George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Job 37:9

Parts. The south, (chap. ix. 9.) whence storms commonly came in that country, (Calmet) from the sea or desert of Idumea. (Haydock) (Psalm lxxvii. 26., and Zacharias ix. 14., and Isaias xxi. 1.) --- North wind or pole. (Worthington) --- Yet the south seems to be designated; (ver. 17., and chap. xxxviii. 32.) though cold comes from the north, in Idumea as well as here. (Calmet) --- Mezarim, is rendered by Protestants "north." Marginal note, "scattering winds. " Septuagint Greek: akroterion,... read more

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Job 37:1-13

1-13 The changes of the weather are the subject of a great deal of our thoughts and common talk; but how seldom do we think and speak of these things, as Elihu, with a regard to God, the director of them! We must notice the glory of God, not only in the thunder and lightning, but in the more common and less awful changes of the weather; as the snow and rain. Nature directs all creatures to shelter themselves from a storm; and shall man only be unprovided with a refuge? Oh that men would listen... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Job 37:1-13

The Last Word on the Miracles in NatuRev. 1. At this, namely, the powerful exhibition of God's majesty, as just described, also my heart trembleth and is moved out of his place, springing up, giving a bound, as the awe of the spectacle took hold upon it. It seems also that the storm of which the next chapter speaks had gathered and was about to break at this point. v. 2. Hear attentively the noise of His voice, the roar of the Lord's voice in the thunder which was now to be heard plainly, ... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Job 37:1-24

the Light in the Clouds Job 37:1-24 As Elihu spoke a thunder-storm was gathering, and much of the imagery of this chapter is suggested by that fact. The little group listened to the sound of God’s voice in the thunder. Peal followed peal without cessation, Job 37:4 . The lightly-falling snow and the drenching showers are alike His work, whether they restrain men from their labor in the fields or drive the beasts to their dens, Job 37:8 . From the storm Elihu turns naturally to the winter,... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Job 37:1-24

The description of the storm commenced in the previous chapter and is here completed. There is first the drawing up of the water into the clouds, their spreading over the sky, the strange mutterings of the thunder. Then the flash of light, the darkness which follows, again lightning that strikes the mark, and the cattle are seen to be conscious of the storm. Gradually its violence increases, the thunder is louder, and the lightning more vivid. It is a strange mixture in which the south wind... read more

Arthur Peake

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Job 37:1-13

Job 37:1-1 Chronicles : . Elihu trembles at this. Listen to the thunder. First the lightning flashes ( Job 37:3) then the thunder follows ( Job 37:4 f.). Job 37:2 suggests that a thunderstorm was actually taking place while Elihu was speaking, and many see in this a preparation for the manifestation of Yahweh in ch. 38. It is not clear, however, that the author intended this, as he passes on from the thunderstorm to snow and rain. These God sends on the earth ( Job 37:6). They stop the work... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Job 37:9

Out of the south, Heb. out of the inner chamber; as the southern part of the world is called, because in a great part it was and is hid and unknown to those who live in the northern hemisphere, in which Job’s habitation lay. Or, out of the chambers of the south, as it is more largely expressed, Job 9:9; for this is opposed to the north in the following clause. The whirlwind; violent and stormy winds which in those parts most frequently came-out of the south, whence they are called whirlwinds of... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Job 37:1-24

ELIHU’S FOURTH SPEECH CONTINUEDElihu continues his discourse, apparently in the midst of loud thunder-claps, suddenly issuing from the storm-cloud out of which the Almighty was about to speak, and which had already been seen gathering. The scene sublime and terrific. Elihu sensibly affected by it. (Job 37:1)—“At this (the thunder he had just spoken of, ch. 36, 33), and which was now heard) my heart trembleth (beats with awe) and is moved (or leaps) out of his place”. Awe, a natural effect of... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Job 37:1-24

Chapter 37At this also my heart trembled, and is moved out of his place. Hear attentively the noise of his voice, and the sound that goeth out of his mouth. He directs it under the whole heaven, and his lightning to the ends of the earth. And after it a voice roars: and he thunders with the voice of his excellency; and he will not stay them when his voice is heard. God thunders marvelously with his voice; great things doeth he. And out of the south comes the whirlwind ( Job 37:1-5 , Job 37:9... read more
