Commentaries on Job 37:1
- Adam Clarke Bible Commentary · v. 1My heart trembleth - This is what the Septuagint has anticipated; see under Job 36:28; (note).

- Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 1At this also - That is, in view of the thunderstorm, for it is that which Elihu is describing.

We must notice the glory of God, not only in the thunder and lightning, but in the more common and less awful…Read the comment
