Job 29:22 - Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible

After my words they spake not again; either to confute them as false, or to add to them as lame and imperfect. Dropped upon them, to wit, as the rain, as the next verse explains it, which when it comes down gently and droppingly upon the earth, is most acceptable and beneficial to it; not so when it comes in great and violent showers.
