John Trapp on Job 38:28

Verſe 28 Hath the rain a father?] Subandi, praeter me, faith Vatablus? Hath it any father but me? Can any of the Heathen Deities give raine? Or can the Heavens give ſhowres? Art not thou He, O Lord our God? Therefore we will wait upon thee, for thou haſt made all theſe things, Jerem. 14.22.

Or who hath begotten the drops of the dew?] Thoſe round orient Pearls, that falling from heaven in a clear night, do ſweetly refreſh whatſoever groweth in fields and Meadowes. The natural cauſes hereof, and of raine are knowne, but we muſt riſe higher to God, the firſt Authour and Father of theſe and other things, before and after mentioned, who bringeth them out of his Treaſuries, and doth wonderfully both make and manage them. It is remarkable that Chriſt ſaith, Hoſ. 14.5. I will be as the dew unto Iſrael, He ſhall grow as the Lilly, &c. (See the Note on that Text) Chriſt is unto them as a cloud of dew in the heat of harveſt, Iſai. 18.4. Making their hearts to be as ſo many watered gardens, Jer. 31.12.
