Job 37:13

¹¹ Also by watering he wearieth the thick cloud: he scattereth his bright cloud:

¹² And it is turned round about by his counsels: that they may do whatsoever he commandeth them upon the face of the world in the earth.

He causeth it to come, whether for correction, or for his land, or for mercy.

¹⁴ Hearken unto this, O Job: stand still, and consider the wondrous works of God.

¹⁵ Dost thou know when God disposed them, and caused the light of his cloud to shine?

Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
