Job 26:8 - Clarke's commentary and critical notes on the Bible

Bible Comments

He bindeth up the waters in his thick clouds; and the cloud is not rent under them. He bindeth up the waters - Drives the aqueous particles together, which were raised by evaporation, so that, being condensed, they form clouds which float in the atmosphere, till, meeting with strong currents of wind, or by the agency of the electric fluid, they are farther condensed; and then, becoming too heavy to be sustained in the air, fall down in the form of rain, when, in this poetic language, the cloud is rent under them.

Job 26:8

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