22 Out of the north he comes in golden splendor; God comes in awesome majesty.
22 Fair weather cometh out of the north: with God is terrible majesty.
22 Out of the north comes golden splendor; God is clothed with awesome majesty.
22 As gold comes from the northern mountains, so a terrible beauty streams from God.
22 He comes from the north as golden splendor; With God is awesome majesty.
22 So also, golden splendor comes from the mountain of God. He is clothed in dazzling splendor.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Job 37:22
Commentary on Job 37:21-24
(Read Job 37:21-24)
Elihu concludes his discourse with some great sayings concerning the glory of God. Light always is, but is not always to be seen. When clouds come between, the sun is darkened in the clear day. The light of God's favour shines ever towards his faithful servants, though it be not always seen. Sins are clouds, and often hinder us from seeing that bright light which is in the face of God. Also, as to those thick clouds of sorrow which often darken our minds, the Lord hath a wind which passes and clears them away. What is that wind? It is his Holy Spirit. As the wind dispels and sweeps away the clouds which are gathered in the air, so the Spirit of God clears our souls from the clouds and fogs of ignorance and unbelief, of sin and lust. From all these clouds the Holy Spirit of God frees us in the work of regeneration. And from all the clouds which trouble our consciences, the Holy Spirit sets us free in the work of consolation. Now that God is about to speak, Elihu delivers a few words, as the sum of all his discourse. With God is terrible majesty. Sooner or later all men shall fear him.
