Matthew Henry Commentary Job 37:14-20

"Hearken unto this, O Job: Stand still, and consider the wondrous works of God. Dost thou know how God layeth [his charge] upon them, And causeth the lightning of his cloud to shine? Dost thou know the balancings of the clouds, The wondrous works of him who is perfect in knowledge? How thy garments are warm, When the earth is still by reason of the south [wind]? Canst thou with him spread out the sky, Which is strong as a molten mirror? Teach us what we shall say unto him; [For] we cannot set [our speech] in order by reason of darkness. Shall it be told him that I would speak? Or should a man wish that he were swallowed up?" — Job 37:14-20 (ASV)

Proper thoughts about the works of God will help to reconcile us to all His providences. Just as God has a powerful, freezing north wind, so He has a thawing, calming south wind: the Spirit is compared to both, because He both convinces and comforts (Song of Solomon 4:16). The best of people 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.
