In Hebrew, the word for thunder is "ra'am," which is used throughout the Old Testament to signify God's presence and power. Thunder, as a natural phenomenon, is beyond human control, symbolizing God's sovereignty over creation. This imagery reminds us of God's omnipotence and His ability to command the elements, reinforcing the belief that He is the ultimate authority over the universe.the waters in the heavens roar This phrase highlights the majestic and awe-inspiring nature of God's creation. The "waters in the heavens" can be understood as the celestial waters or the atmospheric phenomena that God controls. The Hebrew word for "roar" is "hamah," which conveys a sense of tumult and agitation, much like the sound of a storm. This imagery serves to remind believers of God's control over the natural world, emphasizing His role as the Creator who orchestrates the forces of nature for His purposes.and He causes the clouds to rise from the ends of the earth Here, the phrase underscores God's omnipresence and His ability to influence the entire earth. The "clouds" are often seen as symbols of God's presence and guidance, as seen in the Exodus narrative where God led the Israelites with a pillar of cloud. The "ends of the earth" signifies the vastness of God's reach and His dominion over all creation. This phrase reassures believers of God's constant presence and His active role in the world, orchestrating events according to His divine will.He makes lightning for the rain This phrase illustrates God's intricate design and control over the weather. Lightning and rain are natural phenomena that are essential for life, and their occurrence is depicted as being under God's command. The Hebrew word for "lightning" is "baraq," which is often associated with God's power and judgment. This imagery serves as a reminder of God's provision and His ability to sustain life through the natural order He established.and brings the wind from His storehouses The final phrase emphasizes God's sovereignty over the elements. The "wind" is often seen as a symbol of God's Spirit and His active presence in the world. The concept of "storehouses" suggests that God has an abundant supply of resources at His disposal, which He uses to fulfill His purposes. This imagery reassures believers of God's providence and His ability to provide for His creation, reinforcing the belief in His omnipotence and benevolence.<div class="vheading2"><a href="/commentaries/ellicott/jeremiah/10.htm">Ellicott's Commentary for English Readers</a></div>(13) A multitude of waters.--Better, a rush of waters, following on the thunder, which is thought of as the voice of God (comp. <a href="/psalms/29-3.htm" title="The voice of the LORD is on the waters: the God of glory thunders: the LORD is on many waters.">Psalm 29:3</a>). The prophet finds the tokens of Almighty Power alike in the fixed order of the Cosmos and its most catastrophic perturbations. The strict construction of the Hebrew gives, At the voice of His giving the roar of waters.He maketh lightnings.--The last half of the verse agrees verbally with <a href="/psalms/135-7.htm" title="He causes the vapors to ascend from the ends of the earth; he makes lightning for the rain; he brings the wind out of his treasuries.">Psalm 135:7</a> (where see Note), and one is obviously a quotation from the other, or both from some common source. We have no data, however, for saying which is the older of the two.

God's "voice" is the thunder (<a href="/psalms/29-3.htm">Psalm 29:3</a>), which is accompanied by the gathering of heavy clouds ("His pavilion round about him," <a href="/psalms/18-11.htm">Psalm 18:11</a>). He causeth the vapors to ascend, etc.; the storm-clouds coming up more and more thickly from the horizon. From this point the verse agrees with <a href="/psalms/135-7.htm">Psalm 135:7</a> (the psalm is full of such reminiscences, and is obviously very late). Lightning's with rain; rather, for the rain. The lightning's are, as it were, the heralds or attendants of the rain.
