Job 37:13

11 He loads the clouds with moisture; He scatters His lightning through them.

12 They swirl about, whirling at His direction, accomplishing all that He commands over the face of all the earth.

Whether for punishment or for His land, He accomplishes this in His loving devotion.

14 Listen to this, O Job; stand still and consider the wonders of God.

15 Do you know how God dispatches the clouds or makes the lightning flash?
