The Lord can speak His “Shalom!” to the storm. Or, as the storm rages, He can speak peace to us! Elihu isn’t finished with the cloud motif.

“And David said, ‘O Lord, I pray, turn the counsel of Ahithophel into foolishness!’” (2 Sam 15:31). The wisdom of the world does not fare well in Scripture. “For the wisdom of this world is foolishness with God” (1 Cor 3:19).
