SCRIPTURE

"And now men see not the light which is bright in the skies; But the wind passeth, and cleareth them." — Job 37:21 (ASV)

And now men see not the bright lightthat is, the sun. “But he is bright behind the clouds, and when the wind has passed over them and cleared them away, even the north wind, he will come forth like gold; but upon God there is terrible majesty. Though the sun is hidden, we shall see him again, but who can ever comprehend God?” It is evident that this interpretation adds great sublimity, and points to the opening of the next chapter.
