Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Job 38:22

Dost thou know where I have laid up those vast quantities of snow and hail which I draw forth when I see fit? Dost thou know the causes of them, and the way to produce them? But if thou art unacquainted with these treasures, it is intolerable presumption in thee to pretend that thou knowest those treasures of wisdom which lie hid in my own breast. read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Job 38:1-41

JEHOVAH’S ADDRESS TO JOBElihu had now said all he intended. Possibly interrupted by the storm which had been gathering during his speech. Out of the storm-cloud, from which already issued thunders and lightnings, the Almighty was now to speak. The grandeur and sublimity of the scene not to be surpassed. Its only counterpart at the giving of the law on Mount Sinai (Exodus 19:18).I. The announcement of the Almighty’s speech. Job 38:1.—“Then the Lord answered Job out of the whirlwind” (or... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Job 38:22

Job 38:22 Snow is my text, written in letters of white. "Hast thou" have you, boy or girl "entered into the treasures of the snow?" How pure it is; how soft it is; how strong it is; how silent it is; how useful it is. I. Think of the purity of the snow. What a wonderful white it is! You can get no other white like it. If you would learn the lesson of purity, never say an impure word. You cannot help the thought coming into your mind, but do not cherish the thought. II. Then think of two things... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Job 38:1-41

Then the LORD answered Job out of the whirlwind, and said, Who is this that darkeneth counsel by words without knowledge? Gird up now thy loins like a man; for I will demand of thee, and answer thou me. Where were you when I laid the foundations of the earth? tell me, if you have understanding. Who has laid the measures of it, tell me if you know? or who has stretched the line upon it? Where are the foundations fastened? or who laid the corner stone thereof; When the morning stars sang... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Job 38:1-41

Job 38:1 . The whirlwind. Clouds and flames are the chariots of the Lord, in deigning to speak with men. When he spake to Elijah in Horeb, it was with wind, and fire, and earthquake. Likewise in Psalms 18:11, it is said, he clothed himself with thick clouds of darkness. It belongs to him alone to clear up the clouds of his providence. Job 38:3 . Gird up now thy loins like a man, like the ancient Kibborim or giants. Oh Job, thou art ignorant of the cause of thy calamities; thou knowest... read more

Job 38:22Hast thou entered into the treasures of the snow? The treasures of the snowI. The beauty of these “treasures.” The manifold pleasing forms shaped by the different objects on which it falls; the broad white coverlet of the expansive plain; the undulating hills; the mountain peaks, whose white vestures are seen afar off like interceding high priests. Suggesting to the spiritual eye the infinite resources at the command of the Creator, and the incomprehensible variety and fulness of moral... read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Job 38:22

γ . He must have penetrated to the storehouses of snow and hail, and entered nature’s laboratory, where, like so many implements of war, they are produced in vast quantities; he must have found his way to the focal centre from which light divides itself and whence the east wind is dispersed over the earth, Job 38:22-24.
