Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Job 37:22

_ _ Rather, “golden splendor.” Maurer translates “gold.” It is found in northern regions. But God cannot be “found out,” because of His “Majesty” (Job 37:23). Thus the twenty-eighth chapter corresponds; English Version is simpler.

_ _ the northBrightness is chiefly associated with it (see on Job 23:9). Here, perhaps, because the north wind clears the air (Proverbs 25:23). Thus this clause answers to the last of Job 37:21; as the second of this verse to the first of Job 37:21. Inverted parallelism. (See Isaiah 14:13; Psalms 48:2).

_ _ with God — rather, “upon God,” as a garment (Psalms 104:1, Psalms 104:2).

_ _ majesty — splendor.

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Job 37:21-24.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Job 37:22

North — From the northern winds which scatter the clouds, and clear the sky. Elihu concludes with some short, but great sayings, concerning the glory of God. He speaks abruptly and in haste, because it should seem, he perceived God was approaching, and presumed he was about to take the work into his own hands.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

Job 37:22

(t) Fair weather cometh out of the north: with God [is] terrible majesty.
