Matthew Poole and continuators on Job 37:7

7. He Sealeth up the hand of every man , that all men may know his work .

By these great Snows and Rains he drives men out of the Fields, and seals or binds up their hands from all that work, and drives them home to their Houses, and in a manner shuts them up there. See Gen. 7. 16. Exod. 9. 19. Or, By his Hand, or Power (i. e. By those powerful works of his Hand here mentioned) he s[illegible: 1+ letters]aleth, or shutteth up, or keepeth close every man, to wit, in his House, as the Beasts in their Dens, v. 8.

That men being hindered from action and their own work, and so being idle and at perfect leisure may fall to a serious contemplation of these, and other great and glorious works of God, Or, that he (i. e. every man, as was now expressed) may know (or enquire into or take an account of) [illegible: 1+ letters]ll his work-men: for which the proper season is when they are all hindred from their work, and brought together into the House.
