Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Commentary

Job 37:3

_ _ directeth it — however zigzag the lightning’s course; or, rather, it applies to the pealing roll of the thunder. God’s all-embracing power.

_ _ ends — literally, “wings,” “skirts,” the habitable earth being often compared to an extended garment (Job 38:13; Isaiah 11:12).

Matthew Henry's Commentary

See commentary on Job 37:1-5.

John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Job 37:3

Directeth — His voice: which he guideth like an arrow to the mark, that it may do that work for which he sends it.
