This Chapter Verse Commentaries:
Literally, “He maketh it (the rain-cloud) find place,” whether for correction, if (it be destined) for His land (that is, for the part inhabited by man, with whom God deals, as opposed to the parts uninhabited, on which rain is at other times appointed to fall, Job 38:26, Job 38:27) or for mercy. “If it be destined for His land” is a parenthetical supposition [Maurer]. In English Version, this clause spoils the even balance of the antithesis between the “rod” (Margin) and “mercy” (Psa 68:9; Gen 7:1-24).
