This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Taken from Isa 40:6-8.
heat - rather, “the hot wind” from the (east or) south, which scorches vegetation (Luk 12:55). The “burning heat” of the sun is not at its rising, but rather at noon; whereas the scorching Kadim wind is often at sunrise (Jon 4:8) [Middleton, The Doctrine of the Greek Article]. Mat 20:12 uses the Greek word for “heat.” Isa 40:7, “bloweth upon it,” seems to answer to “the hot wind” here.
grace of the fashion - that is of the external appearance.
in his ways - referring to the burdensome extent of the rich man’s devices [Bengel]. Compare “his ways,” that is, his course of life, Jam 1:8.
