Commentary on Job 26:8

Theological / Devotional

Bindeth up the waters. The metaphor is probably drawn from the waterskins, so well known in the East, and especially in Arabia, in which water was stored. These skins were likely to be “rent,” or torn, by the weight of the liquid. Yet the clouds could carry vast amounts of water without such mishaps (see Job 38:37; Prov. 30:4).
