This Chapter Verse Commentaries:





It seems not improbable, that whilst Elihu was speaking it thundered greatly, and that tempest was begun wherewith God ushered in his speech, as it here follows, Job_38:1, and that this occasioned his return to that subject of which he had discoursed before, and his exhortation to them to mind it with deeper attention.



The noise of his voice; or, his voice (to wit, the thunder, which is called a voice, Exo_20:18, and God’s voice, Psa_29:4) with trembling; because the thunder is an effect or evidence of God’s mighty power, and ofttimes of his anger also. The sound that goeth out of his mouth; as the voice (and thunder is God’s voice) goeth out of man’s mouth. Or, that is produced by God’s word or command, which is oft signified by his mouth.
