Job 37:14
12 They swirl about, whirling at His direction, accomplishing all that He commands over the face of all the earth.
13 Whether for punishment or for His land, He accomplishes this in His loving devotion.
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?
16 Do you understand how the clouds float, those wonders of Him who is perfect in knowledge?
Do read the surrounding verses too, because the context often says more than a single verse.
