Job 38:31 - Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Bible Comments

Bind — Restrain or hinder them. Pleiades — The seven stars, which bring in the spring. Bands — By which it binds up the air and earth, by bringing storms of rain and hail or frost and snow. Orion — This constellation rises in November, and brings in winter. Both summer and winter will have their course? God indeed can change them when he pleases, can make the spring cold, and so bind the influences of Pleiades, and the winter warm, and so loose the bands of Orion; but we cannot.

Job 38:31

31 Canst thou bind the sweet influences of Pleiades,f or loose the bands of Orion?
