Job 9:8
_ _ spreadeth out — (Isaiah 40:22; Psalms 104:2). But throughout it is not so much God’s creating, as His governing, power over nature that is set forth. A storm seems a struggle between Nature and her Lord! Better, therefore, “Who boweth the heavens alone,” without help of any other. God descends from the bowed-down heaven to the earth (Psalms 18:9). The storm, wherein the clouds descend, suggests this image. In the descent of the vault of heaven, God has come down from His high throne and walks majestically over the mountain waves (Hebrew, “heights”), as a conqueror taming their violence. So “tread upon” (Deuteronomy 33:29; Amos 4:13; Matthew 14:26). The Egyptian hieroglyphic for impossibility is a man walking on waves. |
Job 9:8
Who. &c. — A farther description of a black and tempestuous season, wherein the heavens seem to be brought down nearer to the earth. Treadeth — Represseth and ruleth them when they rage and are tempestuous: for treading upon any thing, signifies in scripture using power and dominion over it. |
