Job 37:21-22 | MHM | STEP | Elihu’s Closing Words: The Greatness and Majesty of God In this final part of his speech, Elihu reminds Job and the listeners of God’s awesome glory and power. He uses the image of clouds and light to show that God sometimes hides Himself in ways people cannot understand. Elihu says God is always just and wise, and people must respect and fear Him. As God is about to speak, Elihu quickly sums up his thoughts, encouraging everyone to have a humble attitude before the Almighty. v. 21–22 : Elihu says, And now men see not the bright light which is in the clouds: but the wind passeth, and cleanseth them. Fair weather cometh out of the north: with God is terrible majesty (Job 37:21–22 ). Sometimes God’s glory is hidden by clouds, just like the sun can be covered. But soon, the wind clears the sky, and light returns. In the same way, God’s majesty is great and should fill us with awe and respect (Psalm 97:2 ).

Elihu’s Closing Words: The Greatness and Majesty of God

In this final part of his speech, Elihu reminds Job and the listeners of God’s awesome glory and power. He uses the image of clouds and light to show that God sometimes hides Himself in ways people cannot understand. Elihu says God is always just and wise, and people must respect and fear Him. As God is about to speak, Elihu quickly sums up his thoughts, encouraging everyone to have a humble attitude before the Almighty.

v. 21–22: Elihu says, And now men see not the bright light which is in the clouds: but the wind passeth, and cleanseth them. Fair weather cometh out of the north: with God is terrible majesty (Job 37:21–22 ^a). Sometimes God’s glory is hidden by clouds, just like the sun can be covered. But soon, the wind clears the sky, and light returns. In the same way, God’s majesty is great and should fill us with awe and respect (Psalm 97:2 ^b).
