3 He unleashes his lightning beneath the whole heaven and sends it to the ends of the earth.
3 He directeth it under the whole heaven, and his lightning
3 Under the whole heaven he lets it go, and his lightning to the corners of the earth.
3 He lets loose his lightnings from horizon to horizon, lighting up the earth from pole to pole.
3 He sends it forth under the whole heaven, His lightning to the ends of the earth.
3 It rolls across the heavens, and his lightning flashes in every direction.
Matthew Henry's Commentary on Job 37:3
Commentary on Job 37:1-13
(Read Job 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.
