Job 37:21 Context
19Teach vs what we shall say vnto him; for we cannot order our speach by reason of darknes. 20Shall it bee told him that I speake? if a man speake, surely he shalbe swallowed vp. 21And nowe men see not the bright light which is in the clouds: but the wind passeth and cleanseth them. 22Faire weather commeth out of the North: with God is terrible maiestie. 23Touching the Almighty, we cannot find him out: he is excellent in power, and in iudgement, and in plenty of iustice: he will not afflict.

Wesley's Notes for Job 37:21
37:21 Light - The sun; which is emphatically called light, and here the bright light: which men cannot behold or gaze on, when the sky is very clear: and therefore it is not strange if we cannot see God, or discern his counsels and ways. Them - The sky by driving away those clouds which darkened it.
