Matthew Poole and continuators on Job 36:33

33. The noise thereof sheweth concerning it ; the cattle also concerning the vapour .

To wit, of or within the black and thick Cloud, spoken of v. 32. Or [illegible: 1+ letters]is, i. e. Gods, noise, to wit, the Thunder, which is called Gods voice, Psal. 29. 4, 5.

To wit, the rain, which is the Principal subject of these Verses, of which he speaketh expresly, v. 27, 28. and of its Companions, the Clouds, and Thunder and Lightning in all the following Verses. The sense is, The Thunder gives notice of [illegible: 1+ letters]he approaching Rain.

And as the Thunder, so also the Cattle sheweth (which Verb is understood out of the foregoing Clause, after the manner) concerning the Vapour, i. e. concerning the coming of the Rain: but he puts Vapour for the Rain, because divers Cattle are very sagacious in this matter, and do not onely perceive the Rain when it is ready to fall, but foresee it at some distance by the Vapours which are drawn up by the Sun in great abundance, and by divers motions and actions give men timely notice of it, as hath been observed not onely by Husbandmen, but also by learned Authors.

Marginal references: Heb. that whic[illegible: 1+ letters] goeth up.
