Matthew Poole and continuators on Proverbs 8:28

28. When he established the clouds above; when he strengthned the fountains of the deep :

Heb. strengthned, by his Word and Decree, which alone upholds the Clouds in the Air, which of themselves are thin and weak Bodies and would quickly be dissolved or dispersed.

When he shut up the several Fountains in the Cavities of the Earth, and kept them there as it were by a strong hand for the use of Mankind.

Which have their Original from the deep, either from the Sea, or from the Abyss of Waters in the Bowels of the Earth.

Marginal references: Heb. the skies.
