What the Fathers say
Western Saints
Gregory the Dialogist
God will thunder marvellously with His voice. Who doeth great things and inscrutable. God thunders marvellously with His voice, because He penetrates our hearts incomprehensibly with His secret might. For while with its secret motions it overpowers us with fear, and fashions us in love, it proclaims in some silent manner how eagerly He is to be followed, and a violent impulse arises in the mind, though nothing sounds in the voice. …
Thomas Aquinas
But the voice is not only ordered to the teaching of men who hear it, but also to the perfection of natural works which happen following the command of divine wisdom. Therefore, he repeats a second time, "God will thunder in his voice," in the command of his wisdom, "wonderfully," by producing wonderful effects, and to express this he then says, "and he does great," according to their nature, "and unsearchable things," by human reason.
