Job 37:9
| Out of the inner parts shall a tempest come, and cold out of the north.
| Parts. The south, (chap. 9:9.) whence storms commonly came in that country, (Calmet) from the sea or desert of Idumea. (Haydock) (Psalm 77:26., and Zacharias 9:14., and Isaias 21:1.) --- North wind or pole. (Worthington) --- Yet the south seems to be designated; (ver. 17., and Job 38:32.) though cold comes from the north, in Idumea as well as here. (Calmet) --- Mezarim, is rendered by Protestants "north." Marginal note, "scattering winds." Septuagint akroterion, "summits" of mountains.
