Commentary on Job 37:9

Theological / Devotional

Out of the south. Literally, “out of the chamber,” that is, the storehouse where God is pictured as keeping His tempests (see Job 38:22; Ps. 135:7).

Out of the north. Literally, “out of the scatterers.” These seem to be the violent winds that drive away the clouds and bring a clear, frosty atmosphere.

Elihu is emphasizing that all these things are under the control of God, and that these natural phenomena prove His greatness.
