 | | Literally, "He maketh it (the rain-cloud) find place," whether for correction, if (it be destined) for His land (that is, for the part inhabited by man, with whom God deals, as opposed to the parts uninhabited, on which rain is at other times appointed to fall, Job 38:26, 27) or for mercy. |
 | | It is because now man sees not the bright sunlight (God's dazzling majesty), owing to the intervening "clouds" ( Job 26:9), that they dare to wish to "speak" before God ( Job 37:20). |
 | | Job and other sufferers cannot see the light of God's countenance through the clouds of trial: but the wind will soon clear them off, and God shall appear again: let them but wait patiently, for He still shines, though for a time they see Him not (see on Job 37:23). |
