Job 36:31 - John Trapp Complete Commentary

Bible Comments

For by them judgeth he the people; he giveth meat in abundance.

Ver. 31. For by them judgeth he the people] i.e. By rain and drought in excess or defect, he punisheth people at his pleasure; whom oh how easily could he affamish by denying them a harvest or two! in granting whereof he giveth testimony of his bounty, Job 14:17 .

He giveth meat in abundance] sc. By sending moderate showers fattening the earth; whereunto also the preaching of the Word is fitly compared, Isaiah 55:10,11, which those that drink not in and fructify, Deuteronomy 32:2, are accursed, Hebrews 6:8 .
