Job 37:13 Context
11Also by watring he wearieth the thicke cloud: hee scattereth his bright cloud. 12And it is turned round about by his counsels: that they may doe whatsoeuer hee commaundeth them vpon the face of the world in the earth. 13He causeth it to come, whether for correction, or for his land, or for mercy. 14Hearken vnto this, O Iob: stand still, and consider the wondrous workes of God. 15Doest thou knowe when God disposed them, and caused the light of his cloud to shine?
