Job 37:11-13
_ _ How the thunderclouds are dispersed, or else employed by God, either for correction or mercy.
_ _ by watering — by loading it with water.
_ _ wearieth — burdeneth it, so that it falls in rain; thus “wearieth” answers to the parallel “scattereth” (compare, see on Job 37:9); a clear sky resulting alike from both.
_ _ bright cloud — literally, “cloud of his light,” that is, of His lightning. Umbreit for “watering,” etc., translates; “Brightness drives away the clouds, His light scattereth the thick clouds”; the parallelism is thus good, but the Hebrew hardly sanctions it. |

Scattereth — As for the white and lightsome clouds, he scatters and dissolves them by the wind or sun. |
