Job5:10

10. Who giveth rain upon the earth, and sendeth waters upon the fields .

He beginneth with this ordinary and obvious work of God, in which he implies that there is something unsearchable and wonderful, as indeed there is in the rise of it from the Earth, in the strange hanging of that heavy body in the Air, and in the distribution of it as God sees fit, Amos 4. 7. and how much more in the secret Counsels, and hidden paths of Divine Providence, which Iob took the liberty to censure.

Either Fountains and Rivers, which is another great and wonderful work of God: Or rather Rainwater, as the following words imply: the same thing being repeated in other words after the manner.

Or, upon all places abroad, i. e. which have no covering to keep out the Rain.

Marginal references: Heb. outplaces.
