to be happy. The ill opinion which men entertain of the Divine direction, peculiarly appears in their murmurs about the weather, though the whole result of the year proves the folly of their complaints. Believers should avoid this; no days are bad as God makes them, though we make many bad by our sins. |
