Adam Clarke's Commentary
Verse 14 Hearken unto this - Hear what I say on the part of God. Stand still - Enter into deep contemplation on the subject. And consider - Weigh every thing; examine separately and collectively; and draw right conclusions from the whole. The wondrous works of God - Endless in their variety; stupendous in their structure; complicated in their parts; indescribable in their relations and connections; and incomprehensible in the mode of their formation, in the cohesion of their parts, and in the ends of their creation.

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on Job 37:14-20
Due thoughts of the works of God will help to reconcile us to all his providences. As God has a powerful, freezing north wind, so he has a thawing, composing south wind: the Spirit is compared to both, because he both convinces and comforts, So 4:16. The best of men are much in the dark concerning the glorious perfections of the Divine nature and the Divine government. Those who, through grace, know much of God, know nothing, in comparison with what is to be known, and of what will be known, when that which is perfect is come.
