Job37:5
5. God thundreth marvellously with his voice: great things doth he, which we cannot comprehend .
With a wonderful and terrible noise, and so as to produce many wonderful effects, as the breaking down of great and strong Trees or Buildings, the killing of men in a stupendious manner, &c.
Even in the course of Nature and in visible things: which all men see, but scarce any can give the true and satisfactory reasons of them, for the greatest Philosophers speak onely by guess, and are greatly divided among themselves about them. And therefore it is not strange if the secret and deep counsels of Divine Providence be out of our reach; and it is great arrogancy in thee, O Iob, to censure them because thou dost not fully understand them.
