Job 37:1-2
The Address of ElihuIn this section, Elihu reflects on the power and majesty of God as displayed in thunder and lightning. He explains that these natural phenomena are reminders of God’s greatness and should inspire awe and reverence. Elihu uses these examples to encourage Job to consider God’s power and wisdom, which are beyond human understanding. He also suggests that thunder and lightning may have been occurring as he spoke, serving as a dramatic backdrop to his words.v. 1–2: Elihu says, At this also my heart trembleth, and is moved out of his place. Hear attentively the noise of his voice, and the sound that goeth out of his mouth (Job 37:1–2 a). Elihu describes how thunder makes his heart tremble with fear and awe. He calls Job to listen carefully to the sound of God’s voice in the thunder, which reveals His power and majesty (Psalm 29:3–9 b). –
