(Show All Books | Show All Chapters)
This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
vanities - idols (Deu 32:21).
rain - (Zec 10:1, Zec 10:2).
heavens - namely, of themselves without God (Mat 5:45; Act 14:17); they are not the First Cause, and ought not to be deified, as they were by the heathen. The disjunctive “or” favors Calvin’s explanation: “Not even the heavens themselves can give rain, much less can the idol vanities.”
art not thou he - namely, who canst give rain?
