It cometh. A like or the same expression is applied to the Sun, (Psal. 19.3.) He hath set a Tabernacle for the Sun, which is as a Bridegroom coming out of his Chamber, and rejoiceth as a strong man to run a Race. As the Sun cometh every morning out of his Chamber by Gods appointment; so doth the Whirlwind at special times appointed by God. 'Tis fitly said such fierce and un•uly winds come forth, for they are as it were kept fast in prison till God takes off their Bonds, and opens their Prison-door, and then out they come furiously and boisterously, to do the work God hath commanded and designed them to. Out of the South cometh the Whirlwind.

When Elihu saith, The Whirlwind, the great Wind cometh out of the So••h, he doth not express, yet intimates, who it is that brings the Whirlwind out of the South: The Why lwind cometh, but it doth no• come before it is sent. The sco e o• Elihu all along is, to show the mighty power of God in ordering and disposing the Meteors, and among them, these mighty winds.
