| Geneva Study Bible Dost thou know the {m} balancings of the clouds, the wondrous works of him which is perfect in knowledge? (m) Which is sometimes changed into rain, or snow, hail or such like. Wesley's Notes 37:16 Balancings - How God doth as it were weigh the clouds in balances, so that although they are full of water, yet they are kept up by the thin air. Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary 16. Hebrew, "Hast thou understanding of the balancings," &c., how the clouds are poised in the air, so that their watery gravity does not bring them to the earth? The condensed moisture, descending by gravity, meets a warmer temperature, which dissipates it into vapor (the tendency of which is to ascend) and so counteracts the descending force. perfect in knowledge-God; not here in the sense that Elihu uses it of himself (Job 36:4). dost thou know-how, &c. Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary 37:14-20 Due thoughts of the works of God will help to reconcile us to all his providences. As God has a powerful, freezing north wind, so he has a thawing, composing south wind: the Spirit is compared to both, because he both convinces and comforts, So 4:16. The best of men are much in the dark concerning the glorious perfections of the Divine nature and the Divine government. Those who, through grace, know much of God, know nothing, in comparison with what is to be known, and of what will be known, when that which is perfect is come. |
