John Wesley's Explanatory Notes

Job 38:9

The cloud — When I covered it with vapours and clouds which rise out of the sea, and hover above it, and cover it like a garment. Darkness — Black and dark clouds. Swaddling band — Having compared the sea to a new — born infant, he continues the metaphor, and makes the clouds as swaddling — bands, to keep it within its bounds: though indeed neither clouds, nor air, nor sands, nor shores, can bound the sea, but God alone.

Geneva Bible Translation Notes

Job 38:9

When I made the cloud the garment thereof, and thick darkness a (g) swaddlingband for it,

(g) As though the great sea was but as a little baby in the hands of God to turn to and fro.
