Job 37:21 - Exposition

And now men see not the bright light which is in the clouds; rather, and now men cannot behold the light which is bright in the skies. Now, i.e; here in this world, men cannot look straight at the sun, since he dazzles them. How much less, then, would they be able to face God on his throne in heaven! Yet this is what Job had proposed to do ( Job 9:32-35 ; Job 13:18-22 ; Job 22:3-7 , etc.). But the wind passeth, and cleanseth them ; rather, when the wind passeth and cleareth them ; i.e. when, the wind having swept away the clouds and cleared the sky ' the sun shines forth in all its splendour.
