Commentary on Job 29:23

Theological / Devotional

Rain. To compare Job’s counsel with rain was to assign to it the very highest value. The “latter rain” refers to the spring rains that aided in bringing crops to maturity (see Vol. II, pp. 108, 109; cf. Deut. 11:14; Jer. 3:3; 5:24; Joel 2:23; Hosea 6:3).
