Job 26:8 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

Bible Comments

This also is a miraculous work of God, considering the nature of these waters, which are fluid and heavy, and pressing downward, especially being ofttimes there in great abundance; and withal, the quality of the clouds, which are thin and loose bodies of the same nature with fogs and mists upon the face of the earth, and therefore of themselves utterly unable to bear that weight, and to keep up those waters from falling suddenly and violently upon the earth.

Job 26:8

8 He bindeth up the waters in his thick clouds; and the cloud is not rent under them.
