Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Job 37:10

_ _ the breath of God — poetically, for the ice-producing north wind.

_ _ frost — rather, “ice.”

_ _ straitened — physically accurate; frost compresses or contracts the expanded liquid into a congealed mass (Job 38:29, Job 38:30; Psalms 147:17, Psalms 147:18).

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Job 37:6-13.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Job 37:10

The waters — The waters which had freely spread themselves before, are congealed and bound up in crystal fetters.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

Job 37:10

By the breath of God frost is given: and the breadth of the waters (g) is straitened.

(g) That is, frozen up and dried.
