Job 37:16

37:16 Do you know about the balancing ¹  of the clouds,

that wondrous activity of him who is perfect in knowledge?

Job 38:37

38:37 Who by wisdom can count the clouds,

and who can tip over ²  the water jars of heaven,

¹ tn As indicated by HALOT 618 s.v. מִפְלָשׂ, the concept of “balancing” probably refers to “floating” or “suspension” (cf. NIV’s “how the clouds hang poised” and J. E. Hartley, Job [NICOT], 481-82, n. 2).

² tn The word actually means “to cause to lie down.”
