Job37:16
16. Dost thou know the balancings of the clouds, the wondrous works of him which is perfect in knowledge ?
How God doth as it were weigh and suspend the Clouds in Balances, so that although they are ponderous and full of Water, yet they are by his power kept up in the thin Air from falling down upon us in spouts and floods, as sometimes they have done and generally would do, if not over-ruled by an higher Providence.
Who exactly knows the weight. These are effects and evidences of his infinite power and knowledge.
