JOB, Chap. 37. Vers. 9, 10, 11. 9. Out of the South cometh the Whirlwind, and cold out of the North. 10. By the breath of God Frost is given; and the breadth of the Waters is straitened. 11. Also by watering he wearieth the thick Cloud: he scattereth his bright Cloud.

Elihu having spoken of Thunder and Lightning, as also of Snow and Rain, with their effects upon man and beast, at the 6th, 7th and 8th verses last opened, he in the 9th and 10th verses speaks of the Winds, with their effects; first, Cold▪ Secondly, Frost: or, first, of the Wind; secondly, of the Cold; and thirdly, of the Frost; and then at the 11th verse, of the wonderful works of God in disposing and dispersing the water in the Clouds, for the refreshing of the earth by Rain in its season.

In the 9th and 10th verses (I say) he discourseth of the Winds; and though there be four Cardinal or principal Winds, the East, West, North and South, which are subdivided into thirty-two Winds according to the Mariners Compass, yet here Elihu treats by name of two Winds only, the South-Wind, and the North-Wind; which two are often and eminently spoken of in Scripture; which two, as they come from directly contrary Points in the Heavens, so they produce contrary effects, famously known among men, on earth. And therefore, I conceive, Elihu gives instance only about them, as being more generally taken notice of.
