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). A proper consideration of God's majesty in the thunder and lightning is enough to appall the stoutest heart, confound the wisest mind, and fill all with humility and devotion.

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
