Job 37:17

You whose clothes get hot when the land lies hushed under the south wind,

Job 37:17 · BSB

Job 37:17 in context

The verses around it, from Job 37.

13 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?

16 Do you understand how the clouds float, those wonders of Him who is perfect in knowledge?

17 You whose clothes get hot when the land lies hushed under the south wind,

18 can you, like Him, spread out the skies to reflect the heat like a mirror of bronze?

19 Teach us what we should say to Him; we cannot draw up our case when our faces are in darkness.

20 Should He be told that I want to speak? Would a man ask to be swallowed up?

21 Now no one can gaze at the sun when it is bright in the skies after the wind has swept them clean.
