Job 37:21

And now men see not the bright light - Mr. Good gives the sense clearer: -

"Even now we cannot look at the light

When it is resplendent in the heavens.

And a wind from the north hath passed along and cleared them."

Elihu seems to refer to the insufferable brightness of the sun. Can any man look at the sun shining in his strength, when a clear and strong wind has purged the sky from clouds and vapours? Much less can any gaze on the majesty of God. Every creature must sink before him. What execrably dangerous folly in man to attempt to arraign His conduct!
