Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Job 36:31

_ _ These (rain and lightnings) are marvelous and not to be understood (Job 36:29), yet necessary. “For by them He judgeth (chastiseth on the one hand), etc. (and on the other, by them) He giveth meat” (food), etc. (Job 37:13; Job 38:23, Job 38:27; Acts 14:17).

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Job 36:24-33.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Job 36:31

Judgeth — By thunder and lightning, and rain from the clouds, he executes his judgments against ungodly people. Meat — Giveth meat. By the same clouds, he provides plentiful showers dropping fatness on the earth.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

Job 36:31

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

(y) He shows that the rain has a double use: the one that it declares God's judgments, when it overflows any places, and the other that it makes the land fruitful.
