Job 37:2

“Hear attentively the noise of his voice, etc.] Of the voice of God in the clouds; and of thunder, which is his voice, (<184009>Job 40:9). Elihu being affected with it himself, exhorts the company about him to hearken and listen to it, and learn something from it; and the sound [that] goeth out of his mouth: as the former clause may have respect to loud thunder, a more violent crack or clap of it; so this may intend some lesser whispers and murmurs of it at a distance; or a rumbling noise in the clouds before they burst; since the word is sometimes used for private meditation.

“Hear attentively--the thunder (noise), &c., and then you will feel that there is good reason to tremble. sound--muttering of the thunder.”

“37:2 The Old Testament often associates thunder with God’s voice (36:29, 33; 37:5; 38:1; Exod 19:16-19; Ps 104:7).”

“Hear attentively: Heb. Hear in hearing the noise: Job 37:5, Job 36:29, Job 36:33, Job 38:1; Exo 19:16-19; Psa 104:7 Job 37:3”
