When he made a decree for the rain, and a way for the lightning of the thunder:
God made a decree and established order for the rain, and made a way, path and course for the lightning and the thunder. That order of nature is not self-sustaining necessity but His continual work and wise direction, and He uses the rain to make plants grow. The ordering of rain and lightning belongs to the wisdom and knowledge He possesses over the workings of nature, which is beyond human understanding and cannot be discovered, found, or purchased by human searching.
True wisdom is not found by searching the earth or by probing and trying to penetrate what God has not revealed, but by humbly receiving the revelation God gives and conforming life to His will. The conclusion connected to the verse defines wisdom for people as fearing the Lord, and understanding as departing from and turning from evil.
