Matthew Poole and continuators on Job 37:17

17. How thy garments are warm , when he quieteth the earth By the South w[illegible: 1+ letters]nd ?

How and why thy garments keep thee warm; of which as there are some natural causes, so it is certain that they are not sufficient to do it without Gods blessing, as experience shews, Hagg. 1. 6.

i. e. The Air about the earth.

Which though sometimes it brings Tempests, v. 9. yet commonly it ushereth in hot weather, Luke 12. 55. as the North-wind brings cold, v. 9. Or, from the South wind, i. e. from the Tempest which was noted to come out of the South, v. 9. Heb. from or by the South, i. e. by the Suns coming into the Southern parts, which makes the Air quiet and warm.
